Here are some of the latest news on the attack in police officers in Baton Rouge today.
*The shooter was Gavin Long. He is a former Marine who deployed to Iraq. Online media reports are claiming he was a member of the Nation of Islam. He is from Kansas City, Missouri. Several Youtube videos show him in Baton Rouge during the last few days.
*A standoff exists between individuals in his Missouri home and police. A reporter was met at the door of the house by a man holding a rifle when she knocked on the door earlier today.
*The Advocate posted an audio recording of the radio communications between the officers under fire and HQ
on its website. This recording is not for the faint of heart.
*Here is one Youtube video posted by Long on July 12:
He ironically says one should not make decisions based on emotion. He says at 4:00 that the Native Americans were "extincted" and asks at what point should an individual native American stand up for himself. He apparently made the video in Houston.
*"I'm not affiliated with anyone" but "the spirit of justice". He later says he is the one who has to live with his decisions and "my heart is pure".
*"Our religion is justice". He talks about staying non-emotional "until its time".
*Video from Dallas. "Revenue and blood". He uses that phrase several times as he says blacks should stand up to bullies. It was posted on July 10. "I am so powerful because I stand on my rights.... That's why they are so afraid of me". Um, nope.
*Meanwhile, here is one Facebood message posted by one of the deceased officer several days ago:
Gofundme page for Officer Jackson.
*Deputy Brad Garafola:
When Tonja Garafola turned off the interstate to head to B-Quik convenience store on Airline Highway Sunday morning to meet her husband, she ran into a sea of police cars. It was there she discovered he was one of three officers killed by what authorities have identified as a man with a rifle.Brad Garafola, 45, with the East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff’s Office, was working extra duty at the store and his shift had ended at 8 a.m. He was one of three officers killed during a shoot out around 8:30 a.m.It was the last shift Brad Garafola had to work before heading out Monday for vacation plans, Tonja Garafola said.When she got no answer after she tried to call Brad at 8:49 a.m., she knew something was wrong.At their home Sunday afternoon, family and friends gathered to offer support while the television was tuned to ongoing coverage of the tragedy.“Everybody on this street depended on him,” Tonja Garafola said.

Someone was posting on Long's FB page this afternoon, after he was shot. Diatribes about the "egotistical" cops, and that all people should band together to stop the "evil>"
The evil got stopped.
Something is weird about all of this. Like, beyond George Sorros weird.
8:15 I saw that as well; he purportedly had a Twitter account and spewed the same garbage there. Family member/friend/posting from beyond the grave?
Why does this sound like jihad terrorism and less like a BLM killing?
Until we realize that the radical muslims are here among us we will have uprisings like this. How many more innocent people have to die at the hands of these fanatics? Our current leader and wanna be leader want to allow many more radicals to come here and operate their religion within our neighborhoods. It's time a change is made. This is very serious. Baton Rouge is not that far from Jackson .
First, the Nation of Islam isn't really Islam. A professor of mine said "The Nation of Islam is to Islam as Mormonism or Sevwnth Day Adventism are to mainstream Christianity." Elijah Muhammed injected a bunch of his own quirky beliefs into it. (One reason Malcom X and E.M. parted ways. And to this day, Calypso Louie Farrakhan adds a healthy dose of numerology into NOI doctrine.
So I don't think this was a jihad operation in the traditional sense.
This is, however, not surprising in the least. When the Kenyan in the WH has the unmitigated gall to -- at a memorial service for dead cops -- tar all police as racist, his minions see a green light to butcher cops. This hateful man -- who was going to begin some great racial healing process -- has done nothing but sow chaos and discord. Remember: rag head blows people up, or massacres at Ft. Hood, we must jump to conclusions. But if any cop shoots a black man, factual circumstances are irrelevant. Doesn't matter what the perp did. That shooting is the result of racist cops.
He truly is a terrible human being, and his 8 years have wrecked the culture, and given us the 2 worst party nominees of all time.
Fuck, I hate this guy.

And if Hillary follows him it will be four years of Barak in a dress.

Brevity may not be your best talent----But clarity sure is !! Great Post !!
How are the Moors involved in this and why do they insist descendants from slaves are not citizens of the U.S.?
8:44.
Thanks. Sorry for the typos.
7:54 Sad to see the impacts of huffing under-the-sink household items manifest in your posts. Get help soon.

Please explain your comment. How is this statement or "advice" relevant to the the conversation?
It looks like Gavin Long was a member of a Louisiana sovereign citizen group called the Washitaw Tribe that claim to be indigenous to the area and own all the land from the Louisiana Purchase. Look them up - their web page is a hoot.
Seems like I read somewhere he was also a member of Moorish Science Temple of America who believe any descendant of slaves is not an American citizen.
