Was the shooter a minion of Mohammed?....I don’t think so. He was from KOO-Koo County, PA. Just a regular a-hole. Probably too much exposure to Yuengling beer.

Did find out from the Daily Mail Online that he said as he walked up to the Secret Service that he “wanted to die”. He’s a 30 year-old guy from a high unemployment rural area.
