From the pictures it looks like Fruaed Ahmed has traveled widely - California, Louisiana, and probably many places in between ... what could the motive be? Broken heart? Rejected by a girl? Or ... Allah Akbar?

It’s in a “Parish” not a county, therefore and ergo it is Louisiana.

It said he had voices in his head. He yelled at the police to take the device out of his head that made the voices.

where is this

St. Joseph, LA is a river town on the west bank of the Mississippi, about halfway down the portion of Louisiana where the river serves as the LA/MS border (above the "toe of the boot").

If the jihadist crowd is there, it's officially everywhere.

Another Muslim with organic schizophrenia. A thousand years of inbreeding and self-selecting for sociopathic tendencies makes them far more likely than other groups to have that, among other problems.

Another terrorist attack that the fed will ignore.

See here

"UPDATE #6: The Natchez Democrat says that the gunman is, in fact, of the family who owns the Trak. A local rumor forwarded to us said that he’d made a threat to blow up the nuke plant if his demands weren’t met. We’d say that’s unlikely, but it’s not completely crazy – after all, why St. Joseph? And that’s what the people in that area got freaked out about. In the audio of Col. Mike Edmonson’s presser that can be found at the Natchez paper’s web site (part one here, and part two here), he seems to want to defuse the idea of the second individual who was arrested trying to rush the scene, saying that was a relative who was “trying to help.” Edmonson also indicates the incident is “limited” to the bank. But the presence of the FBI and the U.S. Marshals on the scene is perhaps indicative of something more, though hardly dispositive. And Edmonson’s statement that more and more assets will be surged to the scene over the next several hours is at least somewhat peculiar – there are already 100 cops on the scene and they need more? For one gunman? Things that make you go hmmm… "

I was wondering how close that nuke plant was to this town. Damn.

Well, maybe the Yemenis just like Delta blues music. Yeah, that must be it.
