1. Yeah, it's to soon to tell.

"eyewitnesses" are notoriously unreliable when this sort of thing happens.

2. If the is true...

it is so sad and so sick...it does not take much to bring out the wackos, but i still hope that was not the reason for this particular insanity.

5. Now they're saying he said "I am Muslim American

and am angry at Israel." when he was trying to get thru security. They also have detrmined that there was just one shooter.

apparentely The Jewish Federation Center has made nat'l headlines recently for high profile demonstrations supporting Israel.

I hope this is just an isolated incident, this city needs to take a chill pill.
