Agreed!

Then... You have to go and ruin it by saying "And he looks trigger happy acting very quickly without actually knowing what was going on unless there are other facts."

So which is it?

I understand that you desperately want the latter to be so, but you can't have it both ways...
The killer did not have much information to go on unless there are other facts. Like if they had met before....

Hopefully, a thoughtful and knowledgeable person, will (UN-emotionally) post the examples of the J.W. wanna-be actual incidents IN the Villages, and how they turned out ?
Don't hold your breath for an answer...

You have ZERO idea what the shooter knew or didn't know...

........What I DO know is that just this morning I was talking with several people that were thinking about relocating here from up North. But, SADLY, this very incident about the Applebee's shooting has convinced them to NOT move to Florida. Between the lack of facts released ( they suspect a COVER-UP) about the Applebee's incident and the recent (almost daily) stories of shootings in Orlando, they intend to PASS on Florida. I suggested the Research Triangle in North Carolina or one of the Carolinas near a University.
........I could NOT in good conscience recommend The Villages or ANYWHERE in Florida. And besides Crime, there is another factor that they were NOT aware of (until I told them) - the summers are BRUTAL hot and outside activities are nearly impossible. Also, the predictions are for MORE heat for the whole earth for, at least, the next 8 years. I was a Boy Scout so I could never lie to them - maybe the Chamber of Commerce and Real Estate Agents can and will.
........They mentioned that the Applebees shooting could attract a nationwide audience because of the Racist possible component and the Police possible cover-up. It is possible that Al Sharpton has been made aware of this situation. And as of now, the DEAD black man's family can NOT afford a lawyer.
Al Sharpton only makes an appearance when there's money to be made.

Shooter knew which way to point the gun (away from self). Shooter knew how to pull trigger.

Actually, those are just guesses.

Being a racial arsonist is an extremely profitable business these days thanks to progressive cowards.

And the Lady Lake PD seem to be doing things right and not letting the media control the investigation. They should do it by-the-book to counter rabble rousers like Al Sharpton and Tucker Carlson.
Yes, the family of the wrongfully deceased will not have to go far to find some of the best firms in the country on a contingency basis. Ladylake a very small town police force who do not deal with this type of thing weekly like cities, so good for them to dodge the Sharpton's and the Carlson's, and even the Nancy Grace types.

Ben Crump seems like a good man. Shows up on my Facebook page on occasion.

Really do not care for Nancy Grace after how she handled the Trenton Duckett matter. Which also involved Lady Lake. His grandparents lived around there and Melinda Duckett killed herself inside their house in Lady Lake or near there.

True, so I'll not hold my breath, but will hold on to hope, LOL, that the drip drip facts will come. After all, I was suspicious of everything, every aspect, of the "pandemic", not very hopeful of ever knowing the FACTS ! But, lately, all these months, years, later, the drips keep dripping. One thing can always be counted on, (nearly) all people can't resist "talking" (communicating) something eventually... examples; police or emergency workers who take personal pictures at the sight of fatal accidents if it involved a well known person, criminals who can't resist posting pictures of their crimes (goods, cash, etc.) on social media sites).

I have been to Virginia City, Nevada many times and the Wild West was very much there in the 1800s.
