London

Sounds like they cancelled the press conference this afternoon without explanation. This just going to fade away?

Whether or not some of you are too dense to understand my sarcasm, this post is a good example of why mass shootings in this country have become a parody, especially on the internet. No discussion of victims. No discussion of actual root causes. Hell, in this case, we have almost zero information on motive or victims. So where does the attention go?

The first thing the pundits do is ask what the race of the shooter was or their political leanings. Not as an attempt to triage the problem, but to use it as political propaganda. Within a few posts of this thread, the attention was moved to illegal immigrants. How mad were some of you when the shooter turned out to be white?

Think about how ****ed up that question is.

You all want the truth about mass shootings? Nothing is ever going to be done. Our country is neutered from any type of pragmatic realism. I think it was JD Vance who said that mass shootings should be accepted in the same way natural disasters are accepted.

Sadly, I agree with him. It's never going to change. We just wait for the next sacrificial lambs to be slaughtered and that's the reality we have.
First thing people do is run and see if the shooter was ''maga'' or trans.

They probably realized pulling the Calipari "haven't seen him" line out every day wasn't necessary.


Several surrounding schools have cancelled classes and all sports related activities until monday.

I used to ride 4 wheelers at Cromer Ridge where the shooter was set up all the time before it was shut down. If he is still loose in the woods, that area is very thick. He could be in there for weeks before being found if he had the necessities. Remember, it used to be an atv park, trails are everywhere in between the thick forest. I have some theories.

They found his car and weapon with the phone. The battery was out so it couldn’t be pinged. That along with the weapon tells me suicide probably wasn’t his first option. That said, he could very well have a side arm to off himself with.

Anyone with familiarity knows the exit points of the area. Had he planned this, he could’ve stashed a dirtbike or 4 wheeler next to where he was before driving up in his car. From where the shots came, if you know the trails, you can be on highway 80 between London and Somerset near Hawk Creek/Swiss Colony within 30 minutes. You can be to civilization within 15 minutes if hammering down. Once on 80, he has a direct line to Bowling Green and i65 out of the state. I highly doubt that after calls of a mass shooting, law enforcement will have people at all exit points within 30 minutes. They are going to flood the immediate scene before starting the man hunt.

Although it’s technically shut down, people still ride there so you’re going to have many tracks making it impossible to conclude they were his get away vehicle.

Great insight. Will be interesting to see if he is ever found.
 
Now the infamous world chicken festival is at risk of being cancelled. The locals are getting restless and may riot if they don't get to see Uncle Kracker.
 
If this dude isn't found dead or caught, there will be myths and "sightings" of him for decades in the mountains...guaranteed.
 
Well, sounds planned. Hop in back of truck lay low, wait till it stops driver gets out away.
Hop out use a burner phone for an Uber or just go get in another truck bed ride till it stops.
Go hitch ride with a trucker…..endless possibilities.
No, I don’t believe he is there. Not if he left his phone gun vehicle. He had a plan to get out of there and used woods being search for his get out of town.

I feel for the people in the area and the decision makers who will need to decide soon whether or not to move forward with everyday life. What happened was so random and one's worst fear would be Couch somehow showing up with another gun at a high school football game or something, as far fetched as that might sound considering the massive manhunt for him. You can't allow him to be a boogeyman for that part of the state if he's never caught or his body is never found though.

I like the HS style drama going on about the Governor's visit. Makes it seem like they aren't cooperating the best and it's a good way for the public to lose trust in them.
 
Per this guy (and I'm not vouching for him, just passing it along in a vacuum of information), the rumor is that they think they know where he is and have monitored communication and seen physical evidence that he's planned a suicidal standoff with police so they are just waiting him out.

No idea if that is true but it would fit with the available facts so far as I understand them.

I’ve not been to the exit 49 gas station since Covid hit but they used to make some yummy gas station food there back in the day!
 
Yup. On KSR Monday, Matt didn't use the word 'lie' but noted the mayor gave out wrong information twice immediately following what had happened.

That dude should lose his job over that and it shouldn’t even be a question. Literally could’ve setback the entire manhunt or put people’s lives at risk

I heard the dogs they brought in couldn’t hit his scent, at all. Strange.

I’d say he’s long gone.
Interesting. Assuming he's not killed himself in a place where he's not been found, dude has done a remarkable job of evading dogs and drones.

Maybe he really listened during his military training.

All these theories are a lot of planning for someone who purchased the weapon the day of the shooting and was shirtless with a bright colored hat. He’s most likely dead or holed up starving & will make a mistake soon. Buzzards will probably give his location soon.

Or maybe he has local help.
I see this rumor but I have a hard time considering it as a realistic possibility if we are talking about a classic accessory before the fact co-criminal. What would be the motivation for someone to help this guy avoid justice if you knew what he was planning to do beforehand?

Now if we eventually find out that one of his friends unwittingly gave him a ride under strange circumstances that night or something and then delayed in contacting law enforcement, I could see that. It would be dumb but those things happen.

But someone out there actively helping him remain on the lam? I have doubts. You would think that even his mom or girlfriend would probably rat him out at this point, if just to see him not die in a shootout with police.

Unfortunately, it happens every day. And it'll likely be somebody in his inner circle who eventually rats him out. You can bet LE knows who he runs with and are ramping up the pressure. Whomever does turn him in will do so not because it's the honorable thing to do but because he owes them money or drugs or both. Somebody local knows where he is.
