    Increasingly clear that this man, protected by his whiteness, was allowed to commit crimes everywhere, from The White House to a local grocery store, and suffer no real consequence Had he been stopped on Wednesday he wouldn't have killed 4 peoplehttps://twitter.com/ShaunKing/status/988448780247855104 …

    A young mother in Nashville just told me that she had an incident with the Waffle House shooter this past Wednesday in a nearby @Publix grocery store. Said he was yelling racial slurs. Said the store did absolutely nothing and let him threaten people. We need answers. pic.twitter.com/jIN7xvfhEW

        The father who gave him the AR-15 back should be in a cell next to him.

        Along with the feds who gave the seized weapons to his dad. This was absolutely preventable.

        Yes, but the law doesn't allow the Feds to confiscate guns because the NRA has bought and paid for the lawmakers.

        Can you explain that to me? I don't really understand if the guns belonged to the waffle house shooter, why weren't they removed from his house all together? I don't get why they were given to his father, unless they maybe belonged to the dad first.

        It seems to me that the logical thing would have been completely taking away his guns so that he could never get access to them again

        Totally agree, but we are talking, logic, and guns in America, idk what it's going to take for common sense to prevail when it comes to guns in America

        True. I just wish common sense would be applied tho. So much could be avoided if we start using preventative measures.

        Contrast this with 2 black men quietly sitting inside a Starbucks, who then get arrested.

        Police just reported he stole a car on Tuesday. They broke off pursuit and picked up the car at his apartment without an arrest.
