Possible terror attack at Travis AFB

SUV loaded with propane tanks enters the base.  Driver ignites the tanks (and apparently himself), and crashes.

Fortunately, no casualties other than the perpetrator.

This is getting little coverage from the MSM.  Apparently, prostitutes who claim to have slept with Trump are more important.

Just imagine how much damage the gunman could have done if he'd mounted a barrel shroud on his propane tanks!

Didn't look like an SUV to me -- it looked like a pickup truck.

I think I am seeing a back end on the vehicle instead of an open bed, but I guess that could be a cover or just thick smoke.

More of a suicide bumbler than a bomber. We need more of these types!

I looked at the video a couple more times. I think I was wrong -- it could be an SUV with the rear windows blown out and engulfed by flames.

Now the question is -- did this dude leave a 25-minute cell phone recording explaining what he was up to?

I can't claim this one, but it's too good not to share:

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

The driver, who has been identified as Hafiz Kazi, 51, of Sausalito, broke through the main gate around 7 p.m. on Wednesday. He was pronounced dead at the scene, officials said. No other injuries were reported.

Within the vehicle, investigators found five propane tanks, a gym bag with personal effects, three phones, three plastic one-gallon gas cans, and several lighters.

Those pesky Swedes again.

He is reportedly an Indian national in the US on a permanent resident visa.  A cab driver at one time, not much other solid information available about him. Limited social media presence, no known family in the US. A family member in India has been notified about his death.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Probably put out of work by Uber and Lyft.

Geez, must be hard to perpetuate the stereotypes when you can't afford a motel or gas station.

I'm a little late to the party, sorry.

It must have been a pickup truck.

It couldn't possibly have been an SUV since it's illegal to carry compressed flammable gases within the passenger compartment of a vehicle, and he'd be breaking the law if he did that.
