HOLLISTER, Calif. (AP) -- A law enforcement official says the parents of the man who opened fire in front of the Pentagon warned authorities their son was upset and might have a gun.

After reading an e-mail from their son to an acquaintance, the parents told deputies they were worried that he had purchased a gun.

The fat dyke fails again!
This is an ALL TOO FAMILIAR REFRAIN - "authorities" were warned about the underwear bomber by his father, and they did NOTHING!!! Apparently the same thing here.
How long till they tie this guy to Tea Parties?
More proof that he was a leftist kook. If he was a Tea Party member or rightwinger, HE'D HAVE ALREADY OWNED A GUN!!!
How long till they tie this guy to Tea Parties?
A 9/11 Truther, Anti-Bush, Anti-War nut case tied to the Tea Parties? The media may be dumb but I dont think even they could pull that one off.
How is it that a person who had a Missing Persons report filed for them in California can walk-up to a subway station in Washington, DC without being noticed?
CNN is trying to connect this with anti-govermnent sentiment,which they imply is tied to the tea party.This
guy was just another loser,but you can’t say that nowadays!
Yahoo/AP has just rewritten their headline to remove the 9/11 reference.
He was a Democrat-voting-Bush-hater ... no way he would end up on a DHS Watch List. Now maybe if he had said he believed in the Constitution or something ...
You'd think, but...
John Patrick Bedell: Did right-wing extremism lead to shooting?
I don’t get what you’re saying. I’m sure there are thousands of missing persons reports filed. How would that stop the missing person from doing anything? It’s a large country, with a large population and a large amount of square miles.
Did you even read the article?
The missing person report was filed on January 4, in California. He was stopped in Texas for speeding, and was said to be headed for the East Coast -- which certainly narrows things down to a few million square miles.
So.... The parents are concerned, the guy has a gun, and there's no info on him for two whole months....
And you want the cops to be mind-readers.
Riiiight.
Worse, he was seen in Texas! Obviously he’s a wingnut because he ever stepped foot in Texas
The authorities only respond if they are notified that your teenage son overslept and missed his high school English exam.
Then social services is at your door demanding that you take parenting classes and hire a minder to make up for your lack of responsibility.
I think these types may be becoming unhinged because they actually believed that Obambi was The One. When he can't even figure out how to do Gitmo better than Bush, that makes them go nuts --- if Obambi can't fix the world better than that dumb cowboy from Texas, it's hopeless, I tell ya! Yeah, right. Carry on.
They are simply saying he is angry at the government, which could be understood by people as part of the Tea-party movement.
Or rather, was angry.
