Which is probably why he didn't.
So you're not upset so much that four Marines were killed, just that their deaths were not respectfully ignored per sj protocol.
So do these deaths make you as upset as, say, people drawing cartoons. In a vacuum, how much do you really care?
I think the murder of these Marines is despicable. I also thinks it's terrible that certain people will either ignore completely or talk in circles in service to their political correctness. But hey, it's just a random killing of four American military members. Nothing to see here.
Please note that the usual subjects don't want to talk about an angry person taking a gun and killing multiple people. It's always has to be religion, flags, etc...
As with any gun related murder, I want to know who was the original purchaser of the weapon and if this person was legally allowed to own it.
Middle Easterners who kill are radical terrorists killing in the name of religion and reflect the views of all Muslims, who want to take over the world.
White Americans who kill are mentally ill.
It's really very simple.
Read better.
Are you arguing for classifying Muslims as mentally ill? Tell me more.

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.
I think every race and religion has its disturbed individuals.
America is perhaps unique in allowing them all to legally own an arsenal of assault rifles, however.
