Source: Santa Monica gunman previously hospitalized for mental health (Update: John Zawahri)
CNN ^ | 6/8/13 | Michael Martinez, Susan Candiotti and Miguel Marquez

The gunman's rampage began at a home in this beachfront city, leaving two dead inside. Then he carjacked a woman and fired at a public bus. It all ended when police shot him dead at Santa Monica College as students studied for finals, a mile from the house.

His blood trail, however, left four people dead Friday in Santa Monica, which abuts Los Angeles and is renowned for its liberal openness.

A law enforcement source with knowledge of the investigation told CNN on Saturday that the gunman had suffered mental health issues. A couple of years ago, he was hospitalized for treatment after allegedly talking about harming someone, according to the official.

I don’t believe I heard a PEEP from “the One”?

Nope, none at all.
The city tried to dampen coverage also because of tourism.
Right now, a person would have to be crazy to visit New Orleans for any reason.
It can be just as bad as Chicago on any given day.

Plus RAT mayor who is brother of RAT senator up for reelection in 2014, OBozo ain't going to say peep for lots of reasons besides the obvious.

Just a couple months ago that young man there to teach was gunned down. Awful. Did they ever find the killer?

Re: “White Guy”

The Police and the MSM got even more clever on Saturday.

Now, they call him a male “Caucasian.”

The US Census Bureau categorizes many North Africans, Turks, and Lebanese as “Caucasian,” so technically they are correct.

But, the implication, of course, is that this guy is white European, not Muslim or Arab.

The same thing has been done to USA crime statistics for Hispanics.

About 20 years ago, the FBI combined Hispanic crime statistics with white crime statistics.

Although Hispanic gangs are responsible for a huge amount of violence in many major USA cities, their crimes are attributed to “whites” in the official stats.

His mother is visiting Lebanon - the reason they gave for withholding his name until she was contacted.

Noooo... we don’t need Muslim control. Instead we can simply outlaw guns, box cutters, pressure cookers, fireworks, air travel, blades, rocks, pointy sticks...

And yes... Whether you spell it Zawahri or Zawahiri, or Zowhri, or any of a myriad of ways (using the English alphabet), the name is spelled the exact same way in Arabic as Ayman Al Zawahiri (fmr head of Al Qaeda).

Being that these folks were Lebanese, there’s a probability that the parents were Christian (gave him a Christian name). The son was probably a convert to Islam who then killed his Christian parents before going on his private jihad.

The media wonks were all over this story from the gun angle... until the guy’s name was released... now they have their brooms out and are furiously trying to sweep this story under the rug. Funny how that works, right?
