...A law enforcement official I(click here) said the suspect, Paul Ciancia, 23, from Pennsville, N.J., was wearing fatigues and carrying a bag containing the hand-written note. The official was briefed at LAX on the investigation and requested anonymity because was he was not authorized to speak publicly.......
Who are these men and how do two men from New Jersey end up shooting up the country? I know New Jersey is a small state, but, they lived about 55 miles apart in the southern end of the state. That agriculture country. Well along the river it's industrial though.

PARAMUS, N.J. A gunman (click here) fired at least fix rounds into an escalator near closing time in a popular northern New Jersey mall Monday evening before taking his own life, authorities said.
Bergen County, N.J. prosecutor John Molinelli told reporters early Tuesday the body of Richard Shoop, 20, of Washington Township, N.J., was found behind a construction storage area of the Westfield Garden State Plaza Mall in Paramus....
Thirteen months after Hurricane Irene (click here) struck New Jersey in August, 2011, Hurricane Sandy brought even greater and more widespread destruction to the Garden State than its predecessor....
No. The 7.2% reduction is based on your original Weekly Benefit Rate (WBR). For example: if you were originally receiving $100 a week and were previously reduced 22.2% to $77, under the current Sequester your payment would be $93.
Why are my unemployment benefits being reduced?An automatic federal spending cut known as a sequestration has taken effect. Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC) benefits are federally funded and subject to this reduction.
Who is affected by the sequestration?Those who claim EUC benefits (extended unemployment) for the week ending October 5, 2013 and after will have their benefits reduced.
The 8.5 percent doesn't help, but, it is in line with NYC. I would think construction would create more jobs and relieve that rate.
Pennsylvania's rate is 7.7 percent. The storm had something to do with the rates in NY and NJ. Don't know why it would be this stubborn, unless, the jobs went to companies outside the state.
LAX
Ciancia, a 23-year-old unemployed motorcycle mechanic, got a ride to LAX on Friday morning with a roommate, walked into the airport and began targeting Transportation Security Administration officers, according to authorities. By the time LAX police officers subdued him with several gunshots, one TSA officer had been killed and two others injured.
Not so strange really. The unemployed turn to a drug economy when nothing else is within reach.They were both in their 20s and the nation already knows how abandoned that generation has become.

Paramas Mall
The reasons for the shooting remain unclear. Shoop used narcotic drugs and sold drugs as well, Molinelli said.
And he left behind a note
referring to the idea that the "end was coming," Molinelli said. "That
could mean going to jail, getting arrested, or it could mean suicide."
Authorities don't know whether Shoop left the note immediately before
going to the mall.
A family member called the authorities after hearing about the shooting, and said they thought Shoop might be the gunman,
