    RI - Mass Shooting at Brown University - Providence 13 Dec 2025

    I would say that targeting specific people is less likely. The review class was optional, so it would be difficult to know if a specific student target was going to be there. Likewise, it was being taught by a teaching assistant and not a professor. This would reduce the possibility of a...

    I can agree with that possibility. @O.Incandenza raises that possibility as well. When I looked at the full picture, I cant tell if the individual's hips are feminine or masculine. As with the tight hijab / beanie possibility, the hips seem to be able to swing either way (feminine, but on the...

    I can in the form of the San Bernardino attackers: Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik - Wikipedia Though the above attackers were Al Queda motivated, it does not mean that all Muslim attackers must be religiously motivated. To me, the lack of religious follow up messaging or claiming by a...

    It looks like a hijab to me as well. Going off on a limb.... the hijab looks "tight" to me. For example, it covers the whole hairline and is wrapped tight so that none of the hair shows. This is contrast to looser, or more token Hijabs that still pass the definition of a hijab, but can be...

    I also think the person is wearing a hijab. But... I think that is is worth adding the following: - Wearing a hijab would not necessarily make her ethnically Arab. In the end, "Arab" and "Muslim" are not synonyms as there are millions of Arab Christians. - Most Muslims are not Arabs and do...

    Thanks. I have spent a lot of time in NYC, but have only been to New England once. As a result, I was wondering if there was a corridor between say, NYC - Newport- Boston, where there would still be good numbers of people with out cars and having some NYC style public transportation.

    Good point about the behavior. His physique is giving strong chunky, vibes and possibility of being obese by medical definition. He does not vibe "heavy, but light on his feet" to me at all. If he used public transit, he may habitually favor the easier stations that feature elevators.

    TX TX - Elizabeth Barraza, 29, murdered setting up garage sale, Harris Co, Jan 2019 #7

    For what its worth, two members of the forum have participated in similar groups. The two members had very different experiences. One member's experiences could suggest an increased chance of a cosplay motive. The other, however, did not. Here are paraphrases of their different cosplay...

    "Time flows steadily, endlessly for humanity. Yet it can be relative in the soul of a person." And fake mysticism and not being @rosesfromangels aside, (sorry for cutting in), I would guess the following: - Obsession stemming from a recent calendar event would probably statistically...

    Shooting reported near White House

    I am not surprised that the Taliban would raise the possibility of Pakistan having something to do with it. Afghanistan and Pakistan spent most of October in border clashes. So.... from the Taliban's point of view, pointing the finger at Pakistan would be very beneficial given the present...

    Shooting reported near White House

    I fully agree that the same conditions regarding young people with high expectations that they automatically be given a good job and a constant supply of material "wants" exist though out the western world. But, as Americans have easy access to weapons, people are more likely to rampage...

    Shooting reported near White House

    I think your description is far better than my abbreviated one. Unless evidence of radicalization is forthcoming, RL is as American as any number of rampagers. Using your description, RL gives me the same vibes as Audrey Hale, the Nashville school rampager: - Never a Commando, but was a...

    TX TX - Elizabeth Barraza, 29, murdered setting up garage sale, Harris Co, Jan 2019 #7

    Though for me a cosplay based motive is increasingly becoming a 'black hole' due to lack of fruit, your possibility of the murderer being theater oriented brings back memories of a cosplay group from my college days. The group was centered on the Society for Creative Anachronism and featured...

    Shooting reported near White House

    It looks like that he was not some how forced to work in a hospital laundry, or denied "meaningful work". Rather, personal choices centered on work discipline can make more advanced positions difficult to obtain. That aside, I wonder what Noem means by "radicalization"? No evidence of a...

    Shooting reported near White House

    He probably wasn't and I fully agree with you that loss of status can cause stress (please see my post 118 where I supported another poster who made that assertion). Then again, there could be millions of people in this country who have had to take lower status jobs after lay offs. Heck, I am...
