…what I was thinking. 75% of America ‘trains children to ‘commit’ shootings’. Where are the details to this story?

Guns don’t kill people, children kill people.

Random thoughts:

  1. In that photo, at that angle and from that distance, the home looks like one of those “earth ships” that I saw years ago outside of Taos.
  2. At what point does a “home” or a “house” become a “compound”?

In my experience, two groups of people have “compounds” - the WASP-ish elite (eg Kennebunkport or Hyannis Port) and outsider groups, often described as cults (eg David Koresh, LDS polygamists, Rajneeshpuram).

My money is on the second category in this case :wink:

All it takes to stop a bad guy with a compound is a good guy with a compound.

what’s up with the sheriff’s disconnect, especially after the florida shootings?

I went by that neighborhood last September while working a tour out there and took some pics. You’re talking about the one not far from the bridge over the gorge right? Most of them were pretty cool looking, the one here in the pic looks pretty scrappy in comparison.

who could kill a three year old? who could kill a child? who could kill anyone?’
These heart braking stories, I can’t think about them and carry on.

I think this story may end up completely different from what’s being reported now.

Christ, the guys name is Siraj Ibn Wahhaj and he was training children to commit school shootings?

I think I can hear 4CHAN masturbating from here.

Seems possible. The facts as reported wouldn’t have to change either.

Regardless a better headline given what appears to be known would be “Man Arrested At New Mexico Compound Trained is Accused of Training Children To Commit Shootings”

The child wasn’t positively identified but we get his name and are told that he’s Wahhaj’s son?

WTF? Does anyone proofread here? I mean, cut and paste AP info as you will, but at least try to make sense of it, TPM.

But at least their second amendment rights weren’t being violated. Isn’t that the most important thing?
