| Sniper's kit found in search on I-80 | |
| 2004-07-28 | |
| Wait for the punchline. DES MOINES - Michael Wagner lied about his name. He told the trooper who stopped him for not wearing a seat belt that he couldn't find his identification. Then, Iowa State Patrol Trooper Kenneth Haas found a gun, three bulletproof vests, hundreds of rounds of ammunition, a flight simulator and a bag of flight manuals dating to 2001. Wait for it. Haas testified at a federal court hearing Tuesday that he also found a 5-foot telescope hooked to camera equipment, night-vision goggles and a night-vision rifle scope when searching Wagner's sport utility vehicle on July 14 on Interstate 80 near Council Bluffs. The materials, said Assistant U.S. Attorney Richard Rothrock, were "all of the equipment necessary for sniper attacks." Wait for it.
BINGO! | |

| #23 I know dog drool probably necessitates destruction of the copy of the Koran and such, but is the sniper scope still OK to wipe-off and reuse? Can we get a ruling from the nearest Mullah? |

| #18 I just checked the rats ass, it says it doesn't care . I looked at my "Wild West" gun rack on the wall the only thing scoped is a 22 and it's not even sighted in. No sniper rifles here, honestly. |

| #17 Shipman: that must be the sighting scope for the Gerald Bull supergun. |

| #8 Would be a shame if fine people like Mr. Wagner are harrassed by the police (or locals). If they don't give this guy the rubber hose treatment and get some more info we are in sad shape. I wonder which mosque Mr. Wagner attends and who else goes there? This doesn't sound like a one man operation. |

| #7 Now, you people, let's slow down this rush to judgement. It could just as easily have been one of us. In fact, just the other day, I was loading my truck and after tossing in the pipe bombs, cyanide, crudely written suicide note, and lots of porn magazines into the back, I thought, "Damn! This could look really suspicious." |

| #6 "all of the equipment necessary for sniper attacks." Except for a few copies of Soldier of Fortune and Guns & Ammo magazines. |

| #5 "Police dogs were allowed to step on Muslim writings and books" According to his attorney Wagners reaction was to talk about trying to kill the police officers. Its all just a cultural misunderstanding you know. Its perfectly natural in their culture to be provoked to a killing rage over this kind of thing. Anyone else notice another check. Former military? Check! Convicted felon? Check! Minority? Check! My question is how many of them are there out there? How long have the Islamists been targeting people of this profile? Scary. |

| #4 Oh no! More Muslim victims! Will the persecution of these noble people EVER END!!! |

| #3 "all of the equipment necessary for sniper attacks." ---> Suspicious However, I must say that this is also an accurate description of what about 50% of Texas White Males have sitting at home in the gun case. Not sure of the laws in Iowa regarding firearms. |

| #2 There's much more at the link that will cause great seething. For example: "Police dogs were allowed to step on Muslim writings and books, she [Wagner] said." |

| #1 Looks like a duck ----> Check! Walks like a duck ----> Check! Quacks like a duck ---> Check! Muslim ---------------> Check! He's a terrorist! ----> No Check! Sorry! Can't do anything till he kills a bunch of people. And always remember: It's a religion of peace. |
