Military Background of Micah Johnson

Reports confirm that Micah Johnson was a 25-year-old Army veteran who served in Afghanistan. He was armed with an SKS rifle and handguns while wearing body armor. The hosts point out the recurring theme of military training in these incidents and the media's focus on "manifestos" and tactical journals found at the suspect's home.

Social Media Links and Guilty by Association

Investigators used Micah Johnson's Facebook "likes" to establish a motive of racial rage. The hosts argue that this "guilty by association" tactic allows the FBI to put anyone who follows similar pages on a watch list. They criticize the media for turning a personal journal into a "manifesto" to fit the BIE narrative.
