GILROY, Calif. (Reuters) - Police continued on Tuesday to look into what motivated a teenager to shoot visitors attending a popular California food festival over the weekend, killing three people, including a 6-year-old boy and 13-year-old girl.Santino William Legan, 19, cut through a fence at the Gilroy Garlic Festival on Sunday and shot people, seemingly at random, with an assault-style rifle, according to the Gilroy police department. Police officers on the scene fatally shot the gunman within about a minute of him opening fire. Police had obtained search warrants for a home in Gilroy associated with the suspect and a car they believe he drove to the festival, a decades-old annual event celebrating the produce farmed in the countryside south of San Jose.

I'd also--crazy as it sounds!--consider the possibility of the whole thing being a false flag event.

So apparently he hated Whites and Latinos, shot Whites and Latinos and authorities are baffled as to motive.

Nah - gotta look at the negative space.

If he was a Trump supporter that’d already be out there.

They’re trying the white supremacist angle but it’s not that either because his writings (as few as I’ve actually seen) were, like the shooter in New Zealand, inarguably leftist. So they won’t point that out either.

He’s antifa and anti trump - so the answer is “we just don’t know”

“...gotta look at the negative space.”

Exactly. What’s not being reported speaks volumes.

JIHAD. Plain & simple.
After the carnage, the shooter’s family always speaks of his ‘mental problems’. Yeah.....Okay.

You're kidding, right?

They can find a way to hook him to Trump-hate if they want to, even if they have to flat-out lie to do it. They've done it before.

The only reason they'll not do it is if focus-group results indicate that Joe Average won't buy it.

Allah snackbar— dead men tell no motive— so look at all the kin.. and the relationships... including SHIITE mullahs and Iranian interest californication types.

There are MANY Iranians with Italian last names... originally from IRAN. There are current Iranian AirForce officers with Italian last names who are.... generations back patronymic heritage Italian fathers/Iranian mothers genealogy. And would say-- EXCELLENT choices for the desperate deep state to use for false flag-- if nothing else the number one Step in revolt against our Country-- seizure of firearms, and keeping the "issue" alive. Idiot lefties, and violent.

I can't believe I haven't seen this before. Maxine Waters wants to get a handle on these " loan killers":

"This is getting more frequent. And I know that we have privacy concerns, and information sharing, and all of that. But I'm wondering, what can we do to get a handle or fix on these lone killers? And not simply just say we -- we throw our hands up, and we can't really do anything because of privacy concerns. And I'm wondering, particularly in our financial institutions and banks, et cetera, if questionnaires that does not invade privacy, but simply ask questions about what the intentions are for the use of certain money under certain circumstances, and those people can say whatever they want to, and they can respond in whatever they -- way they want to. But if resources are used to go out and commit killings, et cetera, they will have lied on the questionnaire, and perhaps that can trigger some kind of actions to begin to prevent this kind of domestic terrorism. I think we should focus a lot on domestic terrorism also. So I would like to ask again, given all that you have said about how difficult it is and the privacy concerns, do you have any thoughts about what we can do to begin to deal with the KKK, the white nationalists, the - the extremists, the Alt-Right?".

Why is it that garlic only works on vampires. Oh, in a perfect world, garlic could be used to ward-off liberals and their ilk.
