Las Vegas ‘revolution’ shooters ID’d as right-wing conspiracy nuts with a deathwish

"...He shared a viral image suggesting the U.S. trade five Democratic lawmakers for a U.S. Marine who has been held for two months on weapons charges in Mexico after crossing the border with legally purchased firearms – a suggestion jokingly made last week by Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY)."

Jerad’s “likes” include such conservative pages as Conservative America, Conservative Daily, Mr. Conservative, Ron Paul, the NRA, Americans for Prosperity, FreedomWorks, all in addition to conspiracy theorist Alex Jones. Amanda’s included some of the same along with the Drudge Report and Hobby Lobby.


...if the Koch brothers touched it - they liked it.

"blundered" into Mexico with weapons. I imagine Mexican jail isn't pleasant, but Mexico is simply following its own laws and procedures. He's not a POW, and he wasn't there for military duty--just an apparent dumbass.

If Tahmooressi would have crossed the border with any other illegal-in-Mexico item, the GOP would be more than happy to let him rot. But it's GUNZZZ so they're willing to go to war with Mexico to get him back.

The fun part: if Obama manages to get him back, the GOP will immediately figure out a reason to hang him by the nuts...they did with Bowe Bergdahl, right?

First of all he isn't in the service any more. "Marine" is being used in the "always a Marine" sense.

He has some psych issues ( probably from PTSD) including "hunter/prey" according to his mother.

He had been in Mexico earlier that day. Checked in and out if a hotel.

He tried to escape once earning him the nickname "Spider-Man".

Yes the jail is no picnic but he has been able to call several media resources including Glenn Beck's radio show.

From the link;

Jerad Miller outlined his political views, which were largely based on conspiracy theories promoted by Fox News and Alex Jones, in his social media postings, and he posted frequently about firearms and violent revolution.

From the OP: "Another photo shows Amanda Miller holding a pair of books — “Shooter’s Bible” and “Extreme Survival” — she received last Christmas from her grandmother."

What kind of grandmother sends Christmas gifts like that?

It is striking how mainstream within the Tea Party this couple was, right down to being Rand/Ron Paul supporters.

And that the "war on drugs" was a player in this rampage.

No comment made on where this felon got his weapon. Indeed it is possible he had it before his felony conviction but would not that mean he would have to turn in his weapons.

This also shows that the death threats made against the parents of Bowe Bergdahl needs to be taken very seriously.

They let bad stuff slide and that kills people,emboldens these idiots.

IMO a couple big R blunders were way back when those republicans sent the racist emails and no one lost their job over that. Another time, more emails when one of them 'prayed the president' (and his family) would die. Another one was Palins target on the faces of elected people.
