Oh, not every day yet? Sunday is a day of rest, even for the paranoid, [WHOOOPS! (1245PDT 9 June 2014) Weird wknd.; confused the date & day, thought 8 June was Saturday. So, Seventh-Day Adventist/Hebrew-style, Sat. as day of rest, & these events transpired Sunday — M.B.] still this was really enough for the wknd.
Other than all the guns.A law enforcement official who has been briefed on the incident said an officer — unconfirmed reports indicate it was Soldo — was refilling a soft drink when the female shooter approached him from behind and shot him in the head, killing him instantly.
The woman then shot the other officer several times as he drew his pistol. Gillespie said the officer was able to return fire but it was unclear if he hit anyone.
One officer was reported dead at the scene, while the other died later in surgery at University Medical Center.
Witnesses told police one of the shooters yelled “This is the start of a revolution” before shooting the officers. Gillespie later said he could not confirm that.
The shooters then stripped the officers of their weapons and ammunition and badges, according to a law enforcement official with knowledge of the investigation. They then covered the officers with something that featured the Gadsden flag, a yellow banner with a coiled snake above the words, “Don’t tread on Me.”
The flag is named for Christopher Gadsden a Revolutionary War general who designed it. It has recently come back in vogue as an adopted symbol of the American tea party movement.
The shooters left the pizza parlor and headed into the Wal-Mart across the street at 201 North Nellis. Witnesses at the scene reported hearing shots fired in quick succession inside the Wal-Mart.

A woman was shot and killed just inside the front doors of the Wal-Mart. Her name has not yet been released.
As Metro officers entered the front and back doors of the store they exchanged gunfire with the shooters, Gillespie said.
The female shooter then shot her accomplice at least once before shooting herself in the head, a law enforcement official said. The wounded man then shot and killed himself. Their identities have not been released by police.

Brandon Monroe, 22, has lived in the complex for about two weeks. He said the man who lived in the apartment that was being searched often rambled about conspiracy theories. He often wore camouflage or dressed as Peter Pan to work as a Fremont Street Experience street performer. A woman lived with him, Monroe said, but he didn’t see her as often.
They were weird people, Monroe said, adding that he thought the couple used methamphetamine.
“The man told Monroe he had been kicked off Cliven Bundy’s ranch 80 miles northeast of Las Vegas while people from throughout the U.S. gathered there in protest of a Bureau of Land Management roundup of Bundy’s cattle.” Jessica Anderson, 27, said. She lived next door.
Reached Sunday, the rancher’s wife, Carol Bundy, said the shooting and the April standoff against the federal government were not linked.
“I have not seen or heard anything from the militia and others who have came to our ranch that would, in any way, make me think they had an intent to kill or harm anyone,” Carol Bundy said.
Hey, y'know who else likes the snake flag? The National Knife Association, of course.
Really, what is this nation coming to when this reporter somewhat sympathizes w/ police officers, if not w/ "the police?" That is a sea change. (And will no doubt change back soon enough. Not to worry.)
Would You Like To Know More? Patriot Life: "Educating about the words and thoughts, the concepts and concerns, the principles and foundational beliefs of the Founding Fathers"
A task they intend to accomplish by selling T-shirts, stickers & worse, like "Happy Hanukkah" & "Jesus is the reason for the season" garden flags (Because why? Judeo-or-Xianity is required of all patriots?)
Can't even attempt to leave on a lighter note w/o wondering if we (That's the collective or royal "we," by which I mean all of you disembodied iNternet entities.) should still laugh at these goons. The semi-literate grifters linked above are, at worst, enablers. I hope. (It would be amusing to know where the fun couple got their Gadsden flag. "Do you sell these w/ the idea that the blood of tyrants will literally be spilled on them, Mr. iNternet Retailer?") The guns will be traced & hands will be wrung on both sides over their legality or non-legality & whatever that can be clearly demonstrated to prove, or not, depending, why not find out where their other props came from as well?

Man, these idiots are really starting to get themselves wound up, aren't they? With another two and a half years under the Kenyan Usurper, to be followed by another eight years under a Clinton White House, they're gonna turn this place into a free fire zone...
