The shooters said they were starting a revolution.
At least three people have been killed in a shooting involving Las Vegas police officers, authorities say.
Las Vegas police spokesman Larry Hadfield told The Associated Press that the spree began around 11:30 a.m. Sunday when a man and woman walked into CiCi's Pizza restaurant on North Nellis Boulevard and shot two officers who were eating lunch.
The suspects took the officers' weapons and ammunition before storming out of the pizzeria, Assistant Sheriff Kevin McMahill told KVVU Fox 5.
Investigators say the two suspects fled to the Walmart across the street, where they shot a person inside and then killed themselves. Police and a SWAT team were dispatched to the scene, KVVU Fox 5 reports.
Hadfield said one of the suspects yelled, "This is a revolution," but the motive for the shooting remains under investigation.

As I recall, the Manson murders (Tate-Labianca) were supposed to start a revolution, too. Helter Skelter and all that.

Short-lived revolution. The two shooters were real nutjobs. The Las Vegas Review Journal had a piece on this: Story. The Review Journal rushed to judgement on this story--white supremacists, Nazis-like group, had white supremicists paraphenalia, etc., the approach the MSM loves when firearms are involved. At this point, it doesn't sound like anyone knows who they were and what they were about. One of them yelled something about "revolution" during their spree. They could have been left-wing nutjobs but there was not the least hint of this in the possibility in the story.

The Review-Journal reported that the pair covered the officers with a cloth that featured the Gadsden flag, which features a coiled snake with the words "Don't Tread on Me."
You can bet the MSM will run with this to blame it on the Tea Party.

Guarantee they will CF. The media will do everything they can, including lying and making up facts to link these idiots to the tea party and the right however they can.

Appears the male element of the group was a convicted car thief, and his Sierra Oscar was just plain crazy. The militias at the Bundy Ranch knew them in passing, but sent them packing before they were even allowed onto the property.
Whataya, hard of hearing? I SAID, get off the property and don't come back, WHACK! WHACK!
A Maryland dad likely won't see any charges after he struck a local teacher with a baseball bat.
Police say the dad saw a series of texts on Thursday between the 42-year-old teacher and his daughter, a 15-year-old student. The girl's mother deemed them "inappropriate for a teacher and a student" to be sharing, News Net 5 reports. Investigators didn't agree and never charged the teacher with a crime, but the situation took a downturn later that day when the unidentified teacher showed up at the girl's house.
He wanted to speak to the girl's father, but was told to leave, CBS local reports. When he refused, the dad reportedly whacked him with a baseball bat. The teacher sustained minor injuries.
Police arrived at the Nottingham home at about 9:45 p.m., but the teacher didn't press charges.

I suspect the investigators couldn't release the text even if they wanted to - privacy laws and all that.
That wouldn't prevent the parents from doing so - unless the teacher threatened charges if they did.
Would any charges stick after he refused the leave?

Just remember, Catholic priests are the great danger children face (made up fact). Our glorious public school system will solve everything. As long as the solution involves indoctrinating the kids, more public employees, and higher taxes.

[AnNahar] Pro-Russian rebels fighting Ukraine's Western-backed government have launched their most serious attacks yet on Lugansk International Airport in the east of the country, a military source said Sunday.
The assaults, which took place Saturday evening and Sunday morning in the immediate wake of the inauguration of Ukraine's new President Petro Poroshenko, did not result in any injuries among the defenders, he said.
"It was clear the rebels were trying to destroy the building which controls the power supply to the airport," said the source, one of the Ukrainian paratroopers guarding the airport, talking to Agence La Belle France Presse by telephone.
"It's the first time we have had an attack of this kind. Up till now, we've only had a few skirmishes," said the soldier, who identified himself only as Sergiy.
Pro-Russian separatist proclaimed the independence of the "Lugansk People's Republic" in May, at about the same time as the neighboring "Donetsk People's Republic."
The two districts have been the scene of ceaseless fighting between Ukrainian forces and pro-Russian turbans that have killed more than 200 people since mid-April.
When approached by AFP, a front man for the "Lugansk People's Republic" could not confirm the assaults on the airport, which has been closed for the past month because of the instability in the region.
The airport is one among very few areas in the Lugansk not controlled by the separatists, who have taken over most of the cities, set up numerous roadblocks and recently seized several checkpoints on the border with Russia.
The international airport at the nearby city of Donetsk briefly came under rebel control late last month.
The Ukrainian authorities took it back in severe fighting that cost the lives of dozens of fighters, mostly of Russian nationality, according to a report issued by Donetsk murderous Moslems.

Gowdy is right - and typical that the OP establishment didn't support the bill that gives Congressional reps the right to take the president to court over his refusal to obey or enforce a specific law. Since Reagan, the Presidency has become more and more powerful, and the Conress does not have sufficient power to bring him to heel - only impeachment. Assaid, thats punishment, not enforcement. This law is needed in order to bring presidential power under some form of control. And that whether its a D or an R.
In early 2012, members of the hacking collective Anonymous carried out a series of cyber attacks on government and corporate websites in Brazil. They did so under the direction of a hacker who, unbeknownst to them, was wearing another hat: helping the Federal Bureau of Investigation
A year after leaked files exposed the National Security Agency's efforts to spy on citizens and companies in Brazil, previously unpublished chat logs obtained by Motherboard reveal that while under the FBI's supervision, Hector Xavier Monsegur, widely known by his online persona, "Sabu," facilitated attacks [by "Anonymous"] that affected Brazilian websites. They got used. Fools. I wonder if the little Fawkes-mask wearing hoodlum anachist-wannabees will realize just how much of a tool they are - undoubtedly Putin used them too. That's right Anonymoustards, Im laughing at YOU. The professionals will get you in the end.
