    Prayers to the victims. Hopefully they catch the shooter soon.

    Absolutely horrible. This kind of stuff is so senseless it would be sad even without the loss and pain caused by deaths and injuries.

    Looks like another black power political type. Similar to the guy who shot up the Dallas cops last year.

    Edit: deleted.

    Merely suggested some decorum, but had not fully read the initial articles on the suspect.

    At least I provided the usual BBS suspect an opportunity for another ad-hom internet touchdown dance amid tragedy. "Know your place." Indeed, yes, my place is right in this country, America.

    Whoa, a little defensive, are we? It's on the front page of the Dallas Morning News website. Sorry, I know, not what the NoCal hippie crew wants to hear, but it's pretty childish of you to accuse me of scoring political points in the hangout, where politics are discouraged. Next time do your homework, and not be so lazy.

    Links are always appreciated. From the article:

    Officers on the scene were told that "it was just a simple dispute between two neighbors that escalated into a shooting," Pughes said.

    Odd way for you to describe way the police are describing as:
    http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/dallas-police-firefighter-shot-transferred-hospital-47134434

    Apparently you and other political trolls were focusing on past statements attributed to the shooter...
    https://www.dallasnews.com/news/cri...er-reported-shot-old-east-dallas-gunman-large

    Perhaps you should wait and learn all the facts before projecting your own political thinking on a horrible crime like this. And if you intend to project your political thinking, there is a more appropriate forum for that.

    He did shoot first responders and has had multiple encounters with law enforcement. Even though it started as a dispute with a neighbor, there was no need for him to shoot at emergency responders unless he had a bone to pick with them, which isn't a far leap considering his past.
