Yep, turn on the news.
Single gunman opened up at the El Al ticket counter at LAX, killing one and wounding several before being killed by El Al security. Details are very sketchy. |

Calling this a terrorist attack is premature.
Kind of an alarmist headline, don't you think? |

While the timing and target suggest a particular motivation, I don't think this is a terrorist attack. I think it was one lone nutjob who wanted to do his little part for the "cause".

I agree, wait and see how it shakes out. May be a nut, domestic crime or terror. Too early to call it anything yet. No mater what, this is a very bad thing for gun owners. Things are going to get worse in Cal. And flying is going to be a bigger pain. Amazing how one asshole can screw up the whole country!

The "witness" stated that it was a middle aged, overweight white guy with a pontytail who shouted "Artie (Lang) took my job" while shooting. This is in reference to Artie Lang replacing Jackie Martling on the Howard Stern show. |

He'd be a nut job regardless of his description. Is there a gun control vote coming up in the next week or two in cali or congress? Watch for news that the guy was on "anti-depressant" drugs.

Quoted: Quoted: While the timing and target suggest a particular motivation, I don't think this is a terrorist attack. I think it was one lone nutjob who wanted to do his little part for the "cause". Isn't that the definition of a terrorist attack? Only if you're looking for an excuse to call someone a terrorist and to describe their actions as an attack, which presumes a substantial target. This is likely the kind of person we would describe as a criminal, committing murder. I suggest "Animal Farm" and/or "1984" for those who are quick to label people as terrorists, and let the government take further actions to prevent "terrorism". |

In all likelihood this was nothing more than a violent crime [b]that just happened[/b] to take place at LAX's El Al terminal. If the same thing had happened at El Al terminals - or any airline terminals - across the country, then I'd say the terrorist attack headline would be called for. |

So far the suspect has been described by witnesses as a caucasian man. He walked in randomly shooting and it has been confirmed that El Al security returned fire and killed him. Two dead, the suspect and an elderly woman, and 4 injured so far. The airport is completely shut down for now, if you had LAX destination plans forget them for now.

from communist news network (CNN)
"At this time, there's no reason to believe the incident is terrorist-related," said Lt. Horace Frank, an LAPD spokesman. Information is still sketchy and the investigation is still in its earliest stages, he said. The Tom Bradley International Terminal was shut down, said Los Angeles Police Department spokesman Alex Baez. Everyone inside was evacuated. Thousands were seen streaming out of the terminal and traffic was stopped outside. Police cars, ambulances, and fire engines lined the road. Frank said 911 operators received the first call at approximately 11:30 a.m. (2:30 p.m. EDT), saying a suspect opened fire on an individual near the El Al counter. The suspect in turn was killed by El Al security personnel, but other "innocent bystanders" were shot and some were seriously wounded. Thad Weimlein, who was checking into his flight on Korean Air, heard an initial barrage of between eight and 10 shots, before it paused. Then the firing resumed, he said. "People were running and screaming and hitting the floor," Weimlein said. "There were a number of plainclothes policemen who pulled out their guns and badges at the same time." After it was over, officers asked everyone in the area of the international ticket counters to file outside, he said. |

It must have been that guy Captain Janks from the Howard Stern Show. He calls into various news shows during "breaking news" type situations and spews hoaxes. He's gotten away with some outrageous stuff like calling in to Brian Williams' MSNBC show after the Princess Diana crash and screaming "baba booey" over and over until he got cut off.

A LAX employee was just interviewed saying that he saw what happened. An older man, 50-60, was seen just a few minutes earlier frantically arguing with El Al employees. He suddenly pulled a gun out and started shooting. One El Al employee was hit, he then began firing at everyone. El Al security quickly returned fire and killing the suspect.

My Prediction:
In light of this new attack, Sen. John McCain (D-AZ) and Sen. Joe Lieberman (D-CT) will announce a new Bipartisian proposal to: 1) Close the "gunshow loophole" once and for all, to reduce the flow if illegal guns into terrorists hands here at home. 2) Begin efforts to replace the soon-to-sunset AW ban with a larger, more comprehensive bill to combat the growing usage of firearms in domestic terrorist attacks. 3) Push for widespread FBI accessibility to 4473s and NICS in the hunt for terrorists who are buying guns and dealers supplying those weapons. It's almost like it's being orchestrated, eh? |

[:E] Israeli "Air Marshall"? If he is authorized to "pack on-board" there is probably some agreement that he can be in the El-Al airport area, armed, as well. In any event who is gonna tell him to give up the gun?? Good thing he was there. I think since it happened in a very "weapon controlled" area, in a State that has the toughest gun laws............ we could say.......... you know.......... |
