The slain hostage was identified by the sheriff as Jay Warbington.

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 mothers side of the family.
I didnt 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.
Sorry for your family’s loss. Prayer’s up.
Perpetrator is a Muslim
but the media only makes it news if it is a white man killing a black
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.
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.
I’m so sorry for your loss- prayers to you and your family.
Prayers up for the whole family!
Name of the perp: Ahmed. From Yemen. Inbreeding is rampant in muslime nations. And insanity results from inbreeding.
And prayers up.
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 cousins 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.
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!
Condolences to you and your family. May he rest in peace.
Thanks FRiends for keeping Jay and his loved ones in your thoughts and prayers.

Prayer’s called for a Freeper’s extended family.
Thanks again KC Burke. I cant 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.
Logan’s Prayer Warriors....I wish I didn’t have to ping you to this!!! Synthesist and family are in desperate need of our prayers.

Prayers for you, your cousin Phyllis and family. Thank you for posting. How terribly sad. May God surround Phyllis with an abundance of peace and comfort in the coming days as she faces each new day without her son.
