Pentagon shooter spouted minarchist libertarian/conservative rhetoric straight out of Zeitgeist. Terrorist, patriot, or another wingnut gone off the reservation?

I refuse to have an opinion until I hear what Beck and Rush have to say about this.

When I was in the Marine Corps, I used to deliver mail to the Pentagon. That wasn't my MOS, or anything, but our unit was one of many units that would rotate this duty. See, lots of mail tot he Pentagon has to be personally delivered by a Marine to the recipients.

When I went to the Pentagon, there was some pretty big guns right at the entrances: M16s, M4s and MP5s. This was in 2002ish, so it was right after 9/11, but I imagine there's still some mighty weapons there. I can't imagine what would make a person walk up to a place as tightly locked down as the Pentagon and open fire. It must have been suicide by cop. You'd have to be pretty dense to think you could accomplish anything but suicide with an attack like that.

I don't get the Zeitgeist reference. Which Zeitgeist are you referring to? If we're both thinking of the same thing, I don't see how minarchist, libertarian and conservative are applicable.

This guy was confused. Not about his claims - all the quotes in the article are arguably accurate statements about the US government - but about how to interact with the world.

His mistake was a simple one: It turns out that trying to shoot up the pentagon with a pair of handguns doesn't work. This is something he would have been able to predict if he had put some thought into it.

Chris Matthews (afternoon hardball show) just previewed his next segment, and he referred to the pentagon shooting.

sigh - called him a "truther".

I would argue that nearly everyone who gets called a 'terrorist' or a 'patriot' these days is just another wingnut gone off the reservation.

Those two officers, and a third who came to assist, all fired at the man, who was shot in the head and died early Friday. The two wounded officers had superficial injuries and have been released from the hospital.

Crackshot! Way to go boys in blue!
