Oh dear. According to “The Guardian”:
It is believed that the van he is driving could be a vehicle sold on eBay earlier this month as a “Zombie Apocalypse Assault Vehicle and Troop Transport”.
“It’s full armor plated and has bullet proof windows just in case you run into other zombie hunting hordes who might try to take this bad boy from you,” the sale listing said.
Well, thanks again Texas, for proving me with free entertainment. As if I don’t get enough here in Arizona.
The armoured vehicle in question has Georgia plates.
The Guardian has recently been my go-to for coverage of events in the US, esp. McKinney. I don’t know how they manage to frequently scoop US papers.
Well then, let’s give it up for GA [Home of Lester Maddox] too.
Where’s Truman Capote when you need him?
Last night I saw Lester Maddox on a TV show
With some smart-ass New York Jew
And the Jew laughed at Lester Maddox
And the audience laughed at Lester Maddox too
Well, he may be a fool but he’s our fool
If they think they’re better than him they’re wrong
So I went to the park and I took some paper along
And that’s where I made this song
Randy Newman ¨Rednecks¨
From Dallas Morning News:
The man identified himself as James Boulware, 50, who has a history of family violence and blames authorities for his losing custody of his son, Dallas police Chief David Brown said.
The gunman said he was going to blow up police because they “took his child and accused him of being a terrorist,” Brown said.
Authorities cautioned that they have not confirmed the man is who he says he is. But in 2013, police in Paris, Texas, said they arrested James Lance Boulware after he obtained firearms, ammunition and body armor before threatening to attack his family, churches and schools. Police said then that he was taken into custody on two felony warrants from Dallas County.
However, it appears the case against him was dismissed last year after he fulfilled requirements imposed on him by a court. http://www.dallasnews.com/news/local-news/20150613-update-standoff-follows-dallas-police-headquarters-shooting-as-bomb-squad-destroys-explosives.ece
We know what Abbot’s response will be. He will call for removal of all gun restrictions!
Dallas Police accusing a white man of being a terrorist???
I’m shocked, I tell you, I’m shocked!
The Guardian’s been great in filling in the background of these stories. They’re the ones I believe who first reported that the person who called 911 in McKinney had spent time in jail for ¨violent behaviour and animal torture.¨
Nothing says “I’m not a terrorist” like trying to blow up police headquarters.
How badly will this delay Jade Helm? We can’t leave all those FEMA trailers empty forever!
(Seriously now) Let me guess, it is just one lone nut with so many weapons it seemed like an army?
Seen the photo:
Well, he seems nice…esp. the attractive scowl.
Jade Helm effect…
Interesting thought considering news reports that the van had “gun ports” and was armored somehow or other.
But how many guns can a guy shoot at any one moment?
According to conservatives, the proliferation of guns should reduce crime.
Ain’t happening. In fact, the proliferation of weaponry increases violence.
OK, so this guy’s a dangerous nutcase, known to the police, etc., etc. But the unanswered question is, where, FFS, did he find several other people to help him with his crusade? ChristianMingle.com?
Limbaugh listening party
You’d be surprised. I’ve seen YouTube prepper videos where they had remote controlled bunker guns.
That scowl is from the mugshot after he was arrested for chocking his mother at a family reunion
Yikes!
From the video I’ve seen of this it’s hard to tell who is shooting at whom. Or how many “bad guys with guns” there are.
