Four Marines killed in a rampage shooting, coincidentally occurring a few weeks after another one

[Mr. Sunshine]

Everyone seems to be very shy about talking about the obvious...

Terrorists can't play wiffle ball?

I see there is plenty of self-congratulatory smugness from sides. Might as well add this to your posts.

I wish I was wrong about the usual suspects not being interested in this story.

But maybe the lack of responses is due to YF not being here to move things along.

 

[Mr. Sunshine]

I mean, without "bigots" or CEOs involved, what's there to say, right?

We should do something drastic. Like wage an open-ended global war against the ideology that inspires attacks like these.

Kill 'em all, let Allah sort them out.

Also, a body count of four isn't enough to really grab people any more in this era in which rampage killings happen at the same rate as they always have.

DW, you're just a walking, talking, hourly-billing Type I error machine!

I have to wonder what role the two recent, unfounded "shots fired" reports at the Navy Yard and Walter Reed played in the response here.

Is that part of the reason why this guy was able to travel SEVEN MILES from one shooting to the next? It's worth asking.

I've been out of town since Sunday and was traveling home yesterday. Here's what I have to say: It's disgusting that you and YF would use the occasion of four marines getting gunned down to troll (starting with the second post of this thread) in such an abjectly insipid manner. Congratulations, you need to really work at it to sink to that level.

And, the people who made Chalreston all about the flag did so to honor the lives of the victims?

I'm all for pulling the flag down. It is a symbol if racism, at least as used in today's society.

But, the people who pivoted from the Charleston shooting to the flag, before the bodies were even buried, weren't honoring the lives of the victims, they were trying to score political points. They thought they could put "racist Republicans" in a pickle, and that they could turn that into a national issue, that would help elect Dems, including, and especially, the unlikable former first lady.

Besides maybe the Pastor/State Senator, can anyone here name a single victim in the Charleston shooting without looking up their names?

But, a radical Muslim can murder four Marines, and there won't be a call for any symbolic action. And, instead of considering the murderous inspiration in the Holy Koran itself, we will hear instead how Islam is a great religion, and a religion of peace.

But, as usual, this guy became more radical as he became more religious.

So you're not upset so much that four Marines were killed, just that their deaths were not respectfully ignored per sj protocol.
