While some of us might be willing to examine the Muslim angle to this story...if you were a kid in Bosnia...when the ethnic cleansing was taking place...you are screwed for the rest of your life. It doesn't matter what religion you had...there was death around every turn. The US took in alot of these refugees...and this kid is simply episode number one that we will have face.

He must have been another one of those Bush Administration
plants, sent in there to distract attention from that WOT
thing. I'm certain that those at the DU will get to the
bottom of this....JJ61(wink)

The media showed an interesting and obvious reluctance to initially disclose, let alone discuss, eighteen year old Talovic’s religious persuasion...

Let there be no doubt that had the perp been a professed Christian the MSM would've repeated that fact ad nauseam.

I, also, believe this was a "terrorist" attack. One of those independent terrorist actions the jihadists are always encouraging. I'd not heard ANY news source report that this thug uttered the "God is Great" mantra, although it is clearly audible on the video.

I agree with his father though, there was clearly someone who helped him obtain the weapons AND the practice space and training to use said weapons.

Throughout our nation's history we have taken in the hapless victims of other nations' wars, but I don't ever recall having to worry about them, individually or collectively, becoming, for no apparent reason, suddenly unhinged and killing Americans. MANY of our legal immigrants have witnessed, and been the victims of, horrible crimes, but I just know of to many who HAVEN'T reacted in such a fashion.

I always wonder years ago when we have the kinds of killings go back to the first time when that 16 years in the play ground of Arizona shoot those kids them himself.

There is a pattern in most all of these cases.

To get our attention like a reallity show and experiment in how we as people will respond.

Another reason is to distract us from some other important even going on and our focus is diverted to these events.

Don't get me wrong this still could also be a Jhadist that was activated to distract our minds.

So the next time one of these kind of events take place also look around to see what else was taking place elsewhere!

The father of Trolley Square shooter Sulejmen Talovic apologizes over and over for the ordeal. Suljo Talovic says no one who knew his son saw this coming, and he believes someone pushed him to do it.

At the mosque the shooter prayed at, the month previously the imam was dismissed and disappeared:

The relative said the abrupt departure - one that left the imam "in shock" - was driven by something more than his marital issues. The imam, the relative said, had recently raised concerns about board finances, the exclusion of women from the board and the housing of "suspicious" individuals in the mosque.

Is it a written rule? A gentlemen agreement?

Is it taught in journalism school?

Why does a massacre like this not reach the light of day in the mainstream media?

If the Utah Shooter event were to get the coverage Anna Nicole Smith and Britany Spears are getting, it would lead to the bloodshed of innocent people.

The Islamics weren't the only ones in the past 100 years that butcher whole groups of people.

IMO, that's the reason. And probably a good one.
