I hope whoever is responsible for this horrible murder is dealt with severely.

If they are muslim, I see a presidential pardon in their future.

Not yet, it’s at least a 2-1/2 hour drive to the border from Tacoma. I would hope the Canadians are aware and will be watching for two people matching their descriptions.

The officers were sitting in the coffee shop with their computers, the killer walked in and just shot them all.

Actually there is a very large an aggressive, well armed Amish population which has been coddled for years now - they are known to be hostile towards people who practice some other religon and all authorities. Most likely suspects... unless it was by the very vociferoius born-again Christians or the Jewish “Israel First” crowd...

Lakewood is just South of Tacoma and is home to McChord AFB.

I've been to that coffee shop many times.

I can’t believe an American city has a statue of Lenin, (Seattle.) I wish someone would dump it in the sound.

I love your tag line. I’m one of the people who became Canadian again on 4/17. I live in MT and considering a move to Calgary if the US gets any more liberal.

Google map shows this place with a near view of the McCord runway.
It already sounds like a ROP attack. If it is..

Your well written post may be sarcastic....the irony here is that the whole PC thing has gotten so out of hand we can’t protect ourselves from monstors within our midst.
