This incident, per MO, will be a lone shooter, lone wolf, you know the drill.
In my view after OKC the FEDS should have dealt with the Militia issue, PERIOD, and that one was as clear as can be. Yes, both Timothy McVeigh and his partner had at the very least very clear associations with the Michigan Militia.
The fact that this was not done, either speaks of incredible cowardice on the part of the Federal Government, or INTEL that they were stronger than many of us give them credit for. Thus Mine Resistant Vehicles up the ying yang might be the explanation. But I have noticed a pattern... even when a shooter has certain ties... they are ALWAYS lone wolves.
Well, yes I am jumping there for the moment, if it happens to be that this shooter was a militia member, count on it... lone wolf, because we are too cowardly as a nation, or rather our political class is, to deal with this.
And yes, it also speaks, and not in any glowing term, about the political power of a small group of very loud people.
Oh and all the arguments we had after the Aurora shooting, I guess will have to go and copy and paste, since yes... THEY WILL BE BACK... alas this is not just about guns... but ... a culture. So all I gotta say is it is time to put precious behind the priorities of the country, not ahead. But the report from DHS early in the administration about the far right, that had to be removed, speaks volumes.
