> [@thirdname](#): > > I think most of these things wouldn’t happen if they didn’t get so much coverage on television. Everyone knows these days that you will get attention and your story will be told if you shoot a bunch of people. I think that sometimes. It’s such an easy way for a nut with a serious insecurity complex to get their 15 minutes of fame. ---

Awesome video footage. Who here hasn’t dreamed of going after a camera crew with a hoe? ---

His last name is Rodragweez, so perhaps the first name is actually pronounced Ha-sone. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mass-shooting-in-downtown-orlando/516612.md?page=2)
