[Breitbart] The suspect in the deadly Kickapoo Lucky Eagle Casino shooting has been identified by law enforcement authorities in Texas as Keyran Rashad Jones. The 34-year-old San Antonio man is a former member of the Texas Army National Guard.
According to Maverick County Sheriff Tom Schmerber, Jones is charged with two counts of capital murder for his suspected role in the shooting that occurred early Sunday morning
..so many things happening, I guess we missed that one. Can’t get ‘em all…
in the border city of Eagle Pass. The shooting, as reported by Breitbart Texas, happened at the Kickapoo Lucky Eagle Casino nestled along the banks of the Rio Grande just south of Eagle Pass.
Texas Highway Patrol troopers captured Jones after a short chase near San Antonio. According to the Wilson County Sheriff’s Office, Texas Highway Patrol troopers discharged their firearms during their effort to stop the vehicle Jones was driving near a convenience store in Stockdale, Texas.
Jones continued to flee in the partially disabled vehicle until officers with the Wilson County Sheriff’s Office and Texas Highway Patrol troopers executed a pit maneuver and a Taser deployment.
The victims in Sunday’s shooting have been identified as Marcus “Mark” Antley, a
retired Customs and Border Protection officer from Eagle Pass, and Alicia Sanchez, a resident of Dimmit County near Eagle Pass.
Breitbart Texas spoke to Maverick County Sheriff Tom Schmerber, who says Jones is also facing five counts of assault with a deadly weapon in addition to the two counts of capital murder. On Sunday, the FBI and Texas Department of Public Safety Highway Patrol troopers executed a search warrant on Jones’ residence on Patricia Road in San Antonio. Schmerber could not provide any other details regarding the ongoing investigation or a possible motive in the shooting.
One of the victims remains in the shooting remains in serious condition in a San Antonio hospital but is expected to recover.

Some always have. Most used to not be able to pass the physical tests, psych evals and drug tests. Based on the folks that I have seen in uniform, those barriers have been bulldozed away.

Gotta bear in mind, the original "Hell's Angels" motorcycle group was mostly guys that came back from the Eighth Air Force after WWII and just couldn't go back to regular life.
So this thread is fairly strong and has been going for a while.

When we lived south of DC 20 years ago, we happened past a gathering of Rolling Thunder bikes Wiki and they were featured on the news, hundreds strong coming up I-95 with a police escort, IIRC.

[Regnum] Country singer Keith Urban has dumped Oscar-winning actress Nicole Kidman. The couple has been separated since early summer and is close to divorce. This was reported on September 30 by the American publication TMZ, citing informed sources.
According to the portal, the decision to separate was unilateral on Urban's part. Kidman didn't want a divorce and tried to save the marriage.
"Keith has purchased his own residence in Nashville and moved out of the family home," the publication quoted one source as saying.
The couple married in 2006 and have two teenage children. Kidman is currently raising them and supporting the family during this difficult time.

I had no idea they were having trouble. I had no idea they were married. I have no idea who Keith Urban is. I have never heard of the kids which probably means they stand a chance.

[Regnum] The most powerful magnetic storm in the past three months is currently being observed on Earth. This was reported on Tuesday, September 30, by the press service of the Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the Space Research Institute (IKI) of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
"A sharp increase in geomagnetic fluctuations. According to the latest measurements, the geomagnetic activity index Kp has spiked to 7.33, which corresponds to a strong magnetic storm of category G3+ on a 5-point scale, " the laboratory's website states.
According to scientists, the last time a magnetic storm of this magnitude occurred on Earth was on June 1, when a direct impact from a large solar prominence was recorded on the planet.
Meanwhile, the space environment around Earth remains significantly complicated due to the influence of increased solar activity. Powerful auroras also continue to occur on the planet.
The day before, a new solar flare of the penultimate M-class magnitude was recorded. This led to the expectation of high flare activity with potential risks for Earth.
The day before, scientists predicted a fiery rain following a powerful solar flare. They noted that although large volumes of plasma were ejected into space, their speeds, according to preliminary data, were insufficient to overcome the sun's gravity.

1 minute ago1 minute ago Police: Suspect had explosives in backpack, 'no indication' of wider danger
The 57-year-old deceased suspect found near the Lerchenauer See lake was apparently carrying an explosive device in his backpack which needed to be defused, Munich police said in an update on their investigations early on Wednesday afternoon.
Police said investigations, including possible defusal operations, continued both at the site where the man was found and at the house in Starnberg, which he is thought to have set on fire.
"The suspect was carrying a rucksack which based on current findings contained an explosive device which then needed to be defused," police said in the follow-up statement.
The suspect's 81-year-old mother and 21-year-old daughter were both injured and were receiving treatment in the hospital, police said.
Police said a total of more than 500 officers were on the case, many of them carrying out precautionary checks at and around the Oktoberfest site, given the note mentioning the event written by the suspect.
Investigators also said that an online post boasting about destroying high-price cars overnight was not thought to have any connection to the case.
"Currently there is no indication that other areas of Munich are in danger," police wrote.
2 hours ago2 hours ago Sniffer dogs sweep Oktoberfest site
Authorities are currently trying to muster as many bomb-sniffing dogs as possible to sweep the Oktoberfest grounds, the DPA news agency has reported.
The agency cited security sources saying the animals must search the grounds multiple times, something that requires a great deal of time and personnel.
The city has announced that the Wiesn, the local name for the site, will remain closed until at least 5 p.m. following the bomb threat. If the searches are not completed by then, the closure may have to be extended.
2 hours ago2 hours ago Munich police confirm suspect behind fire is dead
Police in Munich have confirmed that the man found dead after a house fire and reported blasts in the city's north as the suspect in the arson attack.
A police spokeswoman said Wednesday the man could also be linked to a vague bomb threat that prompted the temporary closure of the Oktoberfest grounds.
Firefighters and police were called early Wednesday to a blaze at a single-family home in the Lerchenau district. A severely injured man was discovered near Lerchenauer See and died shortly afterward. Police later confirmed he was the suspect.
Investigators believe a family dispute triggered the arson. Explosive devices were also discovered inside the house. The whereabouts of one missing person remained unclear, but police said the individual was not considered a danger.
The Oktoberfest site in central Munich remains shut down until 5 p.m. as a precaution after the threat was received.
After a fire and explosions rocked a building elsewhere in the southern city, investigators are also probing a possible extremist link after a post on the indymedia.org website claimed responsibility for arson and assaults under the title "Antifa means attack."
The post said, "We torched several luxury cars and paid house visits in the north of Munich."

Some Antifa posting claimed responsibility but they're probably freeloaders. Latest info is that this is about a private quarrel about a heritage dispute.

Oktoberfest is very popular with Americans and probably generates some tourism dollars for Munich. We are currently distracted as a people with shutdown blaming and sombreros, and this won’t register with anyone stateside other than at Rantburg.
From a terrorism standpoint only scary Islamic mass slaughter will get the attention of the American people to the extent that travel plans would be altered. ANTIFA stuff seems like background inconvenience to us at its current magnitude. If a bomb were to kill 20 or more people in Europe and ANTIFA claimed responsibility, there would be an immediate response stateside where the group is currently treated as a collection of nerdy slobs seeking social relevance. There would be a general 3AM reveille, rodeo roundup and booking for the pajama clad ANTIFA roster as surely each FBI field office has infiltrated more than just the Knights of Columbus.

[Regnum] Crown Princess Catharina - Amalia of the Netherlands has joined the country's armed forces, thus becoming the first woman in the royal family to do so. This was announced on the website of the Dutch Ministry of Defense on September 30.
The Crown Princess began her reservist training, enlisting in the Royal Navy, Army and Royal Air Force with the junior ranks of Seaman and Private Third Class.
"Every student must undergo a rigorous selection process to ensure they meet our requirements," emphasized Deputy Head of the Course, Major Petra Geyteman.
The kingdom's military department reported that no exceptions were made for the heir to the throne—she, like everyone else, underwent medical, psychological, and security testing.
It is noted that the princess will delay the practical phase of her training, which includes field training, due to a broken arm sustained in a horse accident. She has now begun the theoretical part, studying ballistics, tactics, and cartography. Amalia will also work as a freelancer for the Ministry of Defense.

The photo at the link suggests she’s already lost a good fifty pounds since last year — the poor girl apparently has always had a weight problem, about which there’s been some nastiness.

[Regnum] U.S. Congressman Tim Burchett stated that aliens may reside at U.S. underwater bases. This was reported on September 30 by the Daily Mail, citing an interview the politician had with journalist Matt Laszlo.
"Burchett suggested that advanced alien beings or civilizations may have lurked in Earth's oceans for generations," the paper notes.
According to the congressman, the military frequently spotted unidentified ships in five or six specific deep-sea areas. Burchett emphasized that this is especially significant given how little humanity knows about the ocean compared to the surface of the Moon.
On June 8, The Wall Street Journal published an investigation alleging that the Pentagon used UFO data
…UFO doesn’t necesarliy mean aliens, just that it is unidentified…
to cover up its secret operations. Specifically, the military department used reports of "saucers" to deflect attention from the testing of stealth aircraft, including the F-117.
