Chattanooga shootings

Post by Rod »

Been an incident in Chattanooga, seems someone is potshotting recruiting stations. My son lives 10 miles down the road in Cleveland, TN and has told me the whole town is on lockdown. TSP said there were several shooting sites.

Shooter was a white guy. Place your bets as to the shooter's reason d'etre.

A white guy named Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez? I think I know what number my "why he did it" chips are on.

Also now being reported that ISIS tweeted about the attack 5 minutes before it started. Obama will call it domestic terrorism. SIGH! Keep your guns close and your powder dry guys, we're in for a bumpy ride.

A few more Marines to guard the streets of heaven. :(
