Any bets on the race and political affiliation of the shooter? Any wild guesses?? Hmm???
- There are literally Nazi compounds in rural Idaho. It's fucking crazy up there
  
  Northern Idaho was heavily polluted by mining lead and zinc in those areas . I remember whole swaths of land was devoid of all life near the mines.

  There is some pretty fucked up people in the area with several mental issues from it.
- You can add gender to the race and political affiliation profile of the people who commit these acts.
Two people have been fatally shot in a mountain community in the north-western US state of Idaho while responding to a brush fire, say officials.
Kootenai County Sheriff's Office Robert Norris said at least one suspect was firing at law enforcement with a high-powered rifle near the city of Coeur d'Alene.
"We are actively taking sniper fire as we speak," said Sheriff Norris, adding that officers had reported bullets coming from various directions. Residents have been asked to avoid the scene, which is on Canfield Mountain.
Sounds like an ambush.
- @dessalines@lemmy.ml hey, an ambush. What's that thing you say about which races are and aren't capable of that?
  
  Context?
  
  What?
They probably set the fire as a trap? That is pretty shitty.
