Yep. Many of my family members in Texas (right-wing, pro-Republican, pro-gun, uber-religious, closet racists) rushed to post his image all over FB.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
And this is how my family members have "corrected" their impulsion.
Also, I'm saving myself the torture of looking at that wonderfully-named website.
We don't. We're an insular society with the majority of citizens living in/near the same geographic area all their lives. Few venture outside a certain radius for more than a day or week or month. It's a bubble reality for many.
That website promises 100% freedom guaranteed.
There's some pretty snazzy t-shirts on sale there as well, I'm tempted to get the one that has the legend "bearded for your pleasure".

Updated.
They've been having them since they've been doing controlled detonations to destroy possible bomb threats.
Just make a double dose and roll it in.
Dallas Police Department have finally deleted the tweet labelling an innocent man as a suspect. Nothing to see here!
You know, I agree with that sentiment there.
I've characterized it as a Plutocracy disguised as a Republic myself.

Ladies and Gentlemen, an elected leader has spoken. And some people wonder why there exists such a divide within these borders. I give you Texas Lt Governor Dan Patrick, presented to you by (as only possible) the Republican Party.

'Somebody that was irresponsible put my brother's image out there'. I'd say walking around (what was meant to be) a peaceful protest with a feck off rifle strapped to you is pretty irresponsible, legal or not. Don't feel sorry for him in the slightest. He's lucky he didn't get killed when things went crazy.
Sweet. The "he'll do" approach to police investigations. Nothing can possibly go wrong there.
I'm not saying they weren't wrong to plaster his image everywhere. I am saying the guy is an idiot who I don't feel sorry for.
You're on to something there. He should have handed his gun over to the police when it all started or something to ensure they knew he wasn't a threat.
Oh wait.
Doesn't justify the stupidity of walking around with a massive gun over your shoulder. He could've been shot whilst approaching the officer he handed it to, and to be honest I wouldn't blame the cop in that situation. And what for?
Just stupid.
He was labelled as a suspect and the police posted the image because they wanted to find the shooter as soon as possible. He wasn't labelled as the shooter there is a difference. There is very little wrong with what the police did. As long as they correct their mistake afterwards and say 'he was a person of interest at the time but was not a part of the attacks' or something along those lines.
So he could have been shot for doing nothing wrong and you wouldn't blame the cop for doing so?
fecking hell, please tell me you have no interest in ever becoming a police officer.
You should step away from the computer for a little while.
I wouldn't blame a cop for making a mistake in that scenario is what I'm saying, but you're clearly more concerned with finding an argument here.
There's absolutely no justification for it having a rifle in a crowd of people and it's only going to cause trouble for yourself. Which is exactly what has happened. Shock.
You should step away from your country for a little while.
You're saying you'd overlook a police officer shooting a man for doing something protected by the Constitution. But don't let me stop you.
I could accept a police officer shooting a man approaching him with a big gun whilst in a hectic crowd that contains multiple shooters, whether he's allowed to because of an outdated, ridiculous Constitution or not, yeah.
Maybe he shouldn't pointlessly walk around with a killing machine and avoid the whole problem.

I guess you'll say the cop in Minnesota was justified in shooting that guy as well, since he was exercising the same Constitutional right?
Tell me, what other aspects of the Bill of Rights need to be stricken from the most successful written constitution in human history?
Nope, because it's an entirely different scenario. Still, maybe it would've panned out differently if it weren't for that amazing Constitution of yours.
Oh it's a different scenario is it?
Cop shoots man in Minnesota after he tells him he is legally armed.
Cop (hypothetically) shoots man in Dallas after he tells him he is legally armed.
You're right. Totally different situation. Damned geography!
I really wish he was still doing the show.
Bringing up American exceptionalism on this site probably won't go down too well.
We have a hell of a lot of things wrong in this country, but our Constitution is not one of them.
Yes, well done, you simplified it so it sounded the same. I'm going now.
Finally taking advice then. Good!
No, just avoiding you.
Oh wow, you really hurt me there.
Dallas mayor and PD now saying that the shooter was a lone shooter. Man carried out the entire attack by rapidly moving between levels of the parking garage.

So have they confirmed this was a lone gunman?
Look at the link in my post above yours
