A Michigan man shot dead by police after murdering his wife and badly injuring one of his daughters had reportedly been sucked into the QAnon conspiracy theory after refusing to accept that Donald Trump had lost the 2020 presidential election.

Details of Igor Lanis’ descent into violent extremism were posted on Reddit on Sunday by his 21-year-old daughter, Rebecca Lanis, under the title “My Qdad snapped and killed my family this morning.”

Some Reddit users initially questioned the veracity of the post, which was published under the username “qanonruinsfamilies” only hours after the shootings. But then Oakland County police confirmed the drama in Walled Lake, in the suburbs of Detroit, in the early hours of Sept. 11, when Lanis, 53, shot wife Tina, 56, and daughter Rachel.

Tina died after being shot four times with a handgun. Rachel, 25, was hit in the back and legs by blasts from a shotgun, but managed to raise the alarm and is now in a stable condition in a hospital. Lanis also killed the family dog, shooting it multiple times.

Lanis was himself shot dead after opening fire with a shotgun on police who responded to the scene.

In her Reddit post, Rebecca said that her parents had been “extremely loving and happy people” when she was growing up, but her father had been “ruined” by the internet.

She wrote: “In 2020 after Trump lost, my dad started going down the Q rabbit hole. He kept reading conspiracy theories about the stolen election, Trump, vaccines, etc. He always said he wanted to keep us safe and healthy.

“It kept getting worse and he verbally snapped at us a few times. Nothing physical though. He never got physical with anybody.

“Well, at around 4 AM on September 11, he had an argument with my mother and he decided to take our guns and shoot her, my dog and my sister. My mother succumbed to her wounds and my sister is in the hospital right now.

“My dad also fired back at the cops and they killed him.

“I’m shocked and I don’t even know what to say.

“Fuck you, Qanon. I hope the FBI tightens its grip on you and that your lackies rot in prison (and hell) for poisoning so many people.”

Rebecca Lanis confirmed to The Detroit News that she had written the Reddit post.

“Right-wing extremism is not funny, andpeople need to watch their relatives and if they have guns, they need to hide them or report them or something because this is out of control,”she said.

US Railroads Enact "Contingency Plans," Preparing For Labor Strike As Union Talks Fail

MONDAY, SEP 12, 2022 - 06:45 AM

Railroads and labor unions worked through the weekend to make a deal. There were little signs of progress, and rail companies are now taking steps Monday to secure shipments of hazardous and security-sensitive materials "in light of the possibility of a rail labor strike," the Association of American Railroads (AAR) wrote in a statement.

On Sunday, Norfolk Southern released a statement detailing it had "begun enacting its contingency plans for a controlled shut down of our network at 00:01 on Friday, Sept. 16." The railroad said two labor unions are holding out on new contracts, "we still do not have a commitment not to strike and must act accordingly," adding, "Our goal is to ensure that in the event of a work stoppage, crews, equipment, and freight safely reach their destinations with minimal disruption."

Union Pacific and CSX also announced contingency plans for a possible work stoppage. BNSF told customers to call Congress so lawmakers on Capitol Hill can "intervene to prevent or quickly resolve the service disruption" if a labor strike materializes on Friday. The railroad also said: "We will begin to take steps to manage and secure the shipments of hazardous and security-sensitive materials as early as Monday."

Rail freight networks are the arteries of the US economy.

Two months ago, the Biden administration imposed a two-month cooling-off period is set to expire at 12:01 am ET on Sept. 16 after that President Biden didn't have the power to prevent a strike among two labor unions that had yet hammered out a deal with railroads. Only Congress can intervene after the cooling period expires.

Bloomberg said the two unions include the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen and the International Association of Sheet Metal Air, Rail and Transportation Workers, accounting for more than 90,000 rail employees. Ten of the other unions have already struck a deal with railroads.

Association of American Railroads warned that a railroad strike could cost the US economy upwards of $2 billion per day, while disruption wouldn't be good optics for the Biden administration ahead of the midterm elections in November.

Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Lee Klaskow pointed out that BNSF and Union Pacific account for 45% of Class I intermodal traffic, while CSX and Norfolk Southern has 31%.

According to government data, about 29% of all US freight moves on the rails. Half the cargo is bulk commodities, such as energy, food, chemicals, metals, and wood productions – the other half is shipping containers of consumer goods.

"Even a temporary interruption would create a devastating ripple effect" across US supply chains, American Bakers Association, a Washington-based trade group representing more than 300 companies, warned.

Even if there's no strike, rail networks are already clogged. Shipping line Maersk recently suspended import bookings through Fort Worth, Texas, due to "severe congestion" in railyards.

Railroads are preparing for possible work stoppages at the end of the week if the two unions can't formulate a deal. There's the possibility Congress could intervene before the cooling period expires.If not, then expect a flare-up in snarled supply chains.
