Thought about the photo you posted Molly maybe it is the savage after the attack taking his coat off to throw the police off any descriptions given in those first chaotic moments. Take off the coat take off the hat blend in, but he would also have to have abandoned the gun.

Had to take a break from this attack in particular. I think even more so than ever we are going to be fed a long line of lies. Trump cannot take office soon enough. Time to make an example of an Islamic State. I don't care which one it is bomb them off the face of the earth and every time one of their nationals does some savagery like this, bomb their country of origin if it an Islamic state. Do or die.
