Jennifer Griffin on Fox is reporting that intelligence officials have been aware of Chechen (sp?) mercenaries joining Al Qaeda in Iraq and fighters in Afghanistan to oppose US forces.

 

It sounds like he was killed because the suspects saw him calling the police.

How is the officer being a hero debatable?

 

He really hates Liverpool FC.

 

The suspects were throwing bombs out of the car at the police chasing them. Crazy.

The older brother who died in the hospital had bullet wounds and shrapnel in his body.

 

Looks like these guys were super amateurs. Robbed a 7-11, identified themselves as the bombers to the victim of the car-jacking. Seems ****ing dumb. Hope they **** up again soon

 

And guns. But he loves cheese.

 

So this is domesticated affair?

 

The tweets about gun control and conspiracies....wth

 

That anti-gun post he retweeted is so stupid. Shows a picture of guns from Call of Duty and says they are legal in the United States.

It all doesn't seem to make a lot of sense. Hopefully not trying to distract from something else.

 

Do you really want me to continue with my cynical sense of humor?

Background story- My sister passed away in 06 and at her funeral I was crying. Some lady came up to me and said everything is going to be okay. I told her, "Oh no I am just here for the Bud Light."
