Did Southern Politicians Cause Chattanooga Killings?
London Telegraph ^ | July 19th, 2015 | reasonmclucus

Did the extreme amount of attention southern politicians gave to the Charleston killer cause the recent Chattanooga killings? Was the Chattanooga killer hoping for the same amount of attention the Charleston killer received? The timing of the Chattanooga killings could be a coincidence but such killings are not that common and two of them have occurred in southern states within a month of each other. They occurred in the same time period as the trial of the Colorado theater killer with its national publicity. I didn’t catch the man’s name, but a recent newscast included a comment by the relative of a theater victim about how publicity may encourage such incidents.

Are southerners just basically irrational or just have leaders who are subject to mass hysteria?

Do the politicians hold the TV cameras? Do they pen the articles in the morning newspaper?

What BS. If any politicians were involved, they reside inside that Beltway about a thousand miles north.

Another - ‘don’t look at that man behind the curtain’ ruse.

That’s a reach. Did the Confederate Flag or Dylan Roof inspire this young Jihadi, who had been to Jorday, and who emailed a jihadi Koran verse right before the deed? Really—why look for an obscure, indirect reason, when the obvious Islamic connection is glaring in our faces?

I’m not suggesting the Chattanooga killer suddenly decided to commit murder because of the Charleston killings.

Well, yes you are. Stupid conjecture because there's no ex post method to answer it truthfully.

Say what? Why is this “southern?” Seems to me somebody in their infinite wisdom allowed a whole passel of Muslims to come into this country and become citizens, reasons for which I’ve not yet seen.

If anything, the national hysteria surrounding that shooting in Charleston has been the bastard offspring of American liberal media, blacks who use it to get anything and everything, and an Obama government that is eager, willing and waiting to comply.

Frankly, as a southerner, I’m highly offended.

If any southern politician fanned the flames it was Nikki Haley, and Senator Lindsey Graham.

Other than that, these idiots who cause mischief need to look elsewhere for answers - like islam.

That is as far as anyone needs to read. If Southern politicians gave unwarranted attention to the Charleston killer, it was as nothing as compared to the Southern politician Barack Obama, nor the Southerns in charge of the main stream media, nor the Southern senators and Representatives from some Northern states. Not to mention the Southerner Nancy Pelosi, etc. This writer has probably since suffocated from oxygen deprivation/neck injuries due to his strange anatomical contortions.

It’s time to ban the Islamic flag. It was the flag that caused this.

And it seems to have started with Bush the first. ALL of them want muslims here. And I’ll always believe they get subsidized to buy franchises.

Oh, I agree. We have been far too long influenced by inclusion, diversity and anything outside the realm of everyday Americans. I blame both RINOs and Democrats. To me, none of them are real Americans.

It’s whitey’s fault. It’s the gun’s fault. It’s the politicians’ fault. It’s society’s fault. It’s everyone’s fault but the monster who carried out the deed.

Dumb article. The writer just puts forward a bunch of postulates, but never provides any reasoning, let alone evidence for any of it.

I've never thought much of "journalists" and certainly never thought they were very smart, but even a moron should be able to figure out that the Chatanooga killings were the result of muslim jihad, quietly condoned and encouraged by the bastard in the white hut.

Does the fact that Barack Hussein Obama hates the USA have anything to do with the killings?

I guess evil white southerners have tried to opress Muslims, just like they oppressed the black men that they purchased from the Muslims?

The only solution to these problems is to kick the Southern states out of the Union. We promise not to fire on Ft. Sumter this time.

No, progressives did.

They are the ones who have been sowing the seeds of racial hatred for generations now and, ‘As you sow so shall you reap.’, so I place the blame directly at the feet of the race grievance industry.

And it`s minions.
