Considering the suspect's name, I have to wonder if the children in this 2008 article on an Obama visit to Grand Rapids are related:

Youngster's opinion

Youngsters Airyonna Dantzler, 10, Hannah Carter, 13 and Rodrick Dantzler, 9, wore their feelings on their shirts for Obama. But they were not just words.

The Grand Rapids Knapp Charter Academy students did not get inside but listened outside and peered through the glass windows.

"You know some people said he doesn't like America, but you can't believe what some people say," said 10 year-old Dantzler. "If you listen to his speech, you know he loves America."

This must have resulted from a lack of gun laws. /s

Looking at that father laying on the ground in pure anguish over the lose of his daughter makes my heart just sink. I pray to God this man hurts no one else and is captured soon. God help this country. Give peace and comfort to all the victims families. In Jesus name Amen!!

The c-word in the White House will make some stupid racist comment about the victims and our local police, then go golfing.

It seems as if there is a lot of tension bubbling just below the surface, now that “the One” is in charge.

Can’t find by scanning any of the articles why this pos killed all those people. Did he have a reason- or just another black on white killing?

This could add to the “disproportionate” and thus ‘racist” Black over population in prisons.

So, I hope the cops kill him.

I think once you get past ten killed the cops are allowed to shoot the SOB dead even if hes unarmed and surrenders live on TV

I think if someone kills one and somebody else doesn’t get you first, the cops should be allowed to expend all available ammo on him.

(face palm).

Yep, my bad. Didn’t read it.

But I did call it right.

I read now that he’s taken hostages. He’s apparently communicated with police that he’s unhappy with the pursuit/chase.

Golly, how about that? A guy kills a bunch of people and creates mayhem and destruction in his wake and he’s unhappy with the way civil society wants to hound his ass to the ground?
