Remember the woman who was beheaded by a co-worker who had been trying to convert her (and others at their plant) to Islam?

My weird guess, could he have been let go from the station for a similar attempt at converting?

This is just so weird—it was very, very early in the morning. So premeditated—a score to settle type crime.

Possibly going for a rental car. More likely changing cars. Possibly abducting a hostage.

Airport is across street from shopping area: Sams, Kroger, Lowes, etc.

Seems it was originally reported as “Lester” by some outlets, but Vester is correct.

My son has been told by his peers that he is “weird” because he doesn’t use FB.

I guarantee Obama will issue an executive order overturning the Second Amendment, and then he will blame white reporting for provoking the black man to violence.

My employer was incredulous when I told them I didn't have any social media accounts.
