So far apparently nobody has actually been hurt amazingly, despite being shot at and having multiple explosives detonated (two safely by the cops).

Article claims automatic weapons and an armored van with holes to shoot from and explosives. Curious to see if these are automatic weapons or if the journalist (if you can call them that any more) is full of crap.

I read on the fox article that some had thought there were also assailants at "elevated positions" and maybe at some point there were. However from the camera angle of the video-taker & the buddies hes talking to, it doesn't look like any shooting was coming from their direction, but it raises some points:
1) The video-taker was in a hell of a position for an additional assailant to take on cops on the ground. Now, shooting from that high/angle and hitting anything are two different things, but still. (at least it would be for those two assclown "roommates" that had swift justice delivered to their heads at the draw-muhammad event)
2) Were the cops paying attention to just the 2D space, or was someone also looking up at rooftops/garage levels?
3) If there were assailants at "elevated positions" taking shots, I don't think I'd want to be poking my head over the roof like the video-taker and his friends were.

Breitbart has details about one of the vans used. Someone bought it on ebay for about $9k. The police apparently stopped it with a .50 to the engine block.

I'm surprised they didn't use the Tim McVeigh style bomb tactic.

or someone who rides a motorcycle.

IMO it's a SBC. Why drive in to a JiTB parking lot? All that shooting get you in the mood for some ptomaine poisoning

[BushMasterBoy]

Reports say police snipers hit the suspect in the van by firing through the windshield. Not sure if he is dead yet.

[Jamnanc]

James Boulware. He's a nut job who lost custody of his kid recently.

NO ONE NEEDS AN ARMORED CAR, NO ONE !

Can't find any info on ID yet and that usually means (I'm ASSuming) the news will be challenging for certain people.

If it were a biker, he would have brought his friends.

We've seen multiple lone wolf, race-based attacks against LE (twice in NYC) so my money is on that. But I could be wrong...

By the way, the call has gone out for soldiers to join Farrakhan descend on McKinney...

Whenever this happens there is a certain number of teh crazy who answer the call.

Even being a "Ford Guy" I'd be willing to discuss a ban, after all it's for the Kids right?

Towards the bottom has some info on the guy. http://twitchy.com/2015/06/13/shots-fired-explosives-detonated-outside-dallas-pd-cops-in-standoff-with-suspects-photos-video/

The one vertical video about 3/4 of the way down that page... Listen to the round ricochet near the person taking the video. He decided to unass the area. Good thinking.

Very happy this turned out how it did, assuming the only suspect is DOA. I hope this isn't the beginning of a trend. Dangerous times for law enforcement these days...especially in urban areas.

I'm curious how many times a .50BMG has been deployed, and used, by law enforcement officers in the US. This seems like the perfect scenario for a heavy rifle like that.

The suspect gave a name to identify himself as James Boulware, a White male, 5’10”, 200 pounds.

Searched on the name, guy sounds mental.

Update- 4:01 pm EST: One of the judges he threatened spoke out on CNN (http://www.mediaite.com/tv/judge-threatened-by-dallas-suspect-he-was-always-a-threat-to-us/), saying his presence in court would always lead to heightened security.

Waiting for the Tea Party connection...

Tea Party for sure, possible Former Bandido, Open Carry Advocate, Home Schooling his kids, Pastor of Christian Church. The up side is he claims to be Trans Racial.

[BushMasterBoy]

He didn't even leave feedback on his ebay purchase...

No wonder he lost custody of his kids, guy sounds like a maniac.

He was probably waiting to test it out first.

I like your common sense approach for the safety of everyone, I wish all ford owners were as sensible.

I saw the headlines and couldn't believe it was possible. Then I watched the video, and nope, there's no excuse, that wasn't accidental. Utter garbage.
