Cheese.

[AmericanCheeseFood]

Oh and he's dead .

[smith288]

He died.... Confession isnt an option.

[KillerWabbit]

Still seems odd how slow the news about the attacker's ethnicity has trickled out.

U.S. Govt. - "Move along ... nothing to see here"

One down & millions to go.

It's early in the game.

''We're in the early stages of the invest but we do not believe at this time that is related to terrorism,'' said Susan Dryden, spokeswoman for the U.S. Department of Justice.

Can anyone here give me a credible reason to believe that our government is not simply and totally incompetent? Good grief, it doesn't matter if he's in osama's "official" gang or not; a guy with a Middle Eastern accent stabs a Greyhound bus driver and yanks the steering wheel to crash the bus, kills ten more Americans in the process, and our government doesn't think it's related to terrorism? I long ago lost faith in the political establishment, but until recently I did have more confidence in the law enforcement mechanism. It's quickly deteriorating.

Here we go again. The perps are identifiable before the acts occur. When are the authorities going to act?

More dis-info from Fox they are reporting he is alive at least were reporting that on the ticker.

Once again we have proof about what happens when something is declared a victim disarmament zone. This insanity has to stop now! One armed American could have help stop this. When is corporate America going to get a spine and stand up to the liberals that would sooner soil themselves than have armed Americans in the seat next to them? Our local bus service also prohibits firearms, even with a CCW. It just doesn't make any sense. But then again, liberals never do make any sense.

Son of Osama!

[AmericanCheeseFood]

Agreed, enforcement is starting to become more and more PC .

Stupid liberals and the fact there's now a police union has something to do with this I suspect .

Cheese .

''We're in the early stages of the invest but we do not believe at this time that is related to terrorism,'' said Susan Dryden, spokeswoman for the U.S. Department of Justice.

Uh, Susan, you mean you just leapfrogged right over suspicion into "not believing"?

I think this could be a real way to get around any FBI profiling or to avoid the suspicion of average Americans. A blue-eyed fair skinned Muslim terrorist from Croatia or Bosnia would be the ticket.
