I don't think the cry about fingerprinting would have made a difference here.

Sounds to me like he just cracked and went postal.
At least he had easy access to guns and his 2nd amendment right was not trampled upon.

Kalamazoo Uber driver got fares between killings, source says - CNN.com


Six people have been killed in a series of apparently random shootings in the Michigan city of Kalamazoo, police said. Four people were killed at a restaurant and two at a car dealership.
The attacks are being linked to an earlier shooting at a car park, which left one woman seriously injured.
The woman was shot multiple times - reportedly in front of her children - and was taken to hospital in a serious condition.

A manhunt was launched, which ended with a 45-year-old local man, being taken into custody. Some news reports say he picked up passengers between shootings.
Well,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, didn't your mother ever tell you to not step into the car of someone you don't know?

I used to hitch-hike in the '70s and early '80s. Me and all of my friends who did the same (we were poor white trash) carried guns. I never had to pull one or even felt threatened (most of the time I was picked up by businessmen who did work in the back seat or slept while I drove), but some of my friends did.

Never step into the car of a stranger.

Not to be too conspiracy oriented, as it's probably very unlikely...but it's interesting that an uber driver did this considering all the attacks the company has been getting from the Taxi industry and certain politicians.

At the very least you know they'll jump on this opportunity to try and shut down unlicensed taxi services, since they've been trying to find ways of doing that for a long time now.

Well, he shot all those people with a gun so he obviously had access to a gun. Guns are prevalent in this country and according to many of the gun owners on here, there should be no restrictions. Heck, I say we give a gun to every new American after they are sworn in. It's the American way, right?

shrug. "Heres your gun, please use it to defend yourself, and the country"

Im OK with that. People we admit to the country, we should feel safe enough to do this, if we don't.....then why are we admitting them?

Cool. I really don't believe what I wrote. I'm betting you don't mind but I guarantee many of the other gun owners will not want Muslims and others from non-white countries to have guns once they become citizens. But, who cares!!!

Anyway, sorry for all the victims in this latest mass shooting. We'll never learn or change. It's really too bad.
