Damn. I'm out of town and I'm just hearing about this. I turned the TV on this morning and it was on CNN.

Prayers to everyone in Lafayette, and especially those of you who know one of the victims.

1/8/73. Mark Essex was the shooter and had 200 GSW in his body. I'm surprised he had a body left.

The dialogue about mental illness is they need to be locked up like they were in the 70s and earlier, but there's no political will for either side. So it will become like it aleays does a damn fool gun debate.

This world is so fricked up and only getting worse! These daily occurrence is unbelievable. I am 49 and back when we were young you never rarely ever seen anything like this happening. Now it is happening weekly.

People get lulled into security due to the exceedingly high standard of living we enjoy. The world is a violent, uncaring place. But that still does not change the fact that we currently live in the safest time period in human history.

When you were young these things were still happening all across the world, you just never knew about it. Information is more easily attainable today than ever.

I got up this morning for work and specifically dug through my clothes to find this Parish Ink shirt, not yet even knowing any victims names, it seemed right and appropriate for the day to show some Louisiana pride. Upon hearing of her passing a little earlier I started crying in my office. Their store is amazing, and they always seemed like great people.

from the comments section...

believe he was an undercover operative for gun convisgation causes. A "drifter" cannot afford a LINCOLN. THIS MAN WAS A SECRET AGENT. HE WAS on a mission with a committment to to commit suicide rather than be exposed. Don't believe the media. TEA PARTY NAME associated with this MURDERER is OUTRAGEOUS! THIS IS PROPAGANDA.


apparently the shooter isn't the only batshit crazy person

It's so infuriating. These families are completely destroyed because of one lunatic. And in Lafayette, no less.

not it isn't. not even remotely close. the dialogue about mental illness is that it's completely underfunded and the access to resources are sparse. even if you wanted to "lock them up," where are you doing to do that? in another understaffed hospital?

What I'm saying. It's like apples to oranges. In other news 5 people were murdered in Nola since last Friday.

Not only was he insane, but he was a pathetic excuse of a man. Should we refer to him as a terrorist, although he's not?


Do we need to pull a billboard out and plaster it on it? No one is saying anything is ok here. In fact it's the complete opposite.



Bringing up these racial and political agendas over and over are ridiculous.

Didn't they say it was a 1995 or something? Only ballers could afford a 20 year old Lincoln.

oes that make it any better? it's important to open dialogue about mental illness, but calling people "lunatics" solves nothing. it certainly doesn't help the families.


A lot of people are going to ask "why" this happened to their friends and families. After tragedies like this, people seek answers even when information is very scarce.

As in a lot of other cases, there won't be a logical reason. He likely wasn't targeting a specific person or persons. He clearly has some kind of paranoia issues, and his social media posts don't make any sense. It's likely we won't know why this madman made the choice to target that movie theater.
