What is dumb is that the shooter claims to have been bullied for being poor yet he had a few thousand dollars to waste on guns? When we think about it he could have managed the same carnage with a $10 machete from Harbor Freight.


This loser is so typical of the poor mindset. I have known people like this. They don't have the rent money. They don't have money to buy their kids Christmas presents yet they have plenty to buy cigarettes, coffees and scratch tickets everyday.

Schools should be teaching less about Gender bending and CRT and focus instead on how to manage money and above all Life Coping Skills.

i assumed he just hoarded the income from his wendy's job. it's hard to imagine the store fronting a loan of a couple thousand dollars to a weird 18 year old kid.

That screenshot of the website indicates it's a separate finance company. I'm sure the store gets a cut but if the shooter defaults, it's on the finance company.

It's been answered.

He used a debit card.

Which means, after working for Wendy's for years, and living off his parents and grandparents, he had amassed a couple thousand dollars.

His father was the one who claimed he'd been bullied, for having only one pair of pants that were highwaters, and for "looking poor", and that was while he was in school. He dropped out at 16 and had worked at Wendy's ever since.

So, years prior to this shooting.

Yes, it's been explained repeatedly that 30hrs./week x $13+ at fast food is >400/week.

Living at grandmas he could squirrel away thousands pretty quickly.

OP was too lazy to do any reading before arriving at their conclusion.

Pretty damn sad that you would even think this remotely possible or that the other person made the FBI comment felt it was necessary. Joking or not. There are enough nutjobs on the pro-gun side to read this and just take their fanaticism just a step further if they were to believe this. We do not need more crap like this out here helping us at all.

Except that there is factual precedent of the FBI grooming/ setting up individuals to commit acts of violence.
Blind spot noted.

Without going back and

searching, I think he had a regular job in a fast food place.

Lived with his family.
