Update: Apparently the cop-killer is a anti-Semite.

Mr. Perkovic and other former classmates said they were surprised by this morning’s events. Mr. Perkovic said Mr. Poplawski was opposed to “Zionist propaganda” and was fearful that his right to own weapons would be taken away but he wasn’t a member of an organized group or militia.

Read the rest, Elder of Ziyon has link to MySpace page of Poplawski’s friend Perkovic

The spin on this is amazing. He was thrown out of Catholic High School and Boot camp. He was an avowed anti-semite with a history of both drug and alcohol abuse.

How the heck with his history was he "legally" able to obtain weapons? I know the media will never ask this, but it sure would have saved grief and maybe the lives of the three Officers.

Just checking back in...and I feel like I am beating the drum here...but the ‘friends’ are odd. I just watched some local (Pgh) 11pm news. The friends are not right. All this attention is given to their statements, but you should really try and watch video of them, then make your assessment. I really think they wanted ‘face time’ on TV. Their demeanor is very, very ‘off’ to me.
