Charlotte Henry for The Mac Observer:
Tim Cook expressed his sorrow after a shooting incident not far from Apple’s headquarters. The Apple CEO also thanked first responders who dealt with the incident.
The shooting happened less than an hour away from Apple’s campus. The San Francisco Chronicle reported that three people were killed and 15 injured during the shooting, some critically.
Deeply saddened by the news of the shooting at the Gilroy Garlic Festival, a beloved community tradition in Northern California. Wishing strength and recovery to our neighbors in Gilroy, the victims and their families. Much gratitude to the first responders.

Yet another unstable white supremacist with access to military-grade firearms. The site was well policed, so you can’t blame this one on the victims for being unprepared. Background checks might save more lives than just thoughts and prayers.
Direct quote from Gilroy Garlic Festival shooter Santino William Legan:
“Why overcrowd towns and pave more open space to make room for hordes of mestizos and Silicon Valley white twats?”
Sounds more like a deranged Lib environmentalist global warming wacko than a “white supremacist.” I don’t hear “white supremacists” calling each other “white twats.”
No, but you do hear them calling women that.
he isn’t liberal. nice try though. soooooo cute.
In my opinion, the Colonial Army needed firearms for hunting, protecting itself against marauders but, most imprtantly and existentially, to defend itself successfully against the oppressive British government.
The Colonial Army was not composed of deranged teenagers shooting children because they are “meztizos.” The Second Amendment was not written to facilitate murder. Keeping automatic rifles out of the hands of maniacs is just common sense.
You sound like the type who refers to magazines as “clips” and rounds as “bullets”. You invented the automatic rifle part, they aren’t available to civilians and one wasn’t used yesterday. The Second Amendment was written to protect citizens against tyrants, the modern day iteration being communist leftists liars. I repeat myself.
Actually, they are available to civilians by simple modification of the semi-automatic rifle that was used. Please list the recent victims of “communist leftist liars” who can legally be controlled by firearms. I can list hundreds who have been killed by rightists. To repeat, the Second Amendment was not written to place deadly weapons in the hands of lone-wolf crazies. In what world is that a “well-regulated militia?”
i guess one boogieman is as good as another to justify you shitting your pants every day.
Five days later: Ditto in El Paso.
AP: Lagan “appeared to have posted a photo of a Smokey Bear sign warning about fire danger with a caption that instructed people to read the novel “Might Is Right” by Ragnar Redbeard. The book, published in 1890, includes principles related to social Darwinism and is described as including misogynistic and racist ideas.”
Misogynistic, as in referring to women as “twats.” Racist, as in referring to non-Aryans as “mestizos.”
I will agree that it sounds deranged, as does your reference to “wackos.” Do we agree that deranged wacko teenagers shouldn’t have access to AK-47s?
If everyone attending would have been carrying, we could have upped the body count to a more acceptable U.S. tally.
Thoughts and prayers to those who suffered a loss at this tragedy. It is especially painful when children become victims.
That goes without saying. What needs saying is that many of these tragedies are preventable.
