Dimitrios Pagourtzis named as TX high school shooter.

[MoonRiver]

Another, Person of Interest, in custody.

[Tipperary]

1. Where did you hear this? Not on CNN yet that I have seen.

[MoonRiver]

2. MSNBC

I'm wondering about the nationality of his name. Certainly is out of place in South TX. Not that it necessarily means anything, but I'm curious.

[hatrack]

3. Sounds Greek, but not sure . .

.

[MoonRiver]

5. Yes it does. I was thinking Polish or Russian, but Greek sounds more likely.

Probably just another messed up kid with easy access to guns.

[MineralMan]

4. Greek, I think.

Could also be Cypriot.

[Tipperary]

10. Thanks, yes sounds Greek to me also.

[hatrack]

12. He seems nice . . . .

[Scurrilous]

44. LOL

[Downtown Hound]

16. Hmmm...United States Marine Corps and the Nazi Cross of Iron

I wonder what actual Marines fighting and dying by the thousands in WW2 would think of that?

[catsudon]

29. Wow

I’m amazed no one brings up full metal jacket reference in the entire thread yet.

[Downtown Hound]

33. I would love to see this little homicidal twerp get dressed down like this:

Just replace peace sign with Iron Cross.

[Decoy of Fenris]

24. Iron cross, Soviet star, Japanese (?) flag, Cthulhu pin, Pentagram, for those wondering.

I think the label on the right pocket is part of the original design.

[TimeSnowDemos]

36. I think

That Cthulhu pin might actually be a hydra one:

https://efxcollectibles.com/products/hydra-logo-lapel-pin

[Decoy of Fenris]

37. I thought that too, but cross-referenced to Cthulhu, as Hydra's pin isn't as ornate.

https://www.amazon.com/MemePinz-PS-00CT1-Pinsanity-Cthulhu-Lapel/dp/B018RMQV2S

[Cuthbert Allgood]

39. Yeah, totally HYDRA and not Cthulhu

[Decoy of Fenris]

43. Y'think? Because it's almost the exact pin I posted upthread, unless someone's ripping off content.

[Cuthbert Allgood]

46. You're probably right.

My first thought when I saw it was HYDRA. Not that Lovecraft doesn't make sense. Like his stories, but he was a racist prick.

[Decoy of Fenris]

50. All good, Allgood. n/t

[Cuthbert Allgood]

51. I see what you did there.

[Blue_Adept]

45. This is a Hydra pin

[Decoy of Fenris]

48. Think you could post an image of the Cthulhu pin I linked upthread? I'm bad at that sort of stuff.nt

[Blue_Adept]

53. Available on amazon

https://www.amazon.com/MemePinz-PS-00CT1-Pinsanity-Cthulhu-Lapel/dp/B018RMQV2S

[Decoy of Fenris]

54. Yup. Thank you very much. Confirmed as Cthulhu downthread as well. Much appreciated, friend. n/t

[Ilsa]

66. What does hydra represent? nt

[Blue_Adept]

73. It's a comic book thing

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydra_(comics)

Was made popular through the Marvel movies and Agents of SHIELD TV series.

[obamanut2012]

65. It isn't Hydra

[RandySF]

35. Do I see an Iron Cross?

[lunasun]

7. 17 yrs Old ...Can you buy a gun legally at that age in TX?

[MoonRiver]

8. No, but his parents could.

[lunasun]

21. I did not think so but I remember some states trying to actually lower the age of purchase

Unless it's stolen or he bought it hot , the gun is probably coming from the home .
Gun safes ?i I remember the Parkland shooter got the key. Nothing's working to stop this at schools
25%!of these shootings at schools with youth shooters
Now the % could be higher since I heard that statistic considering how 2018 has added more tragedies
I just got home and heard about this and i have school age kids . I am sick to my stomach how the parkland survivors who choose to be activists are treated and how many want them stopped but not the guns. Look at the moron who showed up with a gun and a flag at the shooting. These people will not budge to save young lives

[B2G]

27. Or a friend bought it for him.

Remember Columbine?

And they have an 18 YO in custody that CNN is reporting to be an accomplice.

[B2G]

13. No.

18 is the legal age. He's 17.

[lunasun]

25. Thanks very much see post 21 why I asked

[Nevernose]

62. No. His parents should be charge with 8 counts of murder

They were not “responsible gun owners.” Their carelessness got eight children murdered.

[Ilsa]

64. He "took" the gun from his father per press conference. nt

[Major Nikon]

67. His dad is a fan of wingnuts and the NRA

The suspect appears to have been a Trump fan

[panader0]

9. Is he one of the dead?

[MoonRiver]

11. He's in police custody, so we may learn a lot more about motive soon.

[Tipperary]

14. No, in custody.

[maryellen99]

15. Anybody else notice the Nazi Iron Cross on his jacket?

[Downtown Hound]

17. Yup.

[rusty fender]

18. It looks like he also has

a hammer and sickle pin. A commie nazi

[BannonsLiver]

30. A confused, homicidal dumbfuck is my read.

[Still In Wisconsin]

74. Thankfully confused homocidal dumbfucks don't have access to firearms.

Oh, wait...

[MoonRiver]

19. YIKES!

[Exotica]

22. Also the Hammer and Sickle Red Star and the Born to Kill shirt

and the peace symbol hat. He is a fucking nutter. All over the spectrum with symbols.

[Downtown Hound]

23. It doesn't matter what they stand for

What matters is they make him feel cool and edgy. Don't you know?

[lunasun]

31. Holy crap did he have specific targets ? There was a school shooting NM where all victims were

Hispanic but they never classified it as a hate crime even though that young shooters media had references . It does nt matter in the fact that a lot of young have lost their lives no matter it's a tragedy, but if this is the case it must be looked in to as a hate crime as well considering his clothing alone

[MoonRiver]

32. Yes, because he'll be charged for murder in TX. Feds would deal with hate crimes, I think.

They need to make sure he's never free to kill again.

[Crabby Appleton]

71. That's not the nazi version

of the iron cross, it's the pre-nazi version used before the nazi era. The nazi version the ribbon is different with a broad red stripe in the middle.

[milestogo]

20. MAGA

Male American Gun Adorer

[calimary]

57. Ouch.

Fits. Makes it more painful.

[EffieBlack]

26. That sound you hear is the sound of people of color and Muslims everywhere breathing a sigh of relie

And now let's bring out the mental health experts to discuss how the system failed this misguided young man whose mental health issues made him feel he had no choice but to shoot up a school.

[NatBurner]

34. i've already seen the "bullied" balloon being floated

poor fella

[BannonsLiver]

41. What dipshit floated that canard?

[mcar]

42. Yes, just another poor, mentally ill white boy

Who probably played video games. Nothing to see here...

[IronLionZion]

60. No relief from this POC

School shootings and mass shootings are a problem. Easy access to guns is a problem. The fact these are always white males is a problem.

But it's a myth to think we're relieved to find out it's another angry white male. That doesn't stop the racism against POC or Muslims (or Muslim-colored). It just guarantees that there won't be any changes to gun laws.

If it were a black person, more police. If it were Muslim, travel ban. If Latino, build the wall. If white guy, thoughts and prayers.

[Wellstone ruled]

28. Wafen???

Sure smelling that way.

[lunasun]

38. Just saw this Knights Templar crap too...Cthulhu

?quality=65&strip=all&w=318&strip=all

[Cuthbert Allgood]

40. I'm wrong--not HYDRA

[lunasun]

47. Hey he called em not me . This is not looking good for trump now I understand his tweet

[Cuthbert Allgood]

49. Edited my post while you were responding.

I'm shocked he's a Trump fan.

[maryellen99]

52. I'm sure we won't be hearing from trump anymore about this shooting

Now it’s coming out that he and most likely his parents were racist trump supporters.

[B2G]

58. Link? nt

[maryellen99]

61. Here you go

Dad was a fan of Dana Loesch on his personal FB
https://www.rawstory.com/2018/05/father-alleged-santa-fe-shooter-fan-nra-spokesperson-dana-loesch-personal-facebook-page-report/

Shooter had a Nazi Iron Cross on his jacket.
https://www.rawstory.com/2018/05/dimitrios-pagourtzis-identified-santa-fe-high-school-shooting-suspect-cbs-news/

Plus the shooter followed trump,melania,ivanka and the WH on IG.

Pretty sure if you are a fan of Dana Loesch,you’re also a trump supporter.

[B2G]

68. I saw the cross.

The Twitter account you referenced is bogus.

[maryellen99]

69. No that's IG

[B2G]

72. With only 4 posts and 3 followers?

I'm not at all convinced it's real.

[maryellen99]

55. Is that twitter or IG?

[lunasun]

56. Ig scrubbed now he is a Hillary lover on a fake fb

[Blue_Tires]

63. Yeah, REAL fucking brave to gun down a bunch of unarmed innocents

Give yourself another medal, asshole...

[IronLionZion]

59. Is he from Syria or Mexico?

[Blue_Tires]

70. And as expected dozens of fake facebook profiles have sprung up

Last edited Fri May 18, 2018, 04:17 PM - Edit history (1)

Making him everything from a Hillary supporter to Antifa to an MS-13 gang member...

Facebook's people are deleting them but more and more keep popping up...
