• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Van Tassel, an Iraq veteran from Santa Barbara, was taken into custody without incident, said police Sgt. Lorenzo Duarte. The sergeant said Van Tassel had been in the Army but he did not have any details of his Iraq service.
Duarte said Van Tassel was complaining about the treatment of veterans and the war. "The reason appears to be anti-war, but I don't know the specifics," he said.
Police continued to investigate a duffel bag and the man's car at the scene but had "no credible threats or any threats of explosives," police Sgt. Jim Pfleging said.Pfleging said Van Tassel will receive a mental health evaluation. There was no listing for Van Tassel.

A disc jockey at the station said a masked man with a revolver "demanded to be put on the air because he was mad at John McCain and how veterans were treated."

It would be very wise to keep this thread on a sensible level or take it to Oso's.
