Shooting at LAX; Updates and Open Thread
by Tammy on November 1, 2013A horrible situation which began at 930am PT this morning. A police press conference earlier did not provide or confirm any specific details, so realize at this early stage there will be lots of wrong and/or conflicting information. There are some reports the shooter was an off-duty TSA targeting other TSA. But now the reports are that he was not a TSA agent. Safe to say no one knows, or they’re just not telling us at this point. This also comes two weeks after the “joke” dry ice bombs placed by LAX airport contractors. There were two arrests made in that case. Many felt that was a dry run to see how airport security would respond to a threat. One...

by Tammy on May 4, 2011This post will be updated as events warrant. UPDATE 130pm PT: [Warning, Graphic] Reuters release OBL death scene photos He tells ’60 Minutes’ as opposed to the American people directly.

New US Citizen From Pakistan Arrested in NY Bomb Plot
by Tammy on May 3, 2010Faisal Shahzad, the man arrested in connection with the New York car bomb plot, became a naturalized US citizen in April, 2009. Almost immediately after gaining citizenship, Shahzad left for Pakistan and returned this February. Thank goodness Obama’s gang was focused on the dangers of Tea Party Patriots while this guy put his car bomb together. No reason at all to follow him around. None at all. Like any other enemy combatant, he should be in CIA custody for interrogation. Instead, according to a report on CNN, he’ll be in criminal court tomorrow in Manhattan. As each day goes on the mindless chaos of this government gets worse. U.S. citizen from Pakistan arrested in Times Square bomb case A man...
