Gunman unleashes deadly barrage at pool party. Has Trump emboldened white bigots (me)?

AN DIEGO -- Police shot and killed a 49-year-old man suspected of shooting seven people Sunday at a birthday pool party in an apartment complex near the University of California, San Diego, authorities said.

Police received reports of a man shooting people by the swimming pool at around 6 p.m., Chief Shelley Zimmerman said at a news conference.

The gunman was described as a white male, reports CBS San Diego affiliate KFMB-TV.

Four black women, two black men, and one Hispanic man were taken to hospitals with gunshot wounds, Zimmerman said. One of the women later died.

white bigots, especially in 'open carry and CCW states are very aggressive, men and women, when driving. Trying to provoke a road rage situation where "they can feel threatened". I drive the roads, all over my area, everyday. They see you're brown they want to kill. Trump, bannon, miller, ivanka and jared told the racists and bigots during the campaign and everyday since that it is okay. And don't believe for one moment the head nazi bannon isn't still influencing the boy-potus and the direction this country is going. What a fucked up country, NOW!!!!! BIG TIME!!!! All I can say is they want wild, wild west, okay? Protect yourselves by all means necessary. Fuck civility.....these cretins don't know the meaning of the word.
