WA: Cascade Mall shooting

[Bolton Strid]

Found some stuff off of Facebook, but can't post it here due to language; seems the dude had a thing about being a pervert towards girls while he was in high school, always grabbing them (very) inappropriately, talking trash to them, being a real idiot. Some of his former victims posted some very colorful commentary about that.

Seems certain cultures do not adapt well to American society.

Even legal immigrants should be subject to immediate deportation once they become repeat criminals, especially violent behavior.

They say he looks Hispanic. To me, shooter looks middle eastern from pics.

Today's news indicates he is a Turkish immigrant with American citizenship. He may not be a muslim but I'll bet hes not a Methodist or a Baptist.

He’s also a Hillary Clinton fan.

Not a citizen, but legally in the US.

Woman was assaulted (kicked in the face) for wearing shorts on a bus in Turkey. The article is about the protest over his release apparently without any charges. He was later rearrested.

"Cetin was told by an Island County district court judge on December 29 that he was not to possess a firearm, but the stepfather urged the judge not to impose a no-contact order, which would require him to surrender his gun - saying that his stepson was "going through a hard time".

"Skagit County court records show three domestic-violence assault charges against Cetin, with the victim identified as his stepfather."

"Chuck Egan, a Boeing maintenance worker, was killed - shot while helping his wife flee the store" The other four victims were all women, one was 16 years old, a cancer survivor. RIP.

Not a citizen, but voted in the last 3 election cycles. Hillary supporter. Washington election system works on the honor system, proof of citizenship not required to register to vote.

Move along nothing to see here.

I had heard this by word-of-mouth, but until today had not come across verification in the news.

I am appalled.

Sheriff reveals he was in Macy's during Cascade Mall shooting...
...and he was unarmed.

Because he and his wife were celebrating her birthday with dinner and a movie. How could a cop possibly need his gun for that?

Was living in Omaha, NE when the mall shooting at Von Maur shooting in '07. Shooter took position on the second story with a rifle. Since then, when going to malls, my situational awareness is elevated. Especially on lower floors and in food courts.

Shooter hung himself in his jail cell.

Does this qualify as a jihad? Does he get the prize after death?

Family emigrated from Turkey when he was a child.

No doubt his parents will sue the county government for not identifying,dealing with, and treating his mental health issues.

I didn't see in the article where the mall was a "gun free zone". My understanding of Washington law is that signs do not have the force of law for permit holders.

Macerich Properties, owner of the Cascade Mall, prohibits weapons on all of their properties.

So does Costco, but lots of people carry there anyway, because it isn't a crime.

Oh boy, this guy is gonna get it! I'll bet you he gets banned for life from that mall for breaking their rules by bringing a gun in there.

It's a good thing we have business owners like this keeping us all safe from harm.
