Starkiller Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 The big question is obviously whether this guy was just a lone wolf or part of a group. He apparently acted alone, but we will see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OILERMAN Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 Obvious Trump supporter! Although early reports are the guy was dressed up in a pirate costume with an eye patch! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starkiller Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 Bigotry is the same whether it's from a Muslim or Christian. This guy is a terrorist just like Dylan Roof was. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
9 Nines Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 Might help Trump but it might make Trump double down on barring Muslims from entering the US (even though guy was born in US) which will hurt him with general electorate, and people motivated to bunker down because of this are probably already Trump supporters anyway, so not much marginal gain from it. Also, Trump will get minimal air time for his planned speech tomorrow because of coverage on this. So hard to tell if this will help Trump or not, plus it will be forgotten/downplayed after a week or so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pat Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 These shootings should be investigated as domestic terrorism regardless of the identity of the shooter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who has declared a Jihad against the West? Christians? Nope. Muslims? Yupp. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fairly easy for one to pick and chose which parts of the Constitution and sacred and which are not. You just go with your feelings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yupp. No one is excusing Muslim terrorists based on their faith anymore than the KKK should be excused for Christianity. But when 1 guy kills a bunch of people you don't blame millions of innocent people who share his religion for his actions. ISIS is an enemy, not Islam.
