Dear fellow FReepers,

I got a call from my sister this afternoon with horrible and heartbreaking news. The male hostage that was murdered during the bank standoff was a family relative. His name is Jay Warbington, the son of Phyllis Warbington. She is a cousin of mine on my mother’s side of the family.

I didn’t know Jay very well, but I did enjoy visiting with my cousin Phyllis. My sister tells me that Phyllis is devastated by the loss of her son. My heart breaks for her. She is a Christian women and I hope that she can find solace and comfort through her faith.

It is just so shocking that this has happened. The town of St. Joseph is literally in the middle of nowhere. It is a backwater, about as far “out in the sticks” in rural Louisiana as you can possibly get. But a freakin Islamic Yemini goes berserk there spreading death and sorrow to my family. If it can happen in St. Joseph, it can happen ANYWHERE.

I don’t know what the deal is here, but if I were of a conspiratorial bent I’d say people with schizo like this guy obviously had, would be the perfect ones to commit such types of acts to convince people that “see, it’s not Islam, it’s just crazy people going off” (Ft.Hood workplace violence etc). But then they’d equate all religion as “crazy” and try and ban them all, and so it goes.

Prayers for for Phyllis and Jay's family and friends. May the Good Lord heal their pain, and may they be reunited in eternity in the Lord.

I am certainly no fan of islamists, nor of our mad zeal to import members of this Satan cult onto our shores --- but reading the article, this seems to be a case of someone who was just insane. Islam probably had nothing to do with it (although teaching craziness to someone who is going nuts is not exactly conducive to enhancing one's mental health).

Also, this is a pretty wretched article. Many words, and great sympathy for the murderer, but only a mention of Jay's name - and nothing about him.

Name of the perp: Ahmed. From Yemen. Inbreeding is rampant in muslime nations. And insanity results from inbreeding.

If it can happen in St. Joseph, it can happen ANYWHERE.

Exactly!

This simple truth is why all lawful citizens should be free to carry concealed firearms.

All of us should fight tirelessly against any politician that advocates against law abiding citizens right to bear arms for self defense.

Had your cousin’s son or other person in that bank been carrying a concealed firearm your cousin could be alive and the crazy Yemini would be the only one dead.

Gun control laws cost the lives of the lawful and save the lives of the unlawful.

Can't be certain, as the media oft covers up muslim connections; however, this time his being muslim may not be related to his acts. Story, as reported, rather suggests early schizophrenia, just as in the Gabby Giffords shooter.

Brought to you by the Godless communists.

Using stone age psycho religions to bring down Christianity.


No one bothered to conquer them during WWII because they had nothing worth conquering at that time. Time to finish the war against Fascism!

Yes, the article I linked is very wretched… trying after the fact to paint this subhuman monster as “just a mixedup guy” who otherwise was “just normal”. I found two other articles that were more about the victims and the shocked local residents, but FR blocked my post links apparently because of past copyright complaints… good grief!

Thanks again KC Burke. I can’t imagine the extreme pain my cousin Phyllis is suffering with the death of her son Jay, but the heartfelt thoughts and prayers of my fellow FReepers should help ease that pain…

You are quite welcome and we are all so sorry about your loss. It is so hard to understand the visit of tragedy close to us and to still hold firm we have a loving Presence with us each day. We need the prayers of our FReinds to keep us steady.
