One military reaction to the horrific shooting in Chattanooga, Tennessee, is making a viral impact on social media.
The reaction is from U.S. Marine and Medal of Honor recipient Dakota Meyer.
Meyer posted to his Facebook:
Just a few hours ago Chattanooga, TN was struck with tragedy as four United States Marines were shot and killed and one Law Enforcement Office was wounded in attacks on a Navy/Marine Corps recruiting office and Navy Reserve center. First and foremost my thoughts and prayers go out to the families those four Marines left behind.
This incident IS an act of domestic terrorism, regardless of how Washington spins it, regardless of what nationality, color, creed, or otherwise the shooter was. This was a planned attack on the United Stated Military on United States soil.
Now is not the time to come out waiving photos of bullet holes in the glass calling for more gun control and spinning the story to yield a further separation of peoples in the Unites States. Now is the time for a call on the American people to finally realize the state of the world we are living in and the enemy that we face. Now is the time to call on the [sic] on the American people to ignore the propaganda that special interest groups have been shoving in our faces and unite as a country so that we may become our neighbor’s keeper.
Evil is not just over seas, but also here at home. Moments after this tragedy had occurred ISIS sent out via Twitter that they were responsible for the attacks and that the shooter, Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez was one of theirs. ISIS said recently that they were coming to American soil to kill members of the United States Military and now that threat has come to fruition.
I, for one, do not plan to give away by ability [sic] to defend myself and those I care about. I carry a firearm with me at all times legally under the conceal and carry laws in the area that I am in. I do not call for a disarming of American [sic] but instead a full institution of the 2nd Amendment so that we may defend ourselves as a country from all threats, both foreign and domestic. ”

They hate the West.
Why are they here ?
If Hussein had known that Dakota Meyer would "tell it like it is", he would've seen to it that this HERO never got the MOH.
I believe the authorities are calling it domestic terrorism.
Because hate is all they know. They even hate themselves.
It's JIHAD, Stupid!
Will anyone call for a stop to immigration from Muslim countries???
We can honor our history as a nation of immigrants and all that, but still not want to see our country overwhelmed by illegals. Or by Muslims who do not share our values.
We had much more control over immigration before Ted Kennedy’s immigration reform of 1965. That law opened up immigration from countries which previously had sent few people to America. Among those groups are Muslims.
I know liberals would howl if we singled out Muslim countries as places from which we would no longer accept immigrants. But do we control our own country or not? Do we have the right to determine who comes here or not? To listen to liberals, because of our history as a nation of immigrants, that means we have to allow anyone from any part of the world at any time, to enter our country. I disagree with that. I wish some politicians would have the stones to talk about such issues.

Domestic Terrorism yes! But one mislabeled error that no one will admit to, and that it may have happened domestically, but is a case of IMPORTED international Islamic terrorist hate groups. Let’s really say what it is. They (muzzies) hate Americans and will do this over and over until we stop it.
They are here for their holy werx...
If anyone is following CNN, they are claiming to be mystified about this clean cut kid.
“Wrong!! It’s more “gun violence”, people. That’s what the dictator says. Lay down your arms. The Dictator will protect us.
I wound not let that evil SOB touch me.
There is nothing DOMESTIC about foreigners murdering Americans. Not one thing!
“Why are they here ?”
They hate us because our civilization is richer and has more opportunity. We are also not slaves. I think they intend to make us slaves but also retain all of the West’s wealth as their own. But the fact that we are (or, rather, were) free is what made the wealth.
It’s as if you see a rainbow and think it’s beautiful, so you put it into a jar.
Domestic terrorism as opposed to international terrorism are two entirely different entities.
Domestic terrorism will be a foundation for more cries for gun control. Domestic terrorism implies the motivation to kill 4 marines stems from flaws in American society that breeds the hate.
This a$$hat was pretty much motivated as a muzzie (you know the international religion of peace) to kill Americans period!!
Great point and vital to keep in mind.
