NY Post: Being prior service military explains precision massacre

[Kodiak]

They actually changed the article a little:

Sources told The Post that Laffer has a military background and had been a member of the Army after graduating high school. On his Facebook page, Laffer boasted about being a Army intelligence officer.

Laffer's experience with guns, police sources said, would explain how he could allegedly unleash the massacre at Haven Drugs Pharmacy before walking out with a bag loaded with prescription painkillers.

So now veterans are potential WMD's because of their previous training?

Nothing new the same claim was made about returning vets from every war since the Spanish-American War.

I'll bet his wasn't an ASA "Crypto Clearance" but rather a "psycho" warning.

Right after 9/11, I was at an airport and had to undergo extra screening because I was military. I was there with (get this...I am NOT joking or exaggerating) a little old lady. Why she was being searched more, I don't know. However, after I got back to Korea, I was informed that it happened because military members were red-flagged as possible threats. It made absolutely no sense then, nor does it to me now.

It's a meme they have to establish, so as to use it against the Oath Keepers & Three Per Centers, when the time comes...

Agree with the sentiment, but I think it's more likely that the sheep are afraid of the sheepdogs. A lot of folks don't get the difference between having knowledge of violence but the desire not to use it unless absolutely necessary, and having the desire to commit violent acts for their own sake.
