Regarding the LAX shooter, the Philly Inquirer ran a story about him Sunday. He grew up in Pennsville, NJ, a town known for, well, not much. (OK - the base of the Del Mem Bridge in NJ is located in Pennsville, and there's a Cracker Barrel & a few hotels there, but otherwise, not much)
So when the Philly Inquirer needed a picture of something in Pennsville, there wasn't much to choose from. So they used a pic of the guy, along with the BGS one sees as they come off the bridge!

Pennsville is a nice area. I couldn't imagine why one would do such a thing. I understand he may have been bullied in high school, but I don't see what makes one shoot up an airport because of it...
Also the BGS is missing a black background behind the NJ 49 circle. Is that because it's under the DRJTBC jurisdiction, or...?

No backplate, because it is a DRBA install.
The backplates are ugly, imo. But the exit tab looks like a Delaware deal.
I know a guy who went to Salesianum, apparently it's not as great a place as the media is making it out to be.

That fact (that the shooter attended there) was the top story on delawareonline yesterday... One of my main childhood friends went to Sallies, he definitely didn't get many values from there!

Well, that sadly is the case of most Catholic high schools today. The one I went to gave me a wonderful education, but the ethics and morals were not really very high brow. I imagine about 25% or less of my graduating class still darken the stoop of a church with any regularity. No doctrine and dogma, just how to get ahead and grab that brass ring.
Even the Church is corrupted by the World these days.

Agreed. I think the same thing is happening at St. Marks High School, a relative of mine came out of there with beliefs unlike what he practiced.
