Ah, now your "speculation" becomes "examples?" "Illustrations?" No...they're silly little rumors that you made up. Ideas that came to you, absent any suggestion of them in any of the dozens of news articles.

Please. You've stepped in it up to your neck. You make crap up, and then you backpedal. And it turns out, you're just so incredibly wrong!

This Bledsoe/Muhamad guy's father lives in Memphis. Yet you assume the guy lived in Little Rock for a good chunk of his life and knew these guys (but according to the local news report below, second link, he's only lived in LR a few months). Why do you assume that the shooter and his victims know each other? Seems like these guys were in boot camp when our shooter moved to LR.

One of the guys who was shot--the one killed-- is from Conway, not Little Rock. The one who was wounded, but not killed, was from Jacksonville. They're not even from the same town or city where the shooter had his apartment (near the recruiting office)--so why "must" they know each other? And why even think there might be drugs, gangs or sisters involved, per your silly scenario?

William Long, 23, of Conway, died in the attack on the Army-Navy Career Center in a west Little Rock shopping center, and Quinton Ezeagwula, 18, of Jacksonville, was wounded and in stable condition, Police Chief Stuart Thomas said.

And gee, our shooter just got back from....YEMEN. Yes. YEMEN. You know, where that pathetic John Walker Lindh (who was called "Yusuf Islam" as a joke by his instructors) went to learn Arabic? AND...he's under investigation by the FBI! The Terrorist Task Force, too, as we find out below!

I think your "gang/drugs/sister" rumors/speculation/examples got even more unlikely:

The suspect is 23-year old Abdul hakim Mujahid Muhammad and is behind bars at the Pulaski County Jail. Police say it appears he targeted military members because of his political and religious beliefs. Authorities have told ABC News, Muhammed had just returned from Yemen and was already the subject of an FBI (web) investigation.

Oh, but wait....there's more. The guy was ARRESTED in Yemen...for using a Somali passport!

The suspect arrested in the fatal shooting of one soldier and the critical injury of another at a Little Rock, Ark., Army recruiting booth today was under investigation by the FBI's Joint Terrorist Task Force since his return from Yemen, ABC News has learned.

The investigation was in its preliminary stages, authorities said, and was based on the suspect's travel to Yemen and his arrest there for using a Somali passport.

Have a banana--in a simian sort of way, of course.
