Marine Reservist Charged in 2010 Military Shootings (USMC Recruting center, museum, pentagon)

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Marine Reservist Charged in 2010 Military Shootings (USMC Recruting center, museum, pentagon)

Searched and didn't see anything in GD.

Apparently they found a video of this guy shooting out of his car while driving past the National Museum of the Marine Corps in Quantico. This is the same guy who shot out a window at a USMC recruting center, shot at the pentagon, and shot at the museum twice IIRC. More recently he was arrested after what was originally thought to be ammonium nitrate was found in a backpack in his possession near the pentagon.

Be interesting to hear from Marines who attended boot with him. I am sure he showed no signs of extremism or questionable idealogy that were swept under the carpet for the good of diversity.

He taped himself yelling Allah Akbar while shooting at the various installations. How dumb is that?

I missed that you posted this earlier and updated the thread from last week about this POS.

I must say I am amazed that no one seems to care about this but you have a drunk who was most well known for shoving a toy up his ass kill himself and it generates a dozen pages.
