I am remiss in not recording the killing at the Capitol yesterday. A lone man rammed a police barricade, killing one Capitol police officer and injuring another. When he got out of his vehicle with raised knife he was shot dead.

I speculated with X-II yesterday that this did not strike me as pathognomonic of a Christian attack, where the high-tech, efficient, remote, high-volume mass murder of automatic weapons and explosives is the fashion, but rather it suggested to me a Muslim perp. Stereotyping, of course the killer would be male, like what are you an idjit? and I thought: vehicle, knife—those are the weapons of choice of Muslims who like the frisson that intimate killing offers and the exquisite pain caused by a low-tech cutting mechanism (the guy yesterday was deprived of the Joy of Stabbing). 

It appears this morning that my stereotyping was accurate. Noah Ricardo Green, Deliverance, is the name, murder (and football) his game, and he took steps to match his name to his technique by trying to change it in 2019 to Noah Zaeem Muhammad.
