Shooting at LAX, several injured....

[glock rocks]

bump !

[brydic1]

You may be right, I hope so. But why can they just not state that they can not release any details as of yet, instead of stating that "no evidence of terrorism and only an isolated attack". Will make them look so stupid later on if it is an act of terrorism. Also reports that FBI stated that the shooter was 52 yrs old, but they can not identify his name, ethnicity, citizenship, etc. They are so unbelievable.

CNN reporter Charles Feldman, the guy on the spot at LAX, stated he just "inadvertantly" saw a piece of paper with FBI profile of perp. Between ages 35-40, around 200 lbs. and and ARAB!

Thanks Saber. Any information as to who the guy was and why he did it? I just came back so I don't know much about it.

[Euro-American Scum]

I missed this one and I've been watching the news like a total couch potato(e)...can you give a link or specifics?

I heard this on KNX radio 1070 about a half hour before Hahn had his televised press conference, at which he did make a remark about there being too many guns and how we had to do something to get the guns off the street. That one was on Fox News.

America must wake up, and soon!

[Euro-American Scum]

Nobody could be safe in his city!

And if Hahn has his way, nobody will be.

[CedarDave]

CNN reporter just said he saw an FBI report(accidently) that says hte suspect was an arab male 30-45

The captured suspect or the dead suspect??

(BTW -- been reading your San Antonio posts -- good work)

[cgbg]

This FBI guy is freaking clueless

After we watched this guy my wife asked me what the weather forecast was. I told her that it was too early to tell, that I had an investigation to complete that would take some time, but as soon as I could identify the weather I would let her know. ;-)

If this guy is anything more than a janitor for the L.A. FBI office we are all in deep deep trouble. :-(

[MinuteGal]

As I stated in a much earlier reply, I still maintain they will announce who the shooter is only after countrywide celebrations are over, which in the case of the giant LA fireworks show could be after midnight. Lots of money and pride at stake.

However, since word is leaking out that it's an Arab, the FBI's hand may be forced to release it earlier. We'll see.

Speaking of which, where ARE all the usual suspects? Maybe we should have a roll call to see who's conspiciously missing?
Oh, my!

[Euro-American Scum]

nope, it is those damned guns. the moron. and red davis backs him up.

I was waiting for Davis to rubber stamp all this in his "me too", "talking head" fashion. I'm surprised he didn't blame it on evil whilte heterosexual males, the mean-spirited Republican Congress, greedy Enron executives and George W. Bush!

I only saw one press conference with Davis looking irritated because he was interrupted from his designated 4th of July beach cleanup. Did you hear him say anything about gun control?

CNN is interviewing Yoval Rotem, Israel Consul-General, right now: in his opinion, this was a terrorist act.

[newsperson999]

the dead one

[Little Bill]

And it happens on the first July Fourth following 9-11.

...and had one or more perps.

[christine]

we've been in deep, deep trouble for a very long time.

imagine the ineptitude when it's a low profile case!

**arm every american who wants to be**

let us be responsible for defending ourselves!

Also reports that FBI stated that the shooter was 52 yrs old, but they can not identify his name, ethnicity, citizenship, etc. They are so unbelievable.

Read another report that the perp had no ID on him whatsoever-- if so, that clearly indicates a mindset of a criminal... they may not know, or it may be an act.

I personally think they know a lot more than they're telling...just to put the bad guys off guard.

[glock rocks]

Did you hear him say anything about gun control?

no, but his full support of haun said enough in that vein.

CNN is interviewing Yoval Rotem, Israel Consul-General, right now: in his opinion, this was a terrorist act.

Seems like a stretch that some random whacko would chose El Al to shoot up on 4th of July. Hey, but if Gray Davis and Jim Hahn assure us this wasn't a terrorist act, well, by God, that's good enough for me.

They'd never lie to us, you see. < / sarcasm >

[Cachelot]

Someone has ID'ed him....if they have his age.

Not necessarily. They could have sawed him in two and counted the growth rings... oh, wait.. for that to work it would have to have been... never mind.
