Policeman, "sorta child like"..

As I mentioned on an earlier thread, the use of Policeman be me seens strange. Not at all like a crazy, white male, right wing gun nut talking.

He would more likley say Cop, cops, pig, to many more descriptive adjatives. Policeman??

Seems that while your child like comes close, I would toss in, not being to familiar with writing or speaking English.

What say you?

Yep. Both with inferior education. What about the Tariot? If it belonged to the shooter, would a Muslim have one? That's why I thought a public school teen.

The "dear" part bothers me concerning it being a teenage boy, I must admit. "Dear Policeman" sounds archaic in a way, perhaps it's someone who wants the cops to think it's a teenage boy. In the beginning I was wondering whether it was a ruse to tighten gun control somehow. I still haven't ruled that out in my mind.

The media has a nasty habit of jumping the gun to label such crimes as coming from "right-wing white supremicists". I used to wonder why that was. The only viable explanation is because that is the group the media people fear and loathe the most. So they are very eager to blame them whenever possible, even when the evidence suggests otherwise.

But would God call a policeman a "pig"? ;)

As to the Tarot card, the choice of that particular card is uninspired. Furthermore, it was probably left next to the shell casing by a passerby rather than by the shooter himself. The passerby may know something, but is not willing to testify, does not want to be involved.

When I heard of the Tarot card, I thought it was a joke, a parody of the events. But now that it has been verified, I think there is a witness who will not come forth. Ever, but not because of fear, just because of being one of those who watch our comedy from a distance.

I agree that using "Policeman" is stilted. Something is fishy about that note. It may turn out to be a copycat or fake.
