Usually, we have to play “Guess that party!” In the case of the Kansas City shooter, we get to play “Guess his motive!”
Police would link at least 12 such attacks to the same .380-caliber weapon before they ultimately arrested 27-year-old Mohammed Pedro Whitaker. On Thursday, they swarmed his home in the south Kansas City suburb of Grandview, where a tributary of highways converge and where many of the attacks had happened.
In Whitaker’s home, police said, they found a .380-caliber handgun. After weeks of fear, they told the press they had their man, and not longer after, Whitaker was charged with 18 felonies. (It’s not clear if Whitaker, who has not entered a plea, has a lawyer, and he is being held in lieu of $1-million bond.)
No motive has been publicized, and police declined to speculate.
Emphasis added. I’m sure they decline to speculate, but the rest of us are under no politically correct strictures to do so.
I wonder if that’s the name on his birth certificate? Am I allowed to ask questions like that?
“Emphasis added.” — The entire quote is in regular italics. I didn’t notice what was emphasized, unfortunately.
The stupid style sheet italicizes entire blockquotes. I need to fix that.
The name Mohammed has nothing to do with the Religion of Peace.
Another ardent supporter of the “Religion of Peace” tm, I see…
Sorry, forgot my sarcasm tag.
Actually, I think we posted that at the same time. I didn’t see your post till after I hit the post button. 😉
Countdown to Bobby-I can win an argument with you on the topic of Islam whining about using a broad brush and trying desperatly to un-twist his panties…
As for the “Mystery shooter”, this case has a lot of similarities to the “DC Sniper” case… including that of first names. What a coincidence…
It’s all just a misunderstanding based on spelling! Islam isn’t the the Religion of Peace (TM), it’s the Religion of Piece(s)!
But, Rand, no, you’re not allowed to speculate as to motive… unless, of course, based on no evidence whatsoever you try to pin it on the tea party… /sarc
Actually, in the DC shooter case, he’d changed his last name, I think.
To shamelessly plagiarize Mel Brooks:
We just want peace. A piece of America, a piece of Europe…
