In any society, at any time, there will always be malcontents. Home grown terrorism is not new to the US. Remember Timothy McVeigh?

According to the US Department of Labor, 787,000 jobs were lost in the month of May. Bringing the total number of unemployed to 14.5 million. 600,000 road construction jobs will not help in the long term. Most articles, as this one, begin with 'Obama promises, I will be waiting to see one begin with 'Obama delivers'.

Unfortunately if the police do not chase suspects, anarchy would exist.

The guard who was killed opened the museum door to let in what he thought was a harmless old man. His act of courtesy cost him his life. He was simply a target of opportunity. So very sad. The nutters make their presence known, when the economy goes pear shaped.

This article is about job creation, not Obama as God. These 600,000 jobs will be temporary construction jobs mainly. Repairing America's crumbling infrastructure. Yes, it needs to be done, it has been ignored for some time, by BOTH parties. Once a construction job is done, the workers move on.Probably back to the unemployment line. This figure of 600,000 looks impressive, however it is misleading.

Unfortunately, the jeannie is out of the bottle and cannot be re corked. Even if they could pass a law regarding this, I fear it would only hurt law-abiding citizens who feel the need to defend themselves against very well armed criminals.

Actually, guns are illegal within Washington DC. However criminals always find a way to gain access.

An octogenarian neo-nazi, that is a lot of suppressed anger and hate. His anger may have been directed at Jews, but it seems he was willing to kill arbitrarily. CNN reported he served aboard a PT boat during WWII.

This is not the first time this has happened in America, nor will it be the last, I fear.

What I infer from this article is the foreign tourists are middle-aged and probably overweight(by J standards),whose nakedness is embarrassing, and would probably frighten small children.

Does this man actually have a name? Will he now be referred to as Nori-P's surfer ex-husband? This stalker/reporter needs to do more digging.

For people with terminal illness whose quality of life is significantly reduced, it needs to be an option. It has been used in the US for this very purpose, not without controversy. Mainly from religious groups. These cases were overseen by medical professionals, and the family members were actually relieved as well as saddened. It allows a person to die while maintaining a certain amount of dignity.
