A hatchet-wielding man, armed with what turned out to be a pellet gun, attacked a movie patron at a theater outside of Nashville Wednesday and sprayed others with pepper spray before he was shot dead by police, authorities said.
The suspect was identified by police as 29-year-old Vincente David Montano, most recently of Nashville. He was shot dead by SWAT officers as he exited the theater's rear door, police said.
What does that story have to do with "shooting into a crowd?"
(CNN)The man who was killed Wednesday by Nashville police after he allegedly went after moviegoers with a hatchet and pepper spray had been committed to a mental institution four times, police spokesman Don Aaron told reporters.
Vincente David Montano was committed twice in 2004 and twice in 2007, said Aaron, citing officials in Rutherford County. Montano had been arrested Murfreesboro, Tennessee, in 2004 in a case of assault and resisting arrest, police said.
"We have no motive for (Wednesday's attack)," Aaron said.
Montano had an airsoft pistol with him that he aimed and fired at police in the theater, Aaron said. Such a weapon looks like a semiautomatic pistol but fires plastic or BB pellets.
Ground Rules for USA mass killings:
If you are Black, you will be shot by police before you can kill anyone.
If you are Brown, you are a Terrorist.
If you are White, you are mentally ill.
I'll just bump this whenever it happens.

Really?
Are you going to be checking the Chicago Sun Times every day, or would that be racist?

But damn it! They have a consensus, so it is a settled issue!
Ban all guns so that shooters can have more opportunity to do their cowardly deed!

Make every home and public place in America a GUN FREE ZONE!
If any of this is directed at me, know that I am only speaking to national news and local news. And of course it has a slant and we do not know everything. There are trends that at the very least are disturbing. Why does the media never suggest that a black shooter is mentally ill?
Oh, I'm pro gun and obtaining my CCW, so there's no need to make that assumption. I'm opposed to illegal gun ownership, and fully aware that gun control laws don't deter criminals.
Actually, gun control laws do deter gun crime.
The Usa has the weakest gun control and highest gun crime of any developed nation.
The USA is a death cult republic posing as a free democracy.
Then explain why the municipalities and states with the strictest laws against gun ownership and use are the ones where gun violence spikes...
I would prefer you explain it, thanks.
One day, after all your public venues have metal detectors and trigger-happy armed security with Grade 9 educations and you start whining about the loss of your Freedom, you'll realize you turned your society into a third world dictatorship...in return for gun ownership for all.
But I doubt it.

So shoot me!
That's your answer for everything.
