Once again I ask, where are the liberals who react to political frustration through violence? This is a thoroughly conservative trend.

  1. Even in the late sixties, when some radical leftists foolishly claimed solidarity with the then-unknown Tate/Folgers/LaBianca murderers, it wound up being a crime perpetrated by a right-wing racist.

  2. —i do not think this will have anything to do with the other murder, but if it turns out to be a left-wing fanatic, or a muslim fanatic, conservative talk radio will breath a sign of relief to have this to talk about tommarow.

    —if it turns out to be a “Christian Identity” far-right fanatic, they will not care.

    LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Police in Little Rock, Ark., say a man who likely had “political and religious motives” shot two new Army soldiers, killing one, at a military recruiting center.

    Police Chief Stuart Thomas identified the victim who died as 24-year-old William Long of Conway. He and the second soldier, both wearing fatigues, had recently completed basic training and volunteered to help attract others to the military.

  3. LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – A man with “political and religious motives” killed a soldier just out of basic training and wounded another Monday in a targeted attack on a military recruiting center, police said. The shootings were not believed to be part of a broader scheme.

    A police report based on an interview with the suspect says Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad, 23, told police he observed two soldiers in uniform, drove up to the recruiting center and started shooting.

    —The rest of the article says the man acted alone and was a convert to Islam.
