Title: Shots fired at fed courthouse in W VA
Post by: Balog on October 09, 2013, 06:18:31 PM
Sounds like a former cop, used two guns (one a possible "assault type rifle"  ;/) and may have also taken shots at the YWCA building next door. Media is desperately googling his name to try to fake up a link to the Tea Party.

May have used an AK type. Not good. Also, money quote:

Asked if the gunman had any beef with the U.S. government, Claxton said, "We're really digging hard at this point to find out."


Yeah, I bet they are.  Wonder if they have any "right wing hate literature" laying around that they can plant find at the guy's house?

Saw this one earlier.

Thought is was weird to just shoot at a building (or possibly two).  Likelihood of killing anyone that has irked you that bad to go all "Falling Down" is low, and likelihood of dying or getting caught is high.  No reward.

Maybe no stadiums (http://www.amazon.com/Enemies-Foreign-Domestic-Trilogy-ebook/dp/B004JF4L98/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1381357567&sr=8-1&keywords=enemies+foreign) were available.

I recognized that reference as soon as I read it.

I haven't even read the book, but I knew what it referenced.
