The couple who shot to death two Las Vegas police officers, a third person and then themselves delivered an ominous message as they left their home before the ambush with a shopping cart of weapons, a neighbor said.
"We gotta do what we gotta do," the husband told Kelly Fielder, adding that he and his wife were leaving for an "underground world."
The wife then embraced the neighbor and said, "I am so sorry."
Fielder said she had heard the couple make anti-government statements in the past — including a desire to overthrow the government and President Obama and kill police officers — but did not think they were serious.
But as the duo left their home on Sunday, they were deadly serious.
They barged into CiCi's Pizza, yelled “This is the start of a revolution!” and started firing, witnesses told police. Authorities said they stripped the dead officers of their weapons and ammunition
The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported that the shooters covered the dead officers with the Revolutionary War-era Gadsden flag, which depicts a coiled snake and the words “Don’t Tread On Me.”
They were also among the dipshits who hung around with professional welfare cheat, Cliven Bundy.
Clark County assistant sheriff Kevin McMahill told reporters at a press conference that the shooters placed a swastika on one of the two Las Vegas police officers they shot and killed Sunday at a local restaurant. The pair went on to shoot and kill another person before killing themselves.
But McMahill cautioned against presuming that the couple were neo-Nazis or white supremacists.
"One of the things that we believe at this point with the swastika is that we don't necessarily believe that they are white supremacists or associated with the Nazi movement," he said.
"We believe they equate government and law enforcement with fascism and those that support with Nazis," he continued. "They believe that law enforcement is the oppressor and they are associated with the Nazi movement."
Someday, maybe, the radical "conservative" mullahs who spread these messages of hate and death will be held responsible for the actions of their followers.
