| #9 "Being gunned down in uniform by a self-described Islamic warrior obviously does not rise to the level of a terrorist act as far as I can tell under this administration," the retired Marine officer said. "... The failure to include the death of a serving U.S. soldier and the wounding of another outside an Army office in America's heartland as a terrorist act by a home-grown jihadist who has ties to Yemen himself is beyond me." It wouldn't be beyond you if you took Obama's basic nature into account. |

| #8 Not a federal case, not terror related? Sounds like denial, cover-up of the circumstances by the feds (Holder?). |

| #7 Little Rock has been a shooting gallery for quite some time now. HBO did a special called Bangin in Little Rock about 20 years ago talking about all the gangs there. |

| #6 The story behind the story is that since Little Rock got a weak kneed, squishy liberal mayor, the place has turned into a shooting gallery. And all the mayor does is stand around, wringing his hands and whining about "Why can't we all just get along?" Which, of course, is interpreted in the bad part of town as open season for drug dealing and homicide. For their part, the police are more than happy to see thugs for the most part kill other thugs. Every now and then, I get clippings of local news from the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, one of the last good, privately owned, classic style newspapers left in the US. Little Rocks bad men are bad. |

| #3 Bledsoe wants to understand how his son turned from middle-class Memphis roots to become a self-described member of al-Qaida What's the matter were there not crips or bloods to join?--oh, they were too respectable. Must be painful for the father. Prayers to him. |
