They arrived in the black or very dark blue sedan that was parked across one of the parking lot entrances, and in subsequent images, is the one that has been forcefully disassembled by the crime scene investigators. Never did see what plates IT had, primarily because the rear end was demolished.Pawpaw wrote:Not if it was rented or stolen.TresHuevos wrote:I know it said that they were from Phoenix but if the picture captions were correct it looks like the Nissan truck they were driving had Texas plates.

"Free speech"? Yes, but like yelling " Fire" in a crowded theatre, it shoulda been obvious that some sort of negative reaction was going to happen. SWAT was already on scene due to that possibility.
There were apparently no Muslim demonstrators there at the Center - wonder if someone knew something was afoot?
In this case, they were indeed making a political statement, and I agree it was a controversial statement. However, it is their statement to make; and it was done in direct response to the previous actions taken at the same location.
The "security officer" was an unarmed security officer. Hit in leg, discharged from hospital in less than four hours. Everyone's hopeful for a speedy recovery!RoyGBiv wrote:Free speech
