The suspect, a U.S. Army veteran who died in a shootout with police officers, has been identified by the F.B.I. as Shamsud-Din Bahar Jabbar, a U.S. citizen. Law enforcement officials in the latest press conference advised they do not believe that Jabbar was "solely responsible" for the attack.

Still waiting for Trump, Hawley, Green to issue corrections. It will be a long wait and they will double down on the idiocy.

From Fort Bragg.
Also SF officer in Las Vegas visited Fort Bragg.
Wasn't there a "office" shooting at Fort Brag under Obama.
Did you know the assasin in Florida that tried to shoot Trump also visited Fort Bragg.

How much you want to bet the shooter in WI was in contact with someone at Fort Bragg.

Still waiting for Trump, Hawley, Green to issue corrections. It will be a long wait and they will double down on the idiocy.

Do you think America grew this behavior or it was imported?

A better question. If an immigrant brain washes Americans to commit tragedies, is it the immigrants fault or the Americans?

If you say Americans, then why would anyone believe Russia would have an affect on elections?

Some thing is going on, don't know what it is, but its not normal is it?

These stories seem to get more ink than the weekly school massacres, don't they?

You know, more anger and fear.

Oneironaut, I don't understand your premise. Are you saying that Trump et al. are not responsible for what they say and somehow the Russians are? I think they are homegrown knucklehead opportunists.

@#7 ... These stories seem to get more ink than the weekly school massacres, don't they? ...

The school massacres seem to have been "normalized" by the GOP and the NRA.

In Time these kind of attacks will be "Normal" too.

Militarism and Overt support for Genocide has consequences.

These Guys were "Troops".

Is Anyone going to Thank Them for their "Service"?

Don't hold your breath.

The so-called "importing" of these radical behaviors by foreign enemy actors using social media looking to radicalize Americans is not going to stop anytime soon. Especially when one of the to parties here in the US seems to be sucking up to Pres Putin.

The unsettling thing about the bomber dude in Vegas was that he'd been shot in the head prior to the incident, body burned beyond recognition but they managed to find his ID. The Tesla truck can also auto pilot.
