Baton Rouge Murderer Identified

Authorities have identified the man who murdered three police officers in Baton Rouge this morning as Gavin Eugene Long, age 29, a former Marine sergeant from Missouri.

The Daily Caller claims to have identified a YouTube channel operated by Long. If that identification is correct, Long was a former member of the Nation of Islam who was obsessed with race (he hated “crackers”) and with police shootings, including the death of Alton Sterling.

Long appears to have had a studio of sorts where he created his videos:

“TMT” stands for The Money Team, a Floyd Mayweather brand. I assume that Long had nothing to do with Mayweather, but wanted to identify himself with the boxing champion.
