Ping.

[cripplecreek]

Jihad or Fergonsonitis?

[lightman]

Mebbe....mebbe just a Pennsyltucky redneck pizzed off for being cited on a traffic stop.

Pike County is a bedroom community for NYC.

I expect to see more of this. And not just people fed up with police. The government apparatus has annoyed a lot of people, and voting doesn’t seem to make a difference. If the ballot box has failed, people will seek other boxes.

No hint that it is Fergonsonitis.

Cops around here are jumpy about past DUI offenders they have prosecuted, could be something along those lines if not a personal attack due to domestic issues.

if not a personal attack due to domestic issue

...or just plain mistaken identity.

Gov. Tom Corbett wanted to visit the area, but officials warned him to stay away when a “a very dangerous, armed criminal” has not been caught, the Times-Tribune reported.

Still, State Police Commissioner Frank Noonan assured residents the shooter is not believed to be dangerous to the public.

So, we're to believe he's just "very dangerous" to the Governer. Boy, some politicians are so damn stupid.

[Veggie Todd]

And the killer could still be on the loose.

What do you mean "could"? Either he is or isn't.

During the Ferguson, MO riots, there was talk about “bringing it” to “Whitey’s” neighborhoods, so right now anything’s possible.

RIP. I didn’t know you sir, but thank you for your service. May the Lord give you and your family His peace.

... and they believe this, why??

It is a Jihad Technique of ISIS in Iraq to sniper attack Iraqi police/security coming and going from their stations prior to the main attack. This was a big reason many Iraqi Police/security initially fled leaving towns basically undefended. The Jihadis posted lots of videos showing this tactic.

I agree. People don't like being bullied. When overwhelming power is unnecessarily used against people, they will resort to these guerrilla tactics to strike back.

I remember years ago, a couple black men were hiding in auto trunks firing through a peephole randomly shooting white people. That was freaky and scary.

[Vigilanteman]

But you’re mistaken. It was an angry middle aged white guy in a white panel van. Didn’t Chief Moose tell us so?

“Fergusonitis...thanks, I’ll be using that from now on.”
Fergusonitis sounds like bowel infection. I think he probably meant Fergusonistas.
