In-n-out shooting in Idaho

So you’re saying he’s adopted? It’s not a political attack so I’m not sure what you’re talking about.
no im repeating what the link says, hes a former foster youth. you can be former foster care and go back to your birth parents later on OR be adopted OR live with people you consider family that didnt adopt you. it didnt get into those details since the "parents" didnt reply back. read the link

If he had that crappy of a childhood no wonder he went postal
 
Wonder if he had been recruited by a ws group in Idaho? Speculating but he went to school there, might have been an impressionable person looking for his tribe. Posted about immigration.

I'll wait a week for more detailed news and reporting. First few days after these the media puts out a new story every 30 seconds while learning very little.

He's not latino enough to be a ws and they wouldnt target a Christian restaurant like In-N-Out
 
Why was Chad Williams targeting Tesla owners apart from the young woman he shot in the drive-through? He was also shooting random people so it could have been "random", but Tesla/Elon-hate is a very 🍌 thing these days. I drive a Tesla and we talk about all of this stuff on X.

This doesn't prove he was a 🍌 per se, but his targets are consistent with 🍌 ideology and the 🍌 terrorist ideation we've seen against Elon, Tesla, Tesla employees, Tesla owners, X, etc. These nutbags are STILL trying to paint Elon as a 🥨, so yeah it wouldn't surprise me that some among them want to kill Tesla owners. These crazies are STILL "protesting" outside the Tesla diner in Hollywood, with their Elon "🥨" inflatables that do the Sig Heil repeatedly. Forgive me if I have a low opinion of 🍌s, especially when someone goes and shoots Teslas and their owners at a charging station that happens to share a lot with an In & Out.

In & Out is consistent with a 🍌 shooter as well, being a Mormon-owned chain.

Plus, some people have been putting up stickers trying to find someone to Luigi Elon, such as, "Who Will Kill Elon". It's a hit-request thinly-disguised as a question.
 
I drive a tesla, I don't feel targetted at all and I am the illegal looking mofo on that avatar. if you spend time on a certain bubble of course you might believe what the bubble presents.

I have a feeling we will never know a motive, maybe he just snapped? Why shoot the cute girl at the window? As a political attack it seems odd however you’re right he targeted things considered “right wing” such as in n out (Christian, based company) and two people in a tesla (hatred for Elon musk and free speech)

Other than that we don’t really have anything to go off of
 
Hating Elon doesn't mean you hate free speech. Being a fan of either doesn't mean you automatically support the other. Elon un-banned a lot of accounts but also suppressed/shadow-banned a lot of accounts. He didn't equal the playing field he just gets to pull the levers now.

It's more about what we've seen over large sample sizes than how one person feels. The anti-Tesla attacks have been everywhere on X, because Tesla-owners report it. It's also on the news when it bubbles up. Have you not heard about ALLLLLL of the Tesla vandalism coming from 🍌s? Before this last general election, we had to deal with right-wingers blocking our charging spots at Tesla Superchargers. This is beyond the people shining lasers in the eyes of Tesla employees, still occasionally blocking our chargers, and harassing Teslas on the road.

So yeah, I see Teslas and their owners getting shot and it's natural to add this to the pattern.

Hating Elon probably DOES mean you're a 🍌 with 🍌 ideas. That's pretty obvious. I know these anti-Elon types IRL and all of them are Lefties.

True, it's speculation on thin evidence and pattern-recognition, but I admit that it's not much to go on.
 
I dunno I assume with no information that the kid was right wing becuase just look at him and hated minorities like the In n Out manager and also hated liberal electric car douchebags. And primarily because he had an assualt rifle, he's clearly a right wing gun nut.

We have no information on the motive and playing victim makes you look weak as F-. Nobody is targeting you even if Elon is a douche.

I think he is a little hypocritical (and autistic lmao) however as someone that worked at Twitter during the height of their insane censorship programs in the Jack Dorsey era lol it's wayyyyyy different under Musk. I mean working there was political correctness off the charts
 
I agree with Wolkenflieger.

Target selection is the whole ballgame here. This F-in asshat didn't know it was a taxi driver and he didn't care because from that distance all he saw was a Tesla, and he put rounds in it before moving on. Don't write it off pay attention to that. That's not random. Random is spraying the crowd. Walking up to a parked Tesla and shooting several rounds through the windshield is a message being sent not a stray hit.

How could he tell the In n out manager was a minority? Anyone shooting up a fast food joint at lunch is going to hit whoever's on the line.

What actually fits the pattern is the anti-Tesla wave. Dealership arsons, molotovs at the Superchargers, Cybertrucks torched, etc. I had woke Karens vandalize my own Tesla and accuse me of being a 🥨 and that's when I drew the line because they are so deranged.

The ideological direction is obvious: Musk ran DOGE, went MAGA, gutted jobs and put his face on the AI wave that's wiping out white collar work. It woke up a slice of unhinged people decided his cars were fair game.

This guy washed out and got radicalized. Simple as that. Morons here will try to say the left or right did it. Derangement syndrome did this.

Motive will come out eventually and my money's on a social media trail or manifesto that gets very quietly memory holed when it doesn't fit the preferred narrative. Does anyone really know the motives of Stephen Padock and Thomas Crooks?
 
Do we know why he hated the Tesla? He could just as easily hate liberal EVs as he could Tesla. The anger from many towards EVs and green initiatives is just as loud as the hate towards Musk.

We will all view this through our own lens and make assumptions that fit our world view.
