Scumsucking Cop Killer - was he here?

Sounds like this loser might have stopped by:

Richard Andrew Poplawski was a young man convinced the nation was secretly controlled by a cabal that would eradicate freedom of speech, take away his guns and use the military to enslave the citizenry.

His online profile suggests someone at once lonely and seething. He wrote of burning the backs of both of his hands, the first time with a cigarette, the second time for symmetry. He subscribed to conspiracy theories and, by January 2007, was posting photographs of his tattoos on white supremacist Web site Stormfront. Among his ambitions: “to accumulate enough ‘I punched that [expletive] so hard’ stories to match my old man.”

“Crazy to me is going through the motions,” he wrote on his MySpace profile three years ago. “Crazy to me is letting each day slip past you. Crazy is being insignificant. Crazy is being obscure, pointless.”

No longer obscure, the 22-year-old is charged in the worst police shooting in the modern history of Pittsburgh. No one is calling his actions anything but pointless.

“He was really into politics and really into the First and Second amendment. One thing he feared was he feared the gun ban because he thought that was going to take away peoples’ right to defend themselves. He never spoke of going out to murder or to kill,” said Edward Perkovic, who described himself as Mr. Poplawski’s lifelong best friend.

Mr. Poplawski’s view of guns and personal freedom took a turn toward the fringes of American politics. With Mr. Perkovic, he appeared to share a belief that the government was controlled from unseen forces, that troops were being shipped home from the Mideast to police the citizenry here, and that Jews secretly ran the country.

Believing most media were covering up important events, Mr. Poplawski turned to a far-right conspiracy Web site run by Alex Jones, a self-described documentarian with roots going back to the extremist militia movement of the early 1990s.

Around the same time, he joined Florida-based Stormfront, which has long been a clearinghouse Web site for far-right groups. He posted photographs of his tattoo, an eagle spread across his chest.

“I was considering gettin’ life runes on the outside of my calfs,” he wrote. Life runes are a common symbol among white supremacists, notably followers of The National Alliance, a neo-Nazi group linked to an array of violent organizations.

One of the news organizations reported that the police had been called to his house before. He had also been in arguments with his neighbors, twice in fistfights. Seems like he was a real jagoff.

On officer.com there was a posting that says he was an ex-Marine. That isn't true. He was kicked out of bootcamp without graduating because he threw a tray at his DI. And if you don't graduate bootcamp, you can not be called a Marine. He was just another bum who couldn't hack it.

Alex Jones has 'far-right' website? No shit?!

Does anyone here have the URL for that? ...because the only Alex Jones site I'm familiar with is the <b>Libertarian</b> one, www.PrisonPlanet.com .

I thought the same thing. Just another attempt at labeling and demonizing people.
 
Quote from IShopAtPublix:

Stormfront is an irrational website. If you go there you immediately feel immersed into skinheads, confederacy militias, other crapp.

I would say that Stormfront is a rational irrational website. They are egoists of an extreme nature hence they are racists, and they put out all of this crap which the rank and file believe to justify their egotiscal drives or racism.

Objectivists are total egoists too, but we're all anti-racist!

Perhaps the major difference here is that egoists lacking any significant individual accomplishments of their own become the racist variety, seeking unearned collective 'pride' off the achievements of others who happen to share the same skin color as they do.
 
That demostrates how credible the press really is. They will do anything to further their agenda.

Anyone who doesn't believe the gov't is the solution to all our problems is a right wing wack job.

Let me define what I mean by egoism as I utilize it here just to make sure we are on the same page.

Humans like animals have the drives of hunger, envy, rage, and lust. All the drives of an animal are self-centered seeking only gratification.

It is natural for an animal to behave in a self-centered fashion. A lion doesn't any feelings for its prey so it doesn't have a problem killing it in the most cruel fashion. A human being that behaves like a lion is not a human being but an animal in the sense that he has no feelings for his victims and utilizes them just to satisfy his need for self gratification.

The sincere willingness to sacrifice one's own comfort or possessions to help other people is the antithesis of self-centeredness.

A person with a racist mentality has no feelings for people that are outside of his group hence these people like the prey of the lion are available to satisfy the needs of himself and the members of his group, and no remorse is felt by them if they abuse or kill these people.
 
" For some time now there has been a pretty good connection

between being sucked into this conspiracy world and

propagating violence," said Heidi Beirich, director of

research at the Southern Poverty Law Center and an

expert on political extremists. She called Mr. Poplawski's

act "a classic example of what happens when you start

buying all this conspiracy stuff."


Did you hear that..........all you Alex Jones followers are

now a target.
