Crusius posted a manifesto before his shooting spree.
TRENDING: UPDATE: Please Help Gateway Pundit Provide Legal Representation to J-6 Victim Victoria White
In the manifesto he says he chose a gun-free zone as his target for obvious reasons.
Remember: it is not cowardly to pick low hanging fruit. AKA Don’t attack heavily guarded areas to fulfill your super soldier COD fantasy. Attack low security targets. Even though you might out gun a security guard or police man, they likely beat you in armor, training and numbers.
