Maybe so... He’s big, but apparently not tough, as he was restrained by the security guard and had his weapon seized to boot...

Corkins was found with 50 rounds of ammunition and 15 Chick-fil-A sandwiches.

Feeeeel the tolerance...

I think the shooting wasn’t his main plan. He probably adulterated the sandwiches and figured he’d drop them off as a “symbol of gratitude” from the local CFA. Then flee and wait for the shoe to fall. The guard stopping bin made him fall back to plan B.

A young guy probably doesn’t know about Vietnam war symbolism. Nor would 50 rounds get him far if he fired wildly.

I can see it now, The Dan White defense in the Harvey Milk Cas,. the first great “Twinkie Defense.” Corkins II must have spent time with Finestein’s people.

Maybe he was thinking of a hostage situation that would last a few hours and he was bringing his own food.

Just a guess, but I’m thinking that libtard nutjob may have intended on leaving those sandwches behind with his victims, similar to “death cards” used during the Vietnam War.
That makes a great deal of sense. Thank God for the heroic security guard.

You may be onto something.

I hope they check those sandwiches thoroughly.

He was planning to hand out the bullets and shoot the sandwiches, but the poor man got confused.

:: Anyone know why it didn’t come off? ::

I recall reading that when the guard stopped him, he “got his gat”. If the guard would have let him pass, he would have free to bring mayhem.

They are trying to figure out a way to make him look like the innocent victim that was pushed to the breaking point.

Oooo, nice one. We're getting good at thinking like MSM shhills... I'm impressed chessplayer. Laz wrote some copy yesterday - as if he was a MSM reporter - it was funny and on mark too...

haircutter - the thing about being 'baffled' was a joke. I was being sarcastic. That said, I like your defense... we're on the same side... the same team.

Was the sick bastard planning to lay chicken sandwiches on the bodies or something?

Yes. Or something like that.

This was a mass-shooting that was thwarted. Since it didn't turn out to be a bloodbath, the pop culture nitwit media isn't interested.

Moreover, the perp is not only left wing, but he's gayer than eight guys screwing nine guys. Making a villain out of a gay left wing would-be mass murderer is a double-plus ungood as far as the liberal media is concerned.

Therefore, no story here. It never happened.

If they charge him with a hate crime, it will be for buying the sandwiches.

Given that he was trying to pass himself off as an intern, my guess is that they were intended to bolster a story of having gone out on a food run, so he could get access to the higher-level types before he started shooting.

This wasn't some guy who happened to be packing heat and panicked -- he went there with murder on his mind.

Anyone else notice how much this cretin looks like Vincent D’Onofrio as Private Gomer Pyle in Kubrick’s “Full Metal Jacket”? Double creepy.
