Me too, but shotgun doesn’t sound like a muzzie’s MO. I would have expected AK or AR shells instead of 12ga.

This morning's Kentucky Standard (our 3 day a week Bardstown paper) had a little more to say on the matter, but methinks info is being withheld until they get the guy.

The police chief was pretty blunt. There may not be an expensive trial in the works.

“I can assure you, we won’t give up on this person or persons until we have them either in our custody, or in the front sight of one of our weapons, and I personally hope the latter is the choice,” the chief said.

You’re probably right. I thought the same thing-—but who knows at this point.

I don’t remember the case but a shotgun is certainly capable of killing. Around here we use them to kill deer and they’re good sized critters.

They probably would do it if they thought of it.

It wasn’t a Muzzie. Not in Bardstown/Nelson Country.

police get to make threats when one of them goes down.

regular citizen does and the very same come and deem you a vigilante threat.

i just wish they looked and treated every regular citizen the way they treat ach other.

Another odd part is it happened in what would normally be a busy highway. I would never set up an ambush near an off ramp of a major highway unless it was dark.

The article said early morning. Maybe it was in the very early morning before light.

There is a training camp down in this neck of the woods south of me about 20 miles as the crow flies for moslems. The Sheriff, in that area, has been raising the alarm for the past three or four years. No doubt of your words. Their numbers are on the rise. Am noticing an uptick, in their numbers, also.

This would follow the Ca. incident MO, if this was a moslem. Early morning ... moslem shoots two people at or near his home, then goes onto freeway shooting at more people.
