He would not have to be. He was telling others on national TV to do that work for him.
Specifically targeted 2 National Guardsmen then tried to off himself, prolly ROP raghead.
Union thugs would be still sleeping on the job or taking their “contract” 2 hour break.
The shooter is either a left-winger or islamic because they are releasing no information on him at all ...
