3. I wonder who the woman was?
Perhaps she was carjacked? The local news here in New Bedford didn't say anything about him having anyone traveling with him.

So sad. The poor police officer and his family. :(

He is the same age as my son and went to the same high school as my son for a breif time. The local news was at the high school on Friday asking questions about the kid there.

I am outraged that he has made my neighboring town famous, yet again, for an act of violence.

He sounds like a twisted mess of hatred and violence.

7. He took "wanna be" to a new level. Most kids around here
are just "wanna be's". This kid obviously just wanted to make a name for himself and be the coolest kid on the block. Seems he was unable to draw the line, much like those kids that beat the homeless guys in Florida. They do it because they think they can.

8. Ask people like Rush Limbaugh & Sean Hannity
Edited on Sat Feb-04-06 07:45 PM by mtnsnake
who preach so much hatred on the airwaves that it's liable to set some crazies off. I'm not blaming those two assoles in particular for what this nut did, but I blame them for their parts in setting up the right kind of atmosphere that breeds this kind of shit.

15. Just what I was going to say
Those fucking idiots preach hate and opine about how much better the world would be without (fill in the hated group). Then when someone acts out on the hate rhetoric, the RW talkers act like they have no idea where someone could get such an idea. You know, like attacking judges female heatlth clinics etc.

24. We should blame those two and others of their ilk
Their constant dehumanizing of everybody that they disagree with is sure to trigger some nuts into action.

26. I would be willing to bet a very large sum of money (if I had it) that....
this fine young man comes from a "good Christian family" and was a dedicated, true-believing bible thumper.

Jesus wept......

11. I figured he was gone right after it happened.
Edited on Sat Feb-04-06 07:51 PM by Sydnie
I assumed he would head for some safe gathering of white supremists somewhere west of here. Somewhere where he would find some support and possibly some cover.

edit to add - I am about 20 minutes from where he did his crime.

13. So sad the lady and the cop died. The article isn't clear as to whether
Rabida shot either one of them or not, just that they were killed in an exchange of gun fire. Does anyone know exactly who shot them?

25. The office was shot when he pulled the car over for a traffic stop
Robida fled, and crashed later. One article I saw said that he shot the woman once he was cornered after the spinout. (However, early news articles say lots of things that turn out not to be so...)

16. Our government bombs the living shit out of another country...
Edited on Sat Feb-04-06 08:46 PM by tjwash
...and kills tens of thousands of innocent civilians because they want to steal their oil. We have so-called "christian leaders" calling for the assassination of another country's leader. We have governors of states that gleefully sign execution orders to fulfill some biblical need for vengeance, that we as a culture have.

If you don't go along in lockstep with this culture of violence and death, you are absolutely ridiculed and called an un-american traitor. If you go to peace marches, or are against the killing of other people you are labeled as a freak, and told that you "should leave this great country."

And then we act surprised when kids come into schools, or bars with automatic weapons and start shooting everyone that they don't like or agree with.

Here is the kids blog by the way.

19. You've got that right...
We've got a whole culture of hate going on in this country...look at Limbaugh, Hannity, Coulter, and the rest. They preach hatred, they talk about it all of the time, they advocate violence (toward liberals), and then wonder why some screwed up kid goes on a rampage.

We've got the whole Bush administration practicing hatred, whether they vocalize it or not. What else is gutting social safety nets, which put millions of the impoverished, the elderly, and children in danger? This is the new Amerika. We are a country looking for enemies to demonize, thanks to the Bush administration, and what he wants is never-ending war. It doesn't really matter who the battle is with; he just wants to gather power by being a "war-time" president.

Is it any wonder some people go off the deep end? This country is not a nice place to live in anymore, it has become mean, and corrupt, and brutal. We are seeing the results.

23. It appears he was shot twice in the head in the shoot out
They laid down spike strips and he drove two miles into the town on blown tires, hit a bunch of parked cars trying to avoid a police barricade. Once he hit the cars and stopped, the shooting began where he was shot and the female with him was killed. He had already shot and killed the policeman thus the road blocks and the spike strips. He had changed his plates to Kentucky plates but did not change the car. Still no word on who the female with him was yet.

29. Man Held in Bar Attack Dies After Shootout
He died early this morning. Now, we will never really know why he did this, unless he left some detail of his plans on his computer maybe?

GASSVILLE, Ark. - A teenager suspected of a hatchet-and-gun attack in a Massachusetts gay bar and in the fatal shooting of two people died Sunday morning after he was critically wounded in a gun battle with Arkansas police, authorities said.

Jacob D. Robida, 18, died at 3:38 a.m. Sunday at Cox-South Hospital in Springfield, Mo., Arkansas State Police spokesman Bill Sadler said.
