It's ideology more so than a structured group.

A while back one of the think tanks did a survey of LE agencies across the country and concluded that sovereign extremists were viewed as the greatest threat to LE.

A copycat? Maybe he is just exactly like him. Someone the military taught to kill and was discarded when done with and unable to assimilate back into a normal life.

Do they need converted or are they looking for a place to fit in and when they can't they lash out?

Many have a chip on their shoulder for lots of reasons.

A large percentage only care about their politics. Not blacks, not whites, not cops. Just whatever they feel will further their politics.

If labelling someone BLM will do it, they are quick to do so. If they can label someone Tea Party to further their politics they have no problem doing that.

There are a great number of people out there suffering in many different ways and those who only care about furthering their politics can rot in hell for what I care about their arguments.

Matthew Gerald, a former Marine who had joined the Baton Rouge police force a year ago, was identified as one of the deceased officers in the multiple shooting deaths of law enforcement officers in Baton Rouge, according to Fox 8 New Orleans.

I didn't catch if he served in combat, but knowing of a few combat vets that now have severe PTSD, firearms, and aren't getting the help they need...........not a stretch IMO.

Regardless, his actions were criminal and domestic terrorism.

RIP for Baton Rouge police officers and must respect given to them and all LEO's that are doing a very difficult job.

It's getting scary that more of these incidents with legal high powered rifles are getting into the hands of people that are insane/violent with nothing to lose...Orlando, Dallas, Baton Rouge......and the cops have less firepower to respond to active shooters than the shooters.

Another sad day in Murica

Same as Iraq. Radical leaders within their community take advantage of those that are most impressionable (young18-35), perhaps unemployed, no stable anchors in their life.

Take 320,000,000 Americans and I'll show you, 32,000 capable of doing the unimaginable if their buttons are pushe juuuuuuuuust enough to act on impulse. Voila.....Dallas, baton rouge.....this guy DROVE in from Kansas city for this very reason. He had a long drive to think about it and boil over....and here we are.

Curious, any of the black leaders from BLM or anywhere else weighing in on this one outside of the president?
