Pure evil. You can see it in his eyes. He had probably planned this attacks for weeks, if not months or years.

Not unlike the other mass killers of late, there were probably signs that he would one day attack.

Its bcuz of the automatic fuel.system...need a new fueler pedal
that needs to be depressed or activated for every ten feet desired to move. Need 3 gallon gas tanks also. Seriously tho, If man was taking ssri meds for depression that needs to be looked into and result should enter into decision tree to use ssri meds all the time...

Was it a Self Driving Car?

Because of this incident I cannot in good conscience drive, or even sell my 64 Chevy to someone who MAY use it in an irresponsible manner. It has a 327 which should be classified as an ASSAULT ENGINE. So I am going to have it crushed and form a group, everytown for vehicle sense. I will petition Congress to enact SENSIBLE VEHICLE CONTROLS. Nobody needs a car with more then 4 cylinders or engines larger than 2 liters. (Better keep my mouth shut or they’ll get more stupid ideas)

I wonder if the drugs actually made the depression worse. Some of those antidepressants really can have the opposite intended effects on some folks. Exacerbate stuff. Sounds like he was getting worse even on the meds.

It’s the fully automatic transmission that makes the car MORE LETHAL.

It's got the primitive, but tried and true Powerglide. A popular option on the postwar Chryslers was Fluid Drive, which consisted of a clutch in front of a fluid coupling, basically a precursor to the Torqueflite. They were SEMI AUTOMATICS. 😁

I can’t remember

Was that a two speed or a three speed semi-automatic?

He was probably a tyrant at home. male family anialators tend to see their families as props they can use rather than beloved human beings.

Roger Self is father to Katelyn Self; and is father-in-law to Amanda Self, which suggests that the two women were “married”.

Sounds like a Selfish bunch.

My guess was way off. Sounds like the old boy had depression problems. Horrible thing.

FYI- Dallas, NC not Dallas, TX.

Mama has been following this mess on Local (Charlotte,NC) tv snooze. It appears that he has had MENTAL PROBLEMS for a while, Firearms removed from access by him- supposedly self induced. On Meds, Doctor (mental) visits, etc.

This was obviously premeditated. He should have never had access to any vehicle IMO. If he’s giving up Firearms the Keys should go also. Very messed up situation.

He Murdered his own Children for Gods Sake!!!! That is seriously F-ed up there!!!

All that said, Gaston and Gastonia are like a mini-Charlotte/Mecklenburg County- a wanna be worse than Chicago when it comes to Crime and things that should have never happened.

Rod Serling should introduce the Snooze Clips for the place...

I miss Schlotzky’s Sandwiches and the closest one is in Gastonia- I don’t miss them that much.

I’ll have to look but I’m fairly certain You have things crossed up with the Girls.

IIRC- one was Married and the other one was due to be in 2 weeks or so. And not to any other Women.

It had 3 speeds. Usually, you’d use the clutch to get it rolling and shift manually from 1st to 2nd, then it would shift into 3rd without clutching.

Apparently this restaurant didn't have a sign saying, "No Motor Vehicles Allowed in this Building."

No, the sign should have said "This restaurant is a motor vehicle-free zone"

Since we don’t know if he was even taking anything that is pure fiction

Well his defense attorney will have that angle lined up if true, I imagine.
