#1 It's reported White died. I'm curious about him being a devout JW. What he did it totally contrary to their teachings. What was the motive?

#2 What was the motive?

Since the sheriff suggested he had "mental health issues", I suspect either unmedicated severe paranoid schizophrenia or unmedicated severe bipolar disorder, Brer Rabbit. Or sociopathy, which doesn't have any treatment.

#3 I've gone through that checkpoint about 100 times, and the atmosphere is almost always relaxed and casual. To me it's really amazing that Lt Sylve got her act together quickly enough to put three shots on target. It must have been like going from zero to sixty in .2 seconds. But the cops in Jefferson Parish are generally pretty solid.

#4 And there's me for a moment thinking "mental illness" was RB replacement code for Muslim.

#5 ...not to be confused with MSM speak for 'we can't tie this to the Tea Party, damn'.

#6 And there's me for a moment thinking "mental illness" was RB replacement code for Muslim.

RB replacement code always has a light grey underline if it was generated by Fred's clever translator, or has a strike through if it was done manually, Omoter Gray9391. When we're sure it's a jihadi, we aren't subtle about it.

#7 It still irks that the puzzle is not yet complete.
Begging the question.

#8 All this racism has me reacting in a strange way - when I saw the perp he was not a typical white guy, so I felt relief at that moment (no having to go thru the usual press jumping to conclusion about White Tea Party etc). That is very f'd up what the press has done in conditioning us that way.

OldSpook repeat after me "Today I'm a Jew."

#10 I dont know TW...everyone that does things like this has 'issues'. I just think there's more to the story. Could be he was ill. Maybe this was suicide by cop?

Lt Slyve did some professional shooting. The NYPD might consider hiring her as a trainer.

#11 I'm trying to figure what a Lt. in the Sheriff's Office was doing pulling airport concourse duty.

All possibilites, Brer Rabbit. Let us compose ourselves to patience until the facts are revealed.
