Default Shooting in killeen, TX Mall outside of Ft. Hood.

For those of you who never had the pleasure of going to Ft. Hood or being stationed there, let me fill you in on a few things.

1) Ft. Hood is nicknamed "The Great Place."
2) Ft. Hood is actually a shit hole and Killeen (city just east of the post) is a shit hole, too.

This shooting doesn't surprise me. Hell, the Luby's shooting, the mudslime who shot up the SRP Center there on post in Nov 2009 a few months after I got back from Shit-hole-istan, all the soldiers who got lost in training areas and ended up dead, and all those murdered soldiers prove my point the place is a shit hole. There is literally nothing to do but go to work and drink unless you travel at least an hour outside of the city either east towards Waco or south towards Austin.

I will also tell you that Ft. Hood itself has a gang problem within the ranks of the soldiers. I know first hand because I had to get rid of two soldirrs running the gang and drug ring out of my motor pool (should be out of prison by now, too).

Anywho.... read the article. Notice how they give the description of the shooter this time? Notice how the description is never given in a situation where we "...would like to solve the puzzle, Pat?"

Texas police searching for suspect after active shooter situation at Killeen Mall

Victim shot multiple times at Killeen Mall reportedly stable

Texas police are hunting for a suspect after an active shooter situation at a mall left one person wounded and forced patrons to shelter in place for hours.

Officers responded to a call about a "shots disturbance" inside the Killeen Mall at approximately 7:17 p.m., which was then upgraded to an active shooter situation, police said. The city of Killeen is located near Fort Hood military base and about 73 miles north of Austin.

CHICAGO MAN SHOT DEAD IN SUSPECTED RANDOM ATTACK OUTSIDE CHINATOWN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN BROAD DAYLIGHT

Police located one victim who was shot multiple times, Killeen Police Chief Charles Kimble told reporters at the scene. He said the victim was airlifted to a local hospital and was reportedly in stable condition.
The suspect was described as a White male, about 6 feet tall, and wearing a white beanie cap, white face mask and dark clothing.

An hour after police first responded, police said they were still working on getting patrons who were sheltering in place out of the mall to safety.

"We have received phone calls from employees and patrons at the mall who are sheltering in place and we are systematically escorting them out safely," Kimble said.

Around 11 p.m. police said the entire mall had been evacuated, KWTX-TV reported.
Police said the investigation into the shooting is in the preliminary stages and asked the public to come forward with any information about the suspect or the incident.

That pissed off the entire post when he said that. I remember being told I had to go sit in the crowd for his speech had flew in to give after that happened. No ****ing way and I flat out refused. He ****ed up all vehicular and air traffic for the day just to do political grand standing and insult the families of the murdered by calling it work place violence. Right then and there he was upgraded from "eat a dick" status to "eat a bag of dicks" status.

Sister was stationed there for many years and I visited... She lived in Kileen also. She got out of there quick as could. We had somebody try break into cars at hotel 1st visit down. Two soldiers go figure.

Good order & Discipline was apparently a short lived phenomenon after the Vietnam military reset? I remember being stationed at Ft Bragg and the local town being called Fayettenam but seems this trend got a big push during the Bush admin's middle east wars.

"Waiver for Serious and Violent Crimes Do Happen"

Sometimes, the military will grant waivers for more serious crimes, such as assault, burglary and drug possession. The Army and the Marine Corps did this back in 2008 with the Army granting 511 felony waivers, which was up by nearly double from the year before. The Marines also offered 350 waivers."

https://usmilitary.com/military-recr...-the-military/

Nothing like filling the ranks of our military with violent criminals and teaching them how to be more violent.

Got an email today for a very good friend that lost his life to the nonsense.

Sad that so many good people have lost everything to this political and monetary evil.

Ft. Hood is also where a female soldier from Houston was killed ON BASE by another soldier, which highlighted an apparently fairly common problem of female soldiers being sexually assaulted by their male counterparts.

https://nypost.com/2021/04/30/vaness...e-murder-army/

I don't know how accurate or fair the coverage was, but our local news media made Ft. Hood out to be a particularly problematic place....something wrong particularly with THAT base, vs. bases of similar size like Ft. Bliss. Again, I don't know how true that is, the MSM always has an agenda.

Story time: Decades ago, before 9/11 civilians were allowed to access the base. My friend and I went, and the guidance we got was, avoid certain roads, because we wouldn't want to get caught in live fire exercises. And several years AFTER 9/11, I was allowed on Ft. Bliss, to tour their military museum on base. They just asked for a DL and proof of insurance to drive on base, then they directed me to the museum, but I could have gone anywhere, I guess, since there was no escort or monitoring.

It was accurate for this case, but in reality, a lot of the sexual assaults are male on male in the infantry units. Well, they were when I was stationed there.

Not a shred of information about the situation. Perhaps the "the victim" (not described) was shot by his intended victim.
