Good quality, level headed local reporting from a Mark Westwood from KCAA radio station, just gave a very informative extended interview on BBC America news.

Well I was commenting on the quality of his radio journalism, rather than the content, which now seems to have largely been reported in this thread.

Ok, I'm back from the hot tub and able to post coherently (it wasn't the alcohol, it was the lame iPhone). :sleep:

That's right, only knowing the guy's name we have no idea if he's an Islamic terrorist, or even a Muslim at all.  However, a big slice of whitebread MURICA is immediately going to jump to that conclusion so I kind of half-hope he is some ISIS operative, since from a political standpoint he'll be turned into one rhetorically and used to push the 'no Syrians' agenda which quite frankly I find sickening and totally un-American.  The politicians who have been selling that shit to the American people ought to be ashamed of themselves.

I actually have two acquaintances who are refugees from Islamic world violence; one is a friend's wife who is an Iraqi Chaldean Christian and who is the nicest person you could imagine (and also super HOTT  :cool: ), and the other is a Muslim Bosniak who wouldn't hurt a fly.  The problem in this country is that we have too few people who are exposed to immigrants from Muslim regions... or probably more accurately any immigrants at all... and so it's easy to imagine all are bad and intend to do harm, and in Kim Davis country the politicians who get sent to Washington feel compelled to pander to them, since as most of us know politicians' main interest is keeping themselves employed, not actually working toward the common good.

There was man and woman team that shot up Walmart a few years back.  They got kicked out of the Clive Bundy "steal from the federal government" racist camp and then went on a rampage.  That's the most similar thing I can think of.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Yeah him getting his brother and a lady friend to do it does add an unusual twist to the usual disgruntled employee script. But it is still possible.
I wonder if she was an active participant or just forced along for the ride. :hmm:  Were there any reports that she was definitely one of the shooters?

Oh Cal I wish that was the case. I don't think so though. Being loaded with Latinos and going to school with them and living with them and having them at all levels of our society has not made everybody excited about Latino immigration. And they are basically western Christians.

Target is just weird. Even cdm christened white bread militias won't stoop that low.

Well, it's not like you'd have to chase anybody down.  I mean, not as far, maybe.   Or for very long.   We're not talking drafting at Bristol, is what I'm trying to say.   Hell, you know what I mean.
:huh: There is virtually no drafting at Bristol, you don't go fast enough there to draft.

A lot of under the table contractors too.

Well I am to. But nothing makes the people rise up in rage like immigration reform.
