Arcan Cetin, WA state alleged killer of 5: stole guns from his pro-NRA, pro-Trump stepfather,

Last edited Sun Sep 25, 2016, 04:42 AM - Edit history (6)

whose name is reported to be David Marshall.

Cetin's ex-girlfriend worked at Macy's till a few months ago. That, and Cetin's easy access to his stepfather's guns, is probably behind the shootings -- not any religion.

Law enforcement sources tell KING 5 Cetin was in possession of three guns Friday night. All of them were legally purchased, but Cetin stole them from his father.

The weapon used Friday night was a .22 Ruger, according to law enforcement.

As for the motive, law enforcement sources say Cetin’s ex-girlfriend use to work at the Macy’s where the shooting happened. However, she has not worked there in several months and now lives in Pierce County. But that connection appears to be why Cetin chose that location.


This article includes photos of Cetin on his Myspace page, posing with guns.

The FB page of David Marshall, the stepfather, shows he is pro NRA, pro-Trump, pro Conservative Club, and anti-Obama and anti-Hillary.

Apparently Marshall, who was in the military, married Cetin's mother and brought her and Cetin here from Turkey years ago.

This is another post of the father's, David Marshall's, in which he repeats a David Greenwood's defense of gun ownership. I wonder how Marshall feels now that his stepson is alleged to have killed 5 people -- with one of Marshall's precious guns.

""David Marshall shared David Greenwood's post."

1. yeah, and his twitter page supposedly said he was pro hillary. I think it is a

bullshit.

I think is his sick little mind, plus the minds of those in the Minneapolis Mall shootings, and NY/NJ bombings are hoping to created a "holy war" between the U.S. and the Muslim world, and believe trump is most likely to accommodate such an outcome.

This will come up in the debates

Perspective is important. Other acts of terrorism that have occurred on our shores are the abortion clinic bombings, the mass shooting at the Planned Parenthood Clinic in Colorado, and the Dylan Roof mass killing in the African American Church in South Carolina. All based on a racist and religious ideology
in the mind of the perpetrator

that the stepfather of the alleged murderer is a Christian, a "good guy," and a Trump supporter.

This would appear to be the facebook page of the shooter's father-in-law, who appears to be a very pro-2A gun guy. This guy married the shooter's mom (Turkish woman) back in 2010:

He seems like a good guy. Looks like he is a Trump supporter.

He is a good guy.
He would fit right in with the majority of ARFcom.

Anyone recognize the artwork above the dude on the couch?

Pretty sure it's Byzantine iconography depicting Gabriel and Mary.
It's something you'd find in the home of someone who's a member of the Greek Orthodox or Byzantine Church.

Not a Muslim household. Doesn't mean the kid wasn't acting out after reading some jihadi shit online though.

Damn, the Trump stuff on his step dad's page is going to be huge by Monday. The major media is going to eat it up

Hillary. IOW, it was a bargain with fate joke. Like saying, "I will do anything if I can have this thing that I want. ANYTHING! Why, I would even do X" (with "X" being something that the person would never want to do in a million years).

http://heavy.com/news/2016/09/arcan-cetin-cascade-mall-burlington-washington-shooting-suspect-shooter-name/

In response to a letter in the Whidbey News-Times in May 2013 praising President Obama and Washington Governor Jay Inslee, Cetin commented that the pair’s liberalism “sounds like Communism.”


it was a bargain with fate joke. Like saying, "I will do anything if I can have this thing that I want. ANYTHING! Why, I would even do X"--with "X" being something that the person would never want to do in a million years.

Unfortunately, I have seen a LOT of people completely misreading that tweet, so of course the "He supports Hillary" misreading is going to go viral and be spewed by every mouth online and in the MSM.

He is a conservative. He thinks liberalism is the same as communism.

Pierce County (Tacoma and environs) is south of Seattle and a good 1.5 hours away from Burlington. That doesn't make sense to me, unless he felt that he couldn't do it in the Metro area and get away with it.
