Police are asking for the public's help in finding suspect 29-year-old Travis Reinking of Morton, Illinois.
Authorities said the gunman arrived in a vehicle registered to Reinking, though he walked away from the restaurant naked.
The melee started around 3:23 a.m. (4:23 a.m. ET) in Antioch, southeast of Nashville. After sitting in the truck for a few minutes, the gunman came out wielding an "assault-type rifle" and fatally shot two people outside the Waffle House, police said.
"He then went inside the restaurant (and) continued firing," Aaron said.
The carnage stopped only because of the heroics of a customer who heard the gunshots and hid near the restaurant's bathrooms.
Police said the customer monitored the gunman's moves from afar and jumped into action when he saw an opportunity.
"He saw the gunman looking at his rifle. At that point, the shots had stopped. So he decided to rush the gunman, actually wrestled that assault rifle away, tossed it over the counter. At that point, the gunman then fled," Aaron said.
Wait, so this bad guy with a gun was stopped by a good guy WITHOUT a gun?
And this happened in the NRA's America?
Well that's going to confuse some people.
On a more serious note, this is yet ANOTHER mass shooting carried out with this country's favorite go to weapon for mass shootings.
And STILL nobody is doing anything definitive to stop all of this.
How many more Americans must die before it is finally enough?
If this were a disease we would be inundated with fundraising emails to stop it.
There would be telethons for fuck's sake!
But for this epidemic all we typically get are excuses from the Ammosexuals and politicians telling us it is still too early to talk about new gun laws.
Thoughts and prayers😴

Repeal and Replace the 2nd amendment. The way it is written 200yrs ago does not apply today. The founders did not mean bare arms to murder innocent citizens with assault weapons without war on usa soil.
ReplyDeleteBut the way the current Republican party has acted and behaved like treason soaked DICKtaters it could aid and apply to Americans removing them from our buildings today. Join March for Our Life and Remove Traitors from Our Buildings.
We can't ever have any serious debate about gun control until we start getting rid of the GOP Congress members and senators. Rafael "Ted" Cruz would be a good place to start, since he gets the most $ from the NRA, and has an A+ rating from that organization. I'm going to send a contribution to his Democratic opponent, Beto O'Rourke
DeleteAgreed, 11:32 AM< but it will be a cold day in hockey sticks before I send any candidate money. You want office? Pay for it yourself.
DeleteNext you’ll hear about Waffle House suing the dead for not paying their check before they left in a body bag
ReplyDeleteThe Waffle House family is devastated over the news.
DeletePat Warner, director of public relations and external affairs for Waffle House, called it a "very troubling" situation.
"We are sending our corporate team from Atlanta and heading to Nashville now," Warner said. "Our thoughts are with those affected."
"We are deeply saddened by this tragic incident," Waffle House said later in a statement. "Right now, our first thoughts are with the victims and their families, and we will be there for them in this most difficult time. We are still gathering the details, and so we do not have much information to share ... This is a very sad day for the Waffle House family."

So in Afganistan, Afgans cueing to obtain voting IDS are killed and maimed while in America the Trump-supporting gunmen just shoot anybody as a way to eliminate voters, period. Hope the American gunmen don't learn about line-ups for IDS...
ReplyDeleteLike every post Gryph does of these. Your point was what, exactly, Reinking? What did the Waffle House do? Not serve syrup last visit?
ReplyDeleteThese are the gun nuts. Leave your weapons out where innocent young children can have access, point, and shoot. Even in cars, I'll just crawl out of the backseat...watch THIS. it is stupidity.
You know, like those who stockpile weapons and have their pictures taken with them. Look at me, I'm such a badass, pose their children with them.
Oh YES, you're all that and MORE.
10:02. Think I saw your other post where you are questioning G's post as not being clear?
DeleteI think you are have a bug up your' ass and just for your blood pressure stay off this blog.
It's more irritating to read your post than reading one from a troll or bot.
Have a good day. Go outside and take in mother nature.
Not me! Reading comprehension is good, maybe not in your skill set? See first paragraph. Gryph calls out every last senseless shooting and more power to him.
DeleteIt appears to be a crime of convenience, as the gunman lives next door in an apartment complex (after moving here from Illinois).
Delete"Well that's going to confuse some people."
DeleteFB>"Police told CNN the gunman shed his jacket before fleeing on foot. It was unclear if he had another weapon. Local media reported a second shooting nearby might be connected to the Waffle House incident.
ReplyDeletePolice cautioned that the man is to be considered still armed and extremely dangerous.
The man who disarmed the shooter suffered non-life-threatening wounds, including an injured elbow, police said, and some patrons suffered facial wounds from shattered glass." "The gunman, who was naked but for a green jacket, shot and killed two people in the parking lot of the restaurant in Antioch, a section of southeast Nashville, shortly before 3:30 a.m. (0830 GMT).
He then entered the restaurant and opened fire, police said, killing one patron and wounding another, who later died."
AR-style rifles are not the favorite weapon of mass killings or any killings in the US. By far the favorite weapon are handguns.
ReplyDeleteYou're missing the keywords 'semi automatic' in your declaration.
DeleteOff Topic. Can you believe mike pences brother is running for office? And then I was curious about the 5 listed Barbara bush children. I have not read much about each of them. Marvin Bush? there are quite the stories related to 911 and ties to him. Lots of hush hush about it. Read up!! I have always heard 911 was tied to the bush family. Micheal Moore touched on it some in Fahrenheit 911 too. But the articles related to the brother and 911 is alarming.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah. Marvin was in charge of security for the Twin Towers. As such, they were able to wire it with the explosives needed to take them down in a controlled demolition. Read about how systematically floors of the tower were closed for "security system wiring" in the year leading up to 2001, especially the summer before. Wake the fuckity fuck up peeps. All the info is out there, but no one pays a damn bit of attention.
DeleteOne of them was involved in a for-profit educorporation that provided test materials, scoring, etc. Hence the push for No Child Left Behind. Georgie had his own pay to play going on, funneling tax dollars to his own families pockets.
DeleteWe have internet now but in those day many people did not use it like today. This story was buried and you must dig to get to the story connecting facts. And of course republicans did not want the public to read it. It got lost but old rudy was there and GW was there and chaney smirked and once again Americans were harmed at the hands of paid servants.
DeleteWhy I didn't watch Bab's funeral.
DeleteThis guy was an angry person with a grudge. May he be caught and held accountable. That's the only thing that will come of this. Meanwhile we chock this up to the list of dead Americans killed by an American. How we hate ourselves.
ReplyDeleteJails overcrowded. Yes indeed.
DeleteThe gun nuts will be more outraged by the fact that the gunman walked away naked. Someone might notice his tiny penis and wonder if there’s a pattern...
ReplyDeleteWell talk about the race tables turning! Crazy naked white guy.
ReplyDeleteHomie takes down naked white guy! So much for blaming the homies!
Hey. He is a good homie! Smile!
Back when i had a FB account, i was suspended for posting a meme that wanted to halt all gun sales to white guys until we figure out what's going on...

Unlawful imprisonment. The reason Reagan did that. $$$
DeleteReagan found out "when your worth a lot of money, people will say and do anything to keep it". I think it was meant to screen out families railroading Gramps & his money kind of situation.

DeleteHow is Alaska's infamous 420 birthday boy? Did Mom give him the same birthday greetings as she does for Trig and the children she birthed?
ReplyDeleteI can't hear about an AR-15, etc and not think of the greatest promoters, the Palins, and their protection of Track Palin to keep his stash. They can't have him lose his most valued possessions.
The AR-15 white bad boy in Tn may have family that gave him back guns that were to be taken away from him. There will be more later. It sure sounds like he may have family and friends like the Palins.
What will Alaska do about their AR-15 white bad boy? More court postponements? Can they make sure the media has no interest and will not be near court when Alaska's infamous AR-15 boy shows up? Big IF, if he is able to show up.
C'mon, $arah, I was just so gosh darned busy fielding calls from my cell phone, important person that I am, I totally forgot it was my firstborn's birthday!
DeleteGive 'em hell, Track, I'll keep postponing until I can pay a judge to get you off.

ReplyDeleteWho sent him is my question.
DeleteThe shooter moved from Illinois to Tennessee. One reason could be because of Tennessee's lax gun laws, since his had been forfeited in Illinois due to his White Trash House stunt.

Facts on the Waffle House Shooter's Family:
ReplyDeleteAmong other things...
'Reinking’s Dad Allegedly Returned Guns to Travis Reinking After Reinking Claimed to be a ‘Sovereign Citizen’...'
-It is by now known that he tried to get onto the White House property without proper clearance and was arrested. Here's another detail about the incident:
'He was told how to obtain a tour. He stated again that he “wanted to speak to the President and said he was a sovereign citizen and has a right to inspect the grounds.” '(These SC jackazzes just think they can run by their own rules, don't they?)
' Reinking’s Mother Shared Posts on School Shootings, Home Schooling & Christianity'
-She had a post on social media that stated that school shootings were related to taking prayer and Christianity out of the public schools:
'On social media, Judy Reinking periodically weighed in on topics in the news, including school shootings, Common Core, and home schooling. She wrote a lot about family too, and she threaded Christian references throughout her page.
In 2016, she shared a graphic that read, “When you carry a bible, the devil gets a headache. When you open it, he collapses. When he sees you reading it, he faints. When he sees you living it, he flees…”
In 2015, she shared a graphic on school shootings. It reads: “I don’t remember a single school shooting when I was a kid. What I do remember is our teacher having us begin the day reciting the pledge of allegiance, reading from the Bible and praying. We also had the Ten Commandments on the wall. Maybe getting rid of those things wasn’t such a good idea after all!”'

Oh come ON. I was raised going to public school in somewhat small town. We said the Pledge Of Allegiance but no bible readings nor Ten Commandments. We are talking the 1960s.
DeleteHey, MOM, if you're living by your godly principles, why did your son open fire? "I need help and I wanted someone to listen to me."
Gosh, I didn't realize Satan frequented the Waffle House! They must make some Killer pancakes.
ReplyDeleteSo does the Denny's Happy Valley area Portland OR when a man walked in, poured gas on an unsuspecting patron and lit him on fire.
DeleteI'm 2:49 and here's more info on the Sovereign Citizen's connection to this killer:
ReplyDelete'The alleged Waffle House shooter had declared himself to be part of the rightwing extremist “sovereign citizen” movement, according to USA Today.
Travis Reinking, 29, is believed to have been the shooter who killed four at a 24-hour diner outside Nashville. Reinking had been arrested outside the White House last year and had his guns taken away because he is mentally ill, according to reports.
At the White House, Reinking had declared himself a “sovereign citizen” who is not required to follow the nation’s laws.'

Yup. Someone sent him.
DeleteNo wonder the NRA and Fascist Right are silent.
ReplyDeleteThe Wafflehouse Hero was not only unarmed but he was African American.
They’ll probably want to lynch him for taking a gun away from a white man.
