Deranged Texas killer Salvador Ramos had been trying to buy a gun for at least eight months — and openly chatted about his reputation as a likely school shooter in social media messages posted in the months before Tuesday’s attack, officials announced Friday.
“Ramos asked his sister to help him buy a gun” as far back as Sept. 21, Texas Department of Public Safety director Col. Steven McCraw announced Friday as he detailed the killer’s online activity.
Then Ramos — who legally bought the rifle he used after turning 18 last week — had numerous group chats on Instagram in which they openly “discussed Ramos being a school shooter,” McCraw announced.
That started on Feb. 28 — nearly three months before he slaughtered 19 kids and two teachers Tuesday at Robb Elementary in the second-deadliest school shooting in US history.
The next day, March 1, a member of an Instagram chat he had with four others “discussed him buying a gun,” the police official revealed.

one name comes to mind, George Floyd.
clearly we must dump the 2nd amendment
I think Meta needs to be sued over this by the families of the children and the teachers.
He had a job. That’s where he got his money. When he said he had enough, he quit.
“So, where would this unemployed high school dropout come up with that kind of money?”
Stole Grandma and Grandpa’s credit cards or cash, maybe. My Gran had cash stored in the house; she didn’t trust banks.
Hell, I don’t know anybody who doesn’t have a rainy day fund of some sort.
Plus, there are those refillable credit cards you can buy at WalMart for online purchases. It’s an easy way to protect your bank account from fraud.
The criminal minded individual who wants firearms will get them eventually.
There is no link!
I’m bothered by the back door of the school being open. Did he have an accomplice in the school?
Today on Alex Jones a caller identified himself as a DHS contractor, who said he saw intel that Ramos was for months in the Discourse app and among people he talked to about getting guns and doing the deed, the Buffalo shooter.
“I’m bothered by the back door of the school being open. Did he have an accomplice in the school?”
It’s been explained in multiple other threads about a teacher propping the door open to go to her car to retrieve a cell phone and not ensuring the door closed. Don’t jump immediately to treachery that which is easily explained by stupid human tricks.
How does this shooting generate sympathy for illegals?
What is the story on this kid’s status as a legal citizen. Two days ago I heard rumors he was wanted in El Salvador for murder, of course that could have been someone else.
The facts in this case have been muddled from the beginning, it now has taken about three days for the real truth to start coming out and it is ugly from the point of view of LEO’s. Was there not one who was willing to risk his life to save those kids???? Only a border agent who had a kid in that school came and went in. That is just damned pathetic. And why would it take the local SWAT over an hour to get there, what were they doing?????
I’m more interested in this recruiting happening over Discord of both the Buffalo and Texas shooter. There are chat logs and its quite compelling.
He was supposedly bullied because he was so poor.
Where did he get $4 or $5 grand for guns and ammo and a $75,000 pickup? From flipping burgers at Wendy’s? I don’t think so. I don’t see poor.
I smell a big dam rat.
False flag?
Cartel money?
Tranny sugar daddy?
I seriously doubt that he was wearing a flack vest. Maybe Kevlar (sometimes also called body armor) though...
A Flack vest or Flack jacket is used to protect against fragments from explosives (or anti-air), and is very heavy.
But it is a harmless drug.

I believe that law refers to hand guns (18-21). Not rifles.
Bkmk
Isn’t alcohol many magnitudes more likely to cause a person to lose inhibition and act irrationally or violently?
Are the 'authorities' investigating the contacts in these discussion sessions? If the FBI are doing that I am very sceptical that a handler will surface.
