That sounds pretty clearly deliberate, to me. Before it got to the point where he jumped off a bridge, the cyclist would surely have been yelling and screaming.

Good point. He delibratlely jumped. A fall that nearly killed him.

That’s chilling. And, thankfully, the attempted perp is none too bright in tactics, since he was talking about it to anyone who would listen.

This part, though:

> Prieto also told the confidential source and undercover agents that he would show “no mercy, no quarter,” telling them that they could not “have any feeling, they’re not people. They’re monsters as far as I’m concerned.”

Something about that says to me that he knows they’re people, they’re just people he wants to kill. It wouldn’t be as enjoyable if they really were non-human monsters.

Like I said, chilling.

Prescott, Ariz. aka trumplandia.

Used to be a nice town. Then all the right wing Californians move there instead of Phoenix.

He planned to leave flags belonging to the organization that killed more American soldiers than any other, to get more Americans to join him. Seems like he doesn’t understand a lot of things.

Huh. Cousin moved there years ago. I’ve been there once. Mostly tourists from what I recall.

When I was a kid in San Diego, we were more concerned about the “Zonies” horning in on our turf, so it’s amusing that it’s now the other way around. We used to make a habit of looking for Arizona license plates so we could sneer at them.

There have been several evil crimes intended to start a race war, dating back to the Manson Family murders in the 1970’s. Oddly enough, absolutely none of the killing has provoked a race war. Yet these morons keep trying.

If armed Black Panthers brandishing in Los Angeles didn’t start one in the 60s, if the freaking civil war didn’t, these chuckleheads should learn their lesson.

I’d meant to ask earlier if Bad Bunny was performing a cover of _Helter Skelter_.

Do you see no difference between accidently killing someone and intentionally killing someone?
