A man who gunned down two police officers and a woman Sunday in Las Vegas left behind social media postings that show his concerns over Benghazi, chemtrails, gun control laws, and the governments treatment of rancher Cliven Bundy.
Neighbors identified Jerad and Amanda Miller as the suspects who shot the officers execution-style as they ate lunch at a pizza restaurant, and then shot a woman outside a Walmart in the same plaza.
The couples apartment was searched Monday morning, and authorities in Lafayette, Indiana, confirmed that Las Vegas police had contacted them about the case.
Witnesses said the couple announced the shootings were the start of a revolution and draped the victims bodies with American Revolution-era Gadsden flags bearing the slogan Dont tread on me that have become symbols of the Tea Party movement.

Open carry will eventually be the undoing of either the RW zealots or the entire nation.

by the right-wing gun lobby, and incited by the Tea Party.
