Reminds me a little of the shooting at the Las Vegas Federal Building in January 2010.

I regularly went there every month or so in Las Vegas. I also kind of knew the security guard killed.

Glad this guy did not make do on his promise. But the Las Vegas shooting was notorious for the man going after the wrong person. He was already on SSI and Nevada changed his payments. The ALJ or ALJs he was targeting had nothing to do with his payments.

Just like this Senator has little to do with his payments being cut. Wish these deranged killers would at least target the right person. Just senseless.

@ 1:13 seems like expecting better planning from deranged killers is a bit problematic and incredibly optimistic.
