Not even a description of the perp.

Probably a southern Baptist member of the NRA.

There is a 40% chance that the shooter’s first name is Muhammed.

I suspect one of the “We Want Dead Cops” wackos.

Who else would he be?

Was this someone else inspired by Obama, Holder and Sharpton to execute police officers?

Curious attack, as the city is 75% white. 14% amish. no dreamers and no real concentration of sleeper cell people.

He was upset because the city hadn’t changed its name to New Hope and Change.

A lot of white liberals are part of the “Black Lives Matter” groupies and some of them are seriously deranged.

“His name hasn’t been released.”

They aren’t sure if he did it?

Maybe they are worried about fomenting an anti-name backlash.

The gun used was a hunting rifle. The unraced perp shot thu the council meeting hallway door inside the courthouse.

If you hear the word “alleged gunman”, he’s a protected class lone wolf.
If they just say “gunman”, he’s a Tea Party member drivien to shooting by Talk Radio.

Sheeeeyit. If he's a Tea Partier, we'd not only know his name, we'd know his dog's name.

“Muhammed!”
