“Typically, when we see mass school shooters, they don’t just stop and walk away, right? Usually they keep going until they’re apprehended by police, shot dead, or they kill themselves,” said Duke. “And the other thing is if the police are telling Brown students that they are safe, they don’t have to shelter in place anymore, but they don’t have a suspect in custody, I think that also suggests that this was some kind of targeted attack.”

We'll see eventually once the public isn't "shielded" from thinking bad thoughts about the murderer

But I'll note that the other guy killed was an Uzbek Muslim

Of course, she was targeted. Just because IvoryBill, Roger, and others say otherwise.

If they cant kill Trump, they will settle for killing the majority that elected him.

It was DEFINITELY some kind of targeted attack. The question is who/what was the target?

My wild guess:
-the shooter was Mustapha Karbouch
-he was enrolled in the class
-the shooter yelled "Allahu Akbar" before opening fire...and the authorities know that
-he had some kind of mental break that caused him to want to be a martyr

I didn't say she wasn't targeted. I'm just asking that we try to sift through the data together, because I trust the PoliBoard more than I do MSM or law enforcement...BECAUSE this is an interactive forum.

I have put out data on both sides of the issue. If you want to engage in analysis, great. If not, that's fine also.

Please don't lie about what I have said, though.

Based on what we KNOW, my current thinking is:
-HIGH LEVEL OF CONFIDENCE: shooter targeted that class; shooter shouted "Allahu Akbar" before opening fire
-MEDIUM LEVEL OF CONFIDENCE: shooter was Mustapha Karbouch (goes up to HIGHEST LEVEL OF CONFIDENCE if he was enrolled in Econ0110)

I don't have an opinion yet on anything else because I haven't seen enough data.

The body size/type matches the video...for what that's worth.

Exactly.

The baws will not accept anything other than their pre-programmed outcome though. If the news isnt favorable, here come the conspiracies.

This isn’t “reporting.”

This is supposition based on information. That’s fine. But there’s really no new news in this “report.”

Is this what we’re calling Islamic extremism now, a mental break? More than likely he was indoctrinated vs some mental break

And you won’t accept it the other way around. If this is truly the shooter and it was an Islamic terrorist targeted attack, you’ll be gone like a fart in the wind. On to your next contrived outrage

Once Ella was announced as a victim a lot of people I generally like started insinuating a targeted attack. I don't know if they've heard things the general public hasn't or if they're just speculating. Probably the latter, which I don't think is particularly responsible.

I think there is a pretty good chance it's the guy discussed and it's got at least some overtures of a Palestinian inspired attack. I'd say that it's plausible it was that, and that he prioritized people he knew weren't down for the cause, but the other victim wouldn't really track with that.

My best guess is there is some political motive or at least an argument for it, but that the Ella part was just an awful coincidence.

I'm the one waiting for more information. You don't need any, you've already made up your mind.

Roger is many things

An apologist for Islamist/Palestinian terror isn't one of them

True.

I didn’t know that the family was told she was targeted. I thought that was interesting.

Halperin doesn’t know that either.

There are reports that the family said that. But they’re probably 3rd and 4th hand reports. The family hasn’t spoken to the media.

I didn't see that either until you mentioned it, although it's pretty vague "I've been told that they've been told" stuff.

Do we know if the other 11 were shot or were injured in terms of tripping over desks running away, etc.?
