Mooresville, as the crow flies. I love it there, just too bad the state is so red and backwards.

Still job hunting...

In no way does a cop doing his or her job correctly forgive the cops who don't.

I'm always glad, too, in situations like this, when the suspect is apprehended without any further lives being lost. At least they got him before he went somewhere else and started shooting people.

And I want him even to have a fair and impartial trial. I want him convicted where there is not a shadow of a doubt as to his guilt. Then put him away for good.

I expected this to be another case where one of these terrorists killed himself before being apprehended. Now, we may find out what the hell prompted this heinous attack, if it's not just pure racial hatred.

Obama wants to do something to increase restrictions preventing irresponsible gun ownership, so these tragedies will occur LESS FREQUENTLY. But that's not going to happen in our NRA controlled congress.

Or underlying events.

But the jacket patches--pre-1994 Republic of South Africa and the Rhodesian flag--tie in nicely with the "you're taking over our country" report from the AME church survivors. Those are two anglophone countries of note that had white regimes "taken over" by black regimes.

I'd look to more local or personal events, IMHO.

I'm sick about the whole thing. Racism at work, once again. I have to simply shake my head and wait to see what comes out. There's no rational explanation, since racism is irrational from the get-go.

I remember back in 1997 or so, there was a guy in California whose name was "Al Nino" and he had to disconnect his phone because he kept getting nasty calls from people mad at him about the shitty weather.
