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."

one woosh and a half. I wasn't aware he was trolling at all, OTOH my suggestion was mainly driven by the desire of optimization.
