I called one of my employees on his personal cell while he was on vacation, with clammy hands, playing what-if games in my head, then he picked up and reminded me he was in Hawaii after Thanksgiving. I have a couple or three coworkers from a CSUSB scholarship program. I hope I don't learn anything extra-special-horrible tomorrow.

As one of the boards resident Houstonians (and also as someone who lives not far from where the incident happened), I should point out that this is highly unlikely to be political because it happened at a clinic. and more something that was par for the course in the sketchy neighborhood the clinic happens to be in.

I dunno, "disgruntled employee" was the first thing that popped into my head about this tbh. Or have people forgotten where the phrase "going postal" came from.

I get their angle, but timing and multiple suspects should have caused the Daily News to wait for details before labelling this a run-of-the-mill spree killing.

Oh, did you not read the entire quote? He explains himself very succinctly:
When asked by ABC News to clarify what exactly he means by "hate crime" in this instance, Carson said, “Well it’s hard to imagine that you would shoot a bunch of people and not hate them, right? You don’t do that to people you love.”
