    My first thought, when reading your post, was: "When the cat's away the mice will play." I seriously doubt Musk is involved in the day to day operations of Twitter. Nor that he's given reports of every tweet removed because of still existing rules. If it was a tweet that was not a violation the person has a right to appeal it. I doubt Musk acts as the final arbitrator of such disputes. Bottom line, Musk may have outlined the direction of his goals, but there will always be remnants of the former management team still having influence.

    I didn't say they did but I said I would put nothing past them.

    So you believe MK ultra was nothing but a conspiracy theory? I just want you to say yes or no for that one

    I can’t say if they did or not. The pics I saw appeared to be in a courtyard. Not everyone in the state is armed.

    according to this https://wisevoter.com/state-rankings/gun-ownership-by-state/ almost 36% own weapons. How many of those are carrying every day is unknown, but it would have been nice if someone was when that murder spree started.

    "The suspected gunman in Saturday’s shooting at a Dallas-area outlet mall that left eight people dead and a half-dozen more wounded was identified Sunday as Mauricio Garcia, two senior law enforcement officials told NBC News.
    Garcia, 33, was also killed after the outbreak of violence at Allen Premium Outlets. Allen Police Chief Brian Harvey said the suspect was “neutralized” by a city police officer who was responding to an unrelated call at the mall.
    One of the senior law enforcement officials said that Garcia had a tactical vest and was armed with a rifle of some kind as well as a handgun. More weapons and ammunition were found in his car, the source said."

    He went there to KILL as many people as he could. Their ages made no difference to him. That's a whole lot of anger.

    A second source below, said Garcia, a security guard, had been living in a motel.

    Even NPR and Wikipedia do not deny the existence of MK ultra. The government that does things like this can never be trusted to not continue doing things like this.

    That would be an absurd claim for anyone to make, but sadly to be expected from you.

    Former Army officer and witness to Texas mall shooting who calls himself a 'gun lover' says mental health isn't the problem: 'We need more gun control'

    • Former Army officer who rushed to scene of mass shooting in Allen, Texas says US needs gun control.

    • Steven Spainhouer said he's a "gun lover" but that "this is going to keep happening" without stricter laws.

    • He added that it was a gun, not mental health issues, that "killed these people."

    While I can't believe that, after investing all that money into the company, Musk doesn't intervene in decisions, whenever he sees fit; nevertheless, I must concede that yours is a fair point, that it is certainly possible, this tweet had been deleted because of its graphic nature, and that Musk may not have been, the least bit, involved.

    that fudd is a clown, a murderer did this. Normal people do not murder each other, mental health problems cause these things. Steven the fudd is complete moron, and his advice means nothing.

    The shooter’s name is Mauricio Garcia and the Washington post is already calling him a white supremacist.
    ……………
    The gunman who killed eight people and injured seven others before being shot dead by police at a Texas outlet mall has been identified as Mauricio Garcia, 33, several news outlets reported Sunday.

    A Dallas home linked to Garcia’s parents was searched by police Saturday night following the massacre outside the Allen Premium Outlets, and officials also probed a motel where the suspected shooter had booked an extended stay, law enforcement sources told local outlet WFAA-TV.

    Garcia did not have a serious criminal history and was working as a security guard, though its unclear where, CBS News reported.

    Officials are also investigating any possible ties between the suspect and radical beliefs after he was found wearing a patch on his chest that suggested white supremacist or neo-Nazi leanings, according to the Washington Post.

    Why are the pro forma "prayers" of permissive firearm policy proponents so impotent?

    Those who facilitate the killers constantly exhibit horrific aim with their ineffectual divine entreaties.


    ‘Spare us your prayers’: Ted Cruz faces backlash after Texas mall shooting kills eight
    Texas US senator Ted Cruz’s comment Saturday that he was “praying” for families of the eight victims killed in a shooting at a shopping mall in his state has sparked outrage as many critics say the Republican should advocate for meaningful gun control rather than repeatedly invoke prayer after mass, deadly violence.

    Cruz and other fellow Texas Republicans have faced similar backlash for citing general emotional support, thoughts, prayers, or a combination thereof after the slayings in Allen, Texas, on Saturday.

    “Heidi and I are praying for the families of the victims of the horrific mall shooting in Allen, Texas.
    We pray also for the broader Collin county community that’s in shock from this tragedy.”

    Shannon Watts, founder of gun safety group Moms Demand Action, said on Twitter: “YOU helped arm him with guns, ammo and tactical gear. He did exactly what you knew he’d do. Spare us your prayers and talk of justice for a gunman who is … dead”...

    Star Trek actor George Takei added: “You’re worse than useless.”

    Another Twitter user said thoughts and prayers “are nothing but blasphemy and evil”. Yet another quipped: “Have you tried turning the prayer machine off and back on again.”

    I just read that drug overdoses exceeded deaths from guns AND autos.

    You're right about the price of living in a free society where we can come and go or even move to gun free countries if we are afraid of guns.

    Thanks,

    Do you really think that the government or even your local police are going to be there during your home invasion or mugging?

    I hope you never have to deal with it if it happens but I didn't want to deal with criminals either.
