I think they ruled out terrorism before the incident actually happened.

Just being prudent so nobody jumps the gun. /s

FYI...Air Force bases have Air Force Police. U.S. Army bases have M.P.’S..I know I am being picky....the only difference is the name and some of the work they do..I’m an old grumpy MP vet....

Do you know what are the rules regarding the arrest of or being nasty to civilians?

""By Ari Cohn, Tribune September 30, 2006 God goes by many names in Scottsdale, more so now than ever. The city’s growth has brought with it adherents of many faiths, who pray in their own ways and often in different languages. Some have reached a critical mass and have built their own houses of worship, in addition to the 81 Christian churches of various denominations here. The reception given to members of the Bahai Faith, Muslim, Hindu and Jewish communities generally has been warm and welcoming, according to representatives of those denominations....(SNIP).... Growth in the Muslim community has followed a similar pattern, said M. Zuhdi Jasser, a congregant at the Islamic Center of the Northeast Valley. The mosque opened about a year ago at 12125 E. Via Linda. “It’s part of the general growth we see in the Valley. We certainly see new Muslims coming in to Scottsdale every month,” he said. “There are newcomers quite frequently, usually people moving in from out of town.” About 200 families belong to the mosque, Jasser said. “Construction’s not complete internally, but we got to the point where we can move our services there,” he said. “We used to have services in a hotel.” However, the services at the Pima Inn were meant to be a temporary measure. Azra Hussain, a spokeswoman for the Islamic center, said when the new mosque opened it was well-received. “I really can’t tell you enough how positive it’s been. We’ve been welcomed by the neighborhood,” she said." (SNIP)

One big happy faaaaaaamily.....

1 Dead in Shooting at Luke Air Force Base
Tuesday, February 23, 2010

Print ShareThisA shooting and fatal car crash on Luke Air Force Base in Litchfield, Ariz., have left one person dead and another injured, KSAZ reported.

A security forces officer reportedly tried to talk to two men inside a car, previously reported stolen and then driven through a gate at the base, said Officer Karen Gerardo, the public information officer at the Glendale Police Department.

When the officer got out of his car to try to make contact with the two men, the car drove directly at him. The officer shot at the car, which then crashed, said Gerardo.

One of the occupants of the vehicle was killed. His cause of death has not been determined.

The other person in the car was injured and transported to a hospital.

Investigators do not suspect terrorism, said Gerardo.

Good morning. It continues.

So we don’t yet know who are among the dead?

Praying that it is the terrorist(s) only!

But prayers all day for all our military bases and all our military and really for all our nation!!

No, it's not the Amish, otherwise it would have not been a car but lovely hand built horse drawn carriage and they would not have used guns but bludgeoned their victims with beautiful hand carved and crafted wooden clubs rubbed and varnished into a deep shine.

That just the Amish Terrorist MO...

There’s far more painful truth in that cartoon than humor!

"Ariz. Muslim leaders face increased FBI scrutiny Monitoring grew after charity probe, 2 incidents 138 commentsby Sean Holstege and Dennis Wagner - Nov. 16, 2008 12:00 AM The Arizona Republic The FBI has sharpened its scrutiny of some Phoenix-area Muslim leaders because of their links to two controversial incidents and a federal probe into the financing of terrorist groups. No Arizonan has been accused of supporting terrorist groups or actions. However, a Mesa man was charged with lying to the FBI during the financing investigation. The events that triggered the stepped-up scrutiny were the federal probe into a Muslim charity accused of funneling money to the Palestinian group Hamas; a target-shooting episode in Phoenix this year involving a large group of Muslim men and boys firing hundreds of rounds from AK-47s and other guns; and the high-profile removal in 2006 of six Arizona-bound imams from a jetliner after passengers and crew complained of their behavior. Although some Islamic leaders say they understand the scrutiny, they also view it as another sign that innocent Muslims unjustly fall under suspicion because of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. "Whoever did Sept. 11, go after them and see who they are. I'm not going to pay for them. I'm not going to be guilty," said Marwan Sadeddin, one of the Valley imams who sued US Airways after being removed from a jetliner in Minneapolis. Like the others, he was questioned by FBI agents after the incident, in addition to being questioned about the arrested Mesa man. The FBI is monitoring the family and community ties among Valley residents involved in the jetliner, shooting and charity probes, said John Lewis, who runs the FBI's Arizona office. "All of these things come on our scope," said Lewis, the agency's former head of counterterrorism operations. The FBI routinely watches communities and groups that show patterns of radicalism seen in terrorism cases in the U.S. and Europe; those include radical Islamic theology, anti-Western political rhetoric and fundraising tied to terrorist groups. Lewis declined to discuss any details of the agency's monitoring activities.... "

Since Nov 2008, it’s been a world turned upside down.

NOTHING makes sense.
