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.
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 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.
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 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.
Condolences to you and your family. May he rest in peace.
Prayer’s called for a Freeper’s extended family.
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.
Synthesist, I’m so VERY sorry to read this!!
KC, thanks for the ping.
This is just sad. May the Holy Spirit comfort your family.
I’m beginning to believe that some ingredient in food or drink is causing men in this country to go beserk. I can see no other reason that we have every day, seemingly normal, men (not known murderers/serial killer types) going around killing innocent people like we’ve seen in recent years.
God help us!
So sorry for your family’s loss. Prayers up.
Prayers for Phyllis and her family and friends.
