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

18-year-old Mohammad joked about his name, and the reaction people had to it:

24-year-old Mohammad got religious, grew a beard, and killed four Marines.
 
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.
 
Which is probably why he didn't.

Read better.

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.

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.

Are you arguing for classifying Muslims as mentally ill? Tell me more.

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.

Yes, your simple single minded focus is quite admirable.

And, we should talk about the angry person who killed four people. Let's talk about his trip to the Middle East. What did he do while there? Who did he spend time with:

Counterterrorism investigators are looking closely at a monthslong trip the Chattanooga shooting suspect took to Jordan in 2014 to determine if he had contact with any extremists or traveled to other countries, according to people familiar with the investigation.

Mohammod Youssuf Abdulazeez, 24 years old, spent about seven months in Jordan last year, according to one person close to the investigation. The visit was one of a number of trips he took to that country during his life. He also held Jordanian citizenship, officials said.

I'm also curious why a guy born in Kuwait had Jordanian citizenship. That doesn't make sense to me.

I'll also never understand why we allow dual citizenship.
 
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.

Except the Islamic religion has positive aspects that millions of people embrace to live their lives.

What positive aspects does the Confederate flag have?

OK. Sure.

But if radical Islamic terrorists and mentally ill white people act out in similar manners, why do we only ever ask why we don't label the mentally ill white people as terrorists?

Why does embracing doctrinal so often result in someone acting like a crazy person? Is radical Islam attractive to the mentally ill, or does radical Islam warp the brain in the same way that mental illness does?
