By Nicholas Stix

As of this writing—11:20 p.m., on Wednesday, October 5, 2011—mass shooting suspect Shareef Allman has not turned himself in, nor has he been found.

“The speakers are “community activist” Walter Wilson, Pastor Oscar Dace of San Jose, Jethroe Moore II, the president of the San Jose/Silicon Valley Branch of the NAACP, and Pastor Lee Wilson of San Jose.

At least, Walter Wilson emphasizes how shocked he is, but no one talks about the victims, and Pastor Lee Wilson’s statement about Shareef Allman, “His children need him, the community need him,” is surreal. “The community need him”? Which community? The community of mass murderers?

I believe that the young man on the left is named Kawaan, and is the same young man who is in the next picture, who appears to share a MySpace page with the suspect. Relationship unknown, but I now suspect that Kawaan is Allman’s son.
