A 22-year-old man in combat gear and a mask opened fire Monday morning at a federal courthouse in Dallas and was killed in an ensuing firefight with police officers, authorities said.
Cellphone video of the 8:50 a.m. incident at the Earle Cabell Federal Building captured images of the gunman running along the side of the building, smoke from a short distance and then the suspect running into a parking lot and collapsing.
He made it to PFC before his honorable discharge. He had to have learned something. Reminds me a bit of that other vet that got turned loose on the University of Texas in the early 1960s.
The story I saw around here was that he got the early honorable discharge because he couldn’t meet physical standards and couldn’t be deployed.
I did NOT know that!
Then you have learned something, and I have shared a bit of knowledge. We've both had a good day.
I would not have known of it had I not been digging through old back copies of German-language newspapers, and had a reasonably good working knowledge of tghe German language.
Next bit of knowledge: I suppose you know who popularized the term racist/racialist/racialist/racism.
Suicide By Cop- Now With Tacti-Cool!!
Could well be. I've got a pal looking into it.
Kind of amazing how quickly he's dropped out of the media spotlight. *more here*.
I'm not sure about that. one example I know of was within Islam.
The Abbasid Revolution primary reason which almost ended Islam was over the term Mawla (non-Arab Muslim.)
The only way to save Islam was to literally change Islamic law (Allah's law.) Which is how the "Abbasid Caliphate" or rightly guided Caliphates started and the separation of the Shia and Sunni.
I haven't looked into enough to know the derogatory terms for the mawla. I'm sure it wasn't nice.
