[Crackshot]

Quote:

A married couple vowed to "start a revolution" as they murdered two police officers on Sunday in a Las Vegas pizza restaurant before covering their bodies in American Revolutionary War flags associated with the Tea Party movement.

Jerad Miller, 31, and his wife Amanda, then went across the road to a supermarket where they killed a shopper, were pinned down by police fire, and turned their guns on themselves in a suicide pact.
Miller had posted a series of anti-government, pro-gun rants on the internet going back months, calling for "bloodshed" against the "tyrannical and fascist" state. In one he said: "Would George Washington have used an AK against the British? Yes, a resounding yes". The day before the shootings he wrote: "The dawn of a new day. May all our coming sacrifices be worth it”.

The couple married in 2012 and had moved to Las Vegas from Indiana within the last year. Miller spent his days dressing as characters The Joker and Peter Pan to work as a street performer in downtown Las Vegas. His wife dressed as The Joker's his girlfriend Harley Quinn.

Fucking sickos.

[Surreyman]

Anyone going to bite the bullet and see what the freaks at Stormfront (not the Apple shop) are saying?

I'm sure it will be depressing and hilarious at the same time.

The media's gonna jump all over this and blame it on the Tea Party's "racist platform."

Too bad there are Black tea partiers, but they'll never be shown.

Why do these gunman never target actual members of the power structure? Like CEO's, lobbyists, politicians and the like? I really don't understand how people can delude themselves to think they know something everyone else doesn't, but clearly have done no homework at all.

[Constitution45]

Hard to believe they are white supremacists, when they complained about the U.S government being fascist. Also why would they shoot, (presumably) white police officers.

Wow, reading their claims is like reading something from Mars, completely nonsensical. I could understand where the Elliot Rodger guy was coming from even if he was deranged, but these guys are just alien to me.

I didn't mean it this way when I wished the 90's come back...

We're not talking about Mensa members here...

From the story:

"Krista Koch, another neighbour, said: "They always talked about murdering cops. They were going to kill as many officers as they can, and then they were going to do away with themselves.""

Gee, you think she might have gone to authorities about that? I mean, people run to the cops when you play your music too loud or when you're a litterbug.

Yet these two "always" (her word) talked of murdering police officers and she didn't find that worthy of reporting.

USA! USA! USA!

How were they white supremacist? That sounds like a label the media made up.

apparently they painted a swastika on a dead cop...being their apparent dumb selves I bet they were trying to imply that the police were facists. Instead, it makes them look like white supremacists.

Perhaps because most of these shootings are false flags? I mean yes, it would make more sense, that if you are going to go to the trouble of shooting someone, you might as well shoot someone who is at the top of the power structure, like an international banker, or CEO.

Women don't kill people.

This wasn't the beginning of a revolution; this was cold-blooded murder plain and simple. These two assholes were most likely just looking for a reason to kill the police and found it in some bullshit ideology that wouldn't match their intentions just to justify it in a way that wouldn't make people see them as run-of-the-mill cop-killers (spoiler alert: they are) by default. They also stole the weapons and badges from the two dead officers after the fact; this seems a lot more personal to me than the idea of "starting a revolution". I think they had a bone to pick with Las Vegas Metro PD in particular and expressed it in this tragic way.

They weren't white supremacists. They put a swastika on the police to signify that they (the police) were acting like Nazi's (just following orders from oppressive leaders)

Ironic that a person who idolizes a fictional anarchist clown has anything to say about "following the leader."

They do kill their children, though, and nowadays in ever-increasing numbers. Every week now there's some article about some woman that lost her mind, started hearing voices, and claimed that Jesus or The Devil told her to murder her own children.

I've met a number of people who hate the police or the military for no definitive reason. I'm not surprised at all. A criminal record and a history of feeling mishandled by the PD would match up
