Another picture that screams, "Freeper!"
This is the guy who killed 7 people at that Brookfield church service.



Let's see, lived with his Mom and sister, belonged to "endtimes" -obsessed church, got upset and walked out of a service, returns a few weeks later with gun.

Freeper.

Police: No Clear Motive For Brookfield Shootings
Police Search Ratzmann's New Berlin Home

BROOKFIELD, Wis. -- Police have found no clear motive for why a man opened fire with a handgun during an evangelical church service at a hotel, killing seven people before taking his own life.

Investigators found no suicide note or any other documents that could tell them what led Terry Ratzmann to the shooting rampage Saturday in this Milwaukee suburb, Police Chief Daniel Tushaus said Sunday.

However, officials said they were looking into reports that Ratzmann became upset during a church service a few weeks ago and walked out, and that he also may have been about to lose his job.

2. Nope. Not seeing it.
A white polo shirt with the crest on the right breast is very un-Fonda. And when you take into consideration that he lived at home with his mom and sister and massacred a few people with a handgun, the similarities end, I would think.

4. Poor guy was a computer programmer about to loose his job.
With a 20% or more unemployment rate for programmers, and programming jobs being sent overseas a top Bush priority, he probably just snapped after spending too many hours in unpaid overtime working. Or maybe he was training a foreginer to replace him at his job, which is done quite a lot in our country.
