Shooting in Ohio Church
So, I’m just wondering why this isn’t wall-to-wall news on the cable news channels today. From CBS News;
Witnesses say the 25-year-old man accused of walking into an Ohio church and fatally shooting his father after an Easter service Sunday was yelling about God and Allah after the killing.
Police say Reshad Riddle killed his father, 52-year-old Richard Riddle, with a single shot from a handgun Sunday afternoon at the Hiawatha Church of God in Christ in Ashtabula.
[Associate Pastor Sean] Adams said that after the shooting, Reshad Riddle continued into the church, still holding the gun, and yelled that the killing was “the will of Allah. This is the will of God.”
I mean, he’s a white guy who apparently converted to Islam and fits the profile of the Childress sisters so we should be discussing it, right? Oh, wait…

Looks like Obama’s son, if he had one.
He didn’t kill four or more people so it doesn’t count.
I don’t know, JL… all those gang tatts mean something, don’t they?

OBVIOUSLY Poor Impulse Control.
well, I’m sure he passed his mandated background checks.
We obviously need to ban assault rifles so this tragic loss of life doesn’t occur again.
main stream media will show a pic of him when he was 12 yrs old
and cute and cuddly
Notice the coke fingernail. Classy. Gigantic Latin King’s crown on his chest as well.
He has a serious record, according to the article. Typical kid stuff–like cutting his girlfrien’s throat. Could happen to anyone.
Something I’ve observed doing scholarly research watching COPS:
No shirt=face the car and put hands behind the back
Really….I’d say 90% of the miscreants don’t have a shirt. I was going to add Tats, but most everyone on COPS has TATS…including the cops.
“He offered no motive for the shooting, and police say he has an extensive criminal record.”
Once again we find someone who the system has continually used the catch and release method to no avail, and apparently a criminal who was still able to find a weapon….when we stop releasing known predators that will certainly help some of the recidivism…
@11. Catch and release (a/k/a revolving door, a/k/a justice denied). We see it all of the time. Proscecutors plea bargain to avert paralysis. Newspapers omit the lenient sentencing judge’s name. When a defendant slits throats, commits armed robbery, rtapes, or engages in other sick, felonious behavior, that should be it. Evil is evil.
Less than 4 = workplace violence.
Next.
Sounds like the coke was cut with something a bit less benign than baby powder.
Not to worry. He’s getting his act together – as is evidenced by his referance to Allah. All he did was rid the world of a single infidel. It’s not as if he committed mass murder or anything.
Our local new station headline was “Witness: Man yelled about God after church killing”
No mention of “the will of Allah” until you read the article. Isn’t it nice that the headline writes imply that he was some Christian terrorist?
Re; The tattoos.
I won’t go into a lengthy breakdown of every “gang” tattoo he has, but first and foremost, and obviously most prominent, is the Latin Kings five pointed crown in the center of his chest. It is most definitely a gang tattoo, as are the jigsaw puzzle pieces, and several other of the minor designs.
I’ve been out of the game for quite some time, but there are plenty of online guides for looking up gang affiliation tattoos.
I’m sure Joe will be in here at any second….yup…any second now.
#17 Gravel: you must be mistaken about the gang thing. Moooslims are peace loving and would never get involved in violence. /s
Double card LSDM excuses:
-Race card and
-Peace lovin’ Mooslim card
I forgot. Was the church a (koff koff) “gun free zone”?
Yeah, I can see the LSDM mentioning that, too.
I thought a puzzle piece was used to raise Autism awareness?! 😉
