Oh, please. The cop in NYC was just drunk; he and his buddies had been out drinking all evening, and just before they left the last bar, they topped it off with a couple of rounds of Jack Daniels.

Get a grip, because this makes people here look like hysterical idiots.

The “mental illness” is liberalism.

Best food on the North American continent, IMO.

Amen to that. You have to maintain situational awareness but we've never had a bad time in Nawlins!

“He has a mental illness.”

“Islamus jihadus?”

Either that or plain old liberalism.

It is said that some people being treated for mental illness start feeling like they are doing better and stop taking their medications, leading to horrible actions afterward.
I wonder if that is the case here?

I suppose we'll learn more as time goes on.

Are we gonna find out “White” was his old last name, but now it’s something more Islamic sounding?

No. Sorry to disappoint. Jihadists don’t attack with bug spray.
