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

I went to high school with one of the marines killed. I had no idea until my mom called.

Today's been a weird day.

Did you know him very well?

So, one post into the thread it was obvious? Bullshirt. You had an angle you wanted to push and you weren't going to take a chance that the reaction wouldn't fit into your narrative, so you jumped right to it.

Then, when you were called out for trolling a thread about the murder of four Marines, you repeatedly tried to change the subject and point fingers at others.

Except by killing those who disagreed with him, he was using a conservative method.

Remember, liberals live and let live, unless there is harm that is being done to others.

Oh, goodie. Now we can really turn this thing into a political pissing match.

Don't blame me; I just respond.

No, and that's been bugging me.

I have this great black hole where those memories should be. Our families were close. His dad was one of the pallbearers at my dad's funeral but until my mom reminded me, I didn't recall that.

And he was closer in age to one of my sisters, so it was more like we went to the same school as we were fairly far apart age wise.

But I don't remember him or his parents, who divorced, in a bit of a local scandal that I also don't remember nor do I remember when his mom made local headlines.

Just weird.

The murderer's dad sounds nice. Baron will applaud the description of the family as "conservative" Muslims:

In addition to blog posts and information from his computer, investigators were also probing the foreign travels of Abdulazeez, 24, a Kuwait-born U.S. citizen who grew up in a conservative Muslim family in Chattanooga and worked as an electrical engineer.
...
According to court documents, Abdulazeez's parents were involved in preliminary divorce proceedings in 2009 in which his mother, Rasmia Ibrahim Abdulazeez, accused his father, Youssuf Saed Abdulazeez, of abusing her and their five children. A complaint filed by his mother said her husband repeatedly beat her, at times in the presence of the children, and "sexually assaulted" her in their home when the children were there.

The document said the father also "announced that he intends to take a second wife, as permitted under certain circumstances under Islamic law, in the parties' native State of Palestine." In addition, it said, the defendant had been "physically and verbally abusive towards the children, striking and berating them without provocation or justification."

It said Abdulazeez's mother was "in fear for her safety" at the hands of her husband, who was ordered to leave the marital home. The couple reconciled several weeks later, records show.

Dad was on a terrorist watch list for a time:

Youssuf Saed Abdulazeez filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection in 2002, and the case was closed in 2005, another court document said.

The FBI investigated him twice — in 1994 and 2002 — for allegedly making financial contributions to entities controlled by Hamas, the Islamist Palestinian militant group that runs the Gaza Strip, U.S. officials said. He was put on a terrorism watch list the second time but later removed.

Murderer couldn't pass a background check:

He was conditionally hired as an engineer at the Perry nuclear power plant near Cleveland, Ohio, and spent 10 days there before he was let go in May 2013 because he failed a background check, said Todd Schneider, a FirstEnergy Corp. spokesman. Schneider would not say why, according to the Associated Press.

Yep, doesn't sound like he was one of those mealy-mouthed wussy liberal parents who try to be friends with their children.

So you think he was guilty, YF?

Sen. Rand Paul a 2016 GOP presidential candidate, told Breitbart News in an exclusive interview here that he wants to restrict immigration from predominantly Muslim countries after the Chattanooga, Tennessee, terrorist attack.

Paul said in an interview backstage at a rally his presidential campaign is holding inside the Hyatt Regency here in downtown Houston:

I'm very concerned about immigration to this country from countries that have hotbeds of jihadism and hotbeds of this Islamism. There was a program in place that Bush had put in place—it stood for entry-exit program from about 25 different countries with a lot of Islamic radicals, frankly. I think there does need to be heightened scrutiny. Nobody has a right to come to America, so this isn't something that we can say 'oh their rights are being violated.' It's a privilege to come to America and we need to thoroughly screen those who are coming.
