"What we know about Ndiaga Diagne, suspect in Austin 6th Street mass shooting"

"Austin police on Sunday identified Ndiaga Diagne, 53, as a suspect in the early morning mass shooting on West Sixth Street that left three dead — including Diagne — and 14 injured."

"Diagne, who was fatally shot by police mid-rampage, was a Senegalese native who obtained U.S. citizenship in 2012, authorities said. At the time of the shooting, he was wearing clothing that bore an image of the Iranian flag and the words 'Property of Allah.' "

Good Old Shoe? Or
Good Old Shooter??

Inquiring minds what to know.

A folk song from Wag the Dog created as part of their elaborate scheme to stage a war. The supposed folk song was used to heighten the fame of "Willy Shoeman" (or something like that, not sure of the exact name) and did so fairly well...



on the radio

"Dog Was Loyal, and the Dog was True...n'there's never been a better than my Good Old Shoe...Good Old Shoe...Good Old Shoe...Never have ta call'im when there's Work to do...If I get to Heaven when the Day is Through. I'll know I'll see him waitin', Jest a Good Old Shoe..."
