I wonder why? Maybe to give the commie libs and their toads on MSN and CNN enough time to blame it on whitey and the TEA Party.

Authorities kept his name from the public for several hours but within the first few minutes identified him over and over and over as a white male...

This sounds--for once--like a crazy guy who happens to be a (likely) Muslim, but was not a jihadi. Just my opinion based on available facts, but we'll learn more.

With a name like John, I'm not sure you can say he was a Muslim.

His brother is named Christopher..this is his younger brother John, who today would have turned 24 years old, guess he wanted to go out with a bang..the police may have made the same mistake that occurred in Newtown after the shooting, Adam Lanza had ID from his brother and he was initially ID’d as the shooter but it was his brother

Not only that, what's up, but it's proof positive we need more so-called "gun control."
