An unemployed motorcycle mechanic who gunned down airport screening officers at Los Angeles International Airport in a 2013 attack that sent passengers running for their lives pleaded guilty Tuesday to murder and 10 other charges.
Paul Ciancia agreed last week to plead guilty to all 11 charges in the rampage that killed one officer and wounded two others and a teacher who was headed for a flight.
Ciancia, 26, was spared the death penalty by entering the plea but faces a mandatory life term in prison.
[...] Ciancia, who was living in the Los Angeles area after growing up in Pennsville, New Jersey, said in the note that he wanted to kill at least one TSA officer but hoped to kill more.
"If you want to play that game where you pretend that every American is a terrorist, you're going to learn what a self-fulfilling prophecy is," his note said, according to court documents.
The note added, "I want to instill fear in your traitorous minds. I want it to always be in the back of your head just how easy it is to take a weapon to the beginning of your Nazi checkpoints."
Ciancia signed the note with his name, adding beneath it, "Pissed-off Patriot."

She shouldn't have been driving on roads that my tax dollars pay for maintaining. Yes, you do need to display government ornamentation or however you want to put it if you want to drive on those roads. Build your own roads and knock yourself out if you want to drive without government ornamentation.
This is the ultimate problem with the "taxes are theft!" crowd. You want all the benefits of civilization without paying for them. Basically, you want free shit.

So, you are of the opinion that it was good that Korryn Gaines was killed - killed because she did not display identification government agents demanded? Not much I can say to this mindset other than point it out in plain terms. Here's the kicker: Korryn Gaines was not a freeloader - she paid for her use of the roads just as you do: via the gasoline tax.
You also are likely woefully wrong about the supposed benefits of civilization that you think you are getting. To start you off with just one: the police are not responsible for your safety [jpfo.org]. In fact, you can be a woman who called the police because rapists are in your house right now, raping your friends downstairs, and if the cops decide to never show up, they can't be held responsible even if their station is right down the street. If that sounds incredulous, look at the court case of Warren vs D.C. [wikipedia.org] and discover to your horror that this actually happened.
Civilization is the thinnest of veneers, and it's best to figure this out before you are confronted with harsh reality and the inevitable consequences for supporting, even indirectly, the murder of people you don't like.
