#1 Actually, you're wrong.

They _want_ a backlash against Moslems.

That's why they'll _never_ talk about the networks.

#4 My first thought after seeing the news of the shootings was, when will the jihad come out? These guys have such a clear MO that does not conform to ordinary types of criminal behavior. No normal criminal is likely to go looking to ambush a bunch of cops without a strong, direct motive. Faceless, innocent, and relatively helpless victims are the Moslem radical's target. They choose the people with the aim of producing the maximim amount of terror.

#5 well, one article from a very biased online publication is not enough to convince me of that. This guy was a total sociopath, he claimed to be Jesus Christ. The black guys around here arent muslim and if they are there arent many of them ( I live in Tacoma) they're just normal guys who do get profiled a fair bit, and they know this. All in all though we have a very integrated community considering the extreme diversity in Puget Sound. (I digress) But no, I'm not biting on this idea that Clemmons was part of some black brotherhood of Jihad.

#6 Thank you for explaining, 746. Agreed, the descriptions of Mr. Clemens previous behaviours do make him seem rather short of a baker's dozen. Which doesn't prevent jihadi idiots from hailing his actions whether or not he actually shared their peculiar perspective.

#7 I JUST talked with a black guy at lunch about this. He had been profiled and jailed for stabbing an intruder in his house, was charged with 1st degree manslaughter and send away. 3 years later it was proven that he was actually innocent and had killed the intruder in self defense, needless to say he was a bit miffed at the Tacoma cops for throwing him in the can for 3 years, BUT, ( I am going somewhere with this ) he had nothing but praise for the actions that had just taken place in Seattle and was amazed that the single cop was so lucky as to spot the guy creeping up on his patrol car before he got killed as well. They are as prejudice here as anywhere, but this guy realizes it, lives with it, and has moved on, he though me and my buddy were cops! very amusing for me as I'm no where near being a cop ( not to good at peaceful enforcement )

#8 I am glad he was finally proved innocent and released, 746. I didn't realize such things still went on nowadays. (Yes, I live a very sheltered life.) A very interesting perspective indeed, and a useful tale for understanding what happened.

#9 I am still holding out that he "could" be a muslim on some wacko jihad against the cops, but until it's picked up by more reputable outlets I'll wait.
