The incident we have been waiting for?

Home grown domestic terrorist, possibly black muslim from prison found with "assault rifle" after killing two Army personnel at recruiting station?

I would put NOTHING past this administration to destroy our freedoms.

According to Army Lt. Col. Thomas F. Artis, the two victims were not recruiters, but part of a recruiting program called “Hometown Recruiting Assistance.”

Artis says recruiters use soldiers to tell their stories and talk to potential recruits while they are visiting or based back in their home region.

Artis says both soldiers had been previously deployed to either Iraq (web | news) or Afghanistan, but couldn’t offer any further details.

Will Eric Holder increase security at military recruiting centers, like he ordered at abortion clinics.

According to an article I read, these weren’t actual recruiters, they’re servicemembers who come back to their hometowns to help recruiters by telling their stories and experiences to potential recruits. These guys were locals to LR.

Did it mention if they were in uniform or not? Not in a uniform would lead me to believe it may not be military related, but maybe a "random act of violence" or something personal perhaps.

I would point out that it could also be Islamic related. Remember, the guys who were just arrested a couple of weeks ago for wanting to blow-up airliners and a synagogue were also black. They were prison converts to Islam. Not to buy blindly into a stereotype, but they have more of a gang-look to me. But, who knows.

Yes, they could be Islamic, but who would we lay the blame on if they were? Answer: the left wing MSM and their followers who claim that Islam is a religion of peace and we just need to get along! Plus, we can castigate the Bozo to no end for his connections to Islam.

Either way, the left wing is to blame for this. If they can blame Bill O. for the murder of Tiller because of what he said about baby killers on his program then we can blame the left for saying how terrible army recruiters and the military are. It works both ways and the sooner we realize that and start using their tactics against them, the better for us and America.

Now hold on... for all we know it could be a personal grudge or something...
I suppose asking if the shooter attends a mosque is out of line?

Could be a home-grown terrorist, trained in prison. They are generally black.

No indication - however they apparently had just been (or were just headed to) the nearby recruiting office - so presumably they would be in full uniform with medals, etc as part of the recruiting progras
