Another fucking dumbass is about to find out what are the consequences of attention whoring.

Man said he wanted to kill 100 in mass shooting, Florida cops say

----------
A 25-year-old Daytona Beach man was arrested Friday after he sent text messages to his ex-girlfriend saying he wanted to commit a mass shooting, according to the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office. Authorities say Tristan Scott Wix sent text messages that said “A school is a weak target..id be more likely to open fire on a large crowd of people from over 3 miles away... I’d wanna break a world record for longest confirmed kill ever.” Another said “But a good 100 kills would be nice. I already have a location (laughing cry face emoji) is that bad?”

His ex-girlfriend called deputies after receiving the text messages. Deputies found Wix in the Winn-Dixie parking lot in Daytona Beach Shores and arrested him. He told deputies he doesn’t own any firearms but is “fascinated” with mass shootings.

He’s facing charges of making threats to commit a mass shooting and was taken to the Volusia County Jail where he’s being held without bond. The threats come nearly two weeks after mass shootings in El Paso and Dayton that killed 31 people.

You know why he's "fascinated with mass shootings"? Because every time one happens it gets a week of coverage on every news outlet and it's all they talk about. The culprits get psychoanalyzed by the hour on TV to the point they turn them into cult-heroes. This stuff needs to be reported on when it happens and then they need to move on. The culprits need to be given no more than passing mention, and nothing should be shown of them except their disfigured and mangled corpses.

So, in this case as well as the Ohio synagogue threat case, BOTH incidents had been quickly nipped in the bud by fast acting authorities who took the information seriously and vigilant individuals who did their part to inform them of the threats. No new gun laws or red flag bullshit were used in either case...
