He may or may not have called himself an atheist, but latest reports make it clear that he was definitely anti-religion. It is possible that he was a deist who believed in god but disagreed with organized religion, but my guess is that he was an unbeliever and most likely an atheist. Now he's dead and nobody cares. Serve him right.
The man linked to a violent assault on Dallas police headquarters on Saturday was accused two years earlier of choking his mother, then fleeing to an east Texas town where schools were locked down out of fear he would attack them as “soft targets”, according to accounts from police and family members.
Police said the suspect, who planted pipe bombs outside headquarters and fired at officers from his armoured van, told them he was James Boulware. He was killed hours later by a police sniper.
Boulware was arrested for family violence in Dallas two years ago, in a case that was later dismissed. According to a Dallas police report, a witness said Boulware was in his mother’s house and “began talking rudely about religion, Jews and Christians”. The report said Boulware then grabbed his mother by the neck for two to three seconds, until a third person could pull him off. The two men fought until Boulware left the house.
The police report said he was then reported on the same day to be in Paris, Texas, about 100 miles away, where he grabbed weapons and body armour and talked about “shooting up schools and churches”. Andrew Boulware and his father, Jim, confirmed the incident.
