Diversity breeds chaos and enmity. It’s only going to get worse folks. Diversity is the national religion, and any questioning of it is heresy.

First of all - you are SO on top of things! Thanks!

Secondly:

“The suspect in that tragedy is no longer with us,” Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna said. “He is no longer a threat.”

So, he’s pinin’ for the Fjords? Good. Saves the Taxpayers some cash for a trial and, ‘three hots and a cot’ until he died of natural causes.

Next round of ‘gun legislation’ pimped by the Socialist Democrats will be on the floor by dawn!

“Diversity is the national religion, and any questioning of it is heresy.“

Technically the lefties violated the 1st amendment. Not that they ever believed in the constitution, except when it served their nefarious purposes.

He described the suspected mass shooting weapon, recovered at the second crime scene, as a "magazine-fed semi-automatic pistol." He said he doesn't believe it is legal to possess in California.

Whoa, the murderer had an illegal gun, SHOCKING!

There was a mass shooting of by a Vietnamese man in Binghampton NY back in 2009.

Here is a Wikipedia article on it: Binghamton shooting.

He killed 13, wounded 4, and committed suicide at the crime scene.

Interesting Vietnamese indeed.

I remember a few years ago one of the Hmong had killed six hunters from a tree stand in rural Wisconsin.

We have to be patient, his motives will be revealed eventually.

Maybe a domestic thing. His wife was invited to the dance thing, but not him. That’s the speculation.

It's probably not White Supremacy, but I won't be surprised if the media tries to say that it is.

Have to wonder if this guy was a veteran of the ARVN and had a grudge against some of the people in that room or some form of PTSD. Many ARVN vets made it here and don’t think they get the support that most American vets of the war get even in their own community.

Driving while dead? Add that to the list of charges.

Most semi-automatic pistols are magazine fed. Since it is California, the specific model of pistol has to be on their "approved list" to be legal. Almost anything with a magazine capacity greater than 10 rounds would be "illegal".

Domestic issue....apparently bad relationship with wife. Daily Mail rported that th owner regularly invited some and not others for special events...he was not invited. Whatever that means I see this as a disgruntled husband full of anger and revenge takes it out on those in that dance studio.

Would be interesting to know if his wife was one of those shot...and if or not she lived.

“We still are not clear on a motive,” Luna said.
Yeah, right. Stop being politically correct and submissive to corrupt politicians. We all know the motive: lack of charity.

Or a VC or NVA reliving TET '68 vicariously thru TET '23. He would have been 17 in '68, I went in the Army at 17 and in the field at 18, plus a lot of d***s were very young in the ranks in the VC.

According to Sheriff Luna, after leaving the scene in Monterey Park, the suspect targeted another dance club in the nearby Alhambra. However, two people in the party room managed to pull the gun from the suspect’s hand, forcing Huu Can Tran to flee the scene.

Police approach the pickup truck suspected of the perpetrator of the shooting in Monterey Park, California, USA on January 22. Video: ABC7.

“They saved so many lives, the situation could have been worse,” said police chief Luna, praising those who stopped the suspect at the Alhambra and calling them heroes.

The weapon that people took from the suspect in Alhambra was a 9 mm Cobray M11 submachine gun with a multi-round magazine. Local police rely on this gun to track down the suspect, but investigators are not sure if this is the gun that Huu Can Tran used in the Monterey Park shooting.

...

Huu Can Tran is considered one of the oldest shooting suspects in the US. The oldest public shooter in the country is James Wenneker von Brunn, who opened fire at the Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington in 2009 at the age of 88.

In June 2007, suspect James Hodgkinson, 66, opened fire on Republican congressmen at a baseball field in Virginia, injuring five people. Hodgkinson was killed by police in the ensuing gunfight.

Apparently not, though it might explain how it was taken from him at the Alhambra.
