I have went to that garlic festival before. It is a small little farming community. That it smells like garlic every where. I cannot see why would of shooter targeted that place. But it might be gang related. San Jose Ca is not that far from there. San Jose has a big Hispanic gang problem, but it was a lone shooter. It is a multicultural event. And the shooting was preplanned, because he has cut out an opening in the fence. Maybe the shooter was doing a hit for a drug cartel. .But he wouldn't have gunned them down in a public place. That they would of have shot their victims at their homes or somewhere else. But the shooter could be a White person that just hated Mexicans. Because that city is populated with migrant workers. Sounds like the shooter was on a suicide mission.
This is almost certainly not gang related, this was random, collective murder.
Just some unstable, emotional sick psycho who decided that shooting people would help his anger and depression. I don't know the persons back story, but to kill innocent people that had nothing to do with his suffering or hurt, is about as cowardly as it gets. What the hell did a 6 year old have to do with his problems? Regardless of his reasoning,it's not sound, this person isn't stable.
Again, the world we live in. Desensitized to violence and a complete lack of respect for life. As I get older it's clear, from music, to video games, movies and human interactions between one another on a day to day basis, the future is not bright for civilization. Those qualities of empathy are lost, and it's not just USA that's dealing with the repercussions of such a society.
The sad reality is, many of us deal with stresses, anxiety and even depression at times. Especially if we've been wronged and recourse isn't possible. In America, you have so many resources and ways to deal with your suffering, especially in California. These actions are inexcusable. If he was angry and needed help, he could have found it.
