As neighbors and friends tried to understand why a lone gunman launched two brazen attacks on military sites that left four Marines dead, investigators searched for terrorist ties but so far had found none, authorities said.

Knoxville FBI Special Agent in Charge Ed Reinhold told a late-night news conference that authorities had no leads linking the gunman to international terrorist organizations.

“There is no indication at this point that anyone else was involved,” he said late Thursday.

Check out the guy’s social media. I’ll warrant he did everything but send up flares indicating his feelings and intentions.

Connect these two dots ..
If you can't, you probably work for news media or the government.

I thought Islam is an international terrorist organization.

Sorry, but George Bush has already set the tone there. Religion of Peace, and all that.

I get that there are many peaceful muslims. But Bill Maher, of all people, has got it right. There is something fundamentally wrong with islam.

Hey investigatory idiots...the murderer was a moozlum terrorist!!!!!!!!! Is there a slight possibility that that was his sick motive? ALL moozlums want to murder you and your family. Only some will attempt to do so.

My theory is that his recent increased devotion led him to believe that his drinking has put his soul at risk. So to guarantee his entry into Muslim heaven, he decided to go jihad and murder his way there and to die as a “martyr”.

Like this guy....

Perhaps his 7 month visit to Jordan last year will shed some light.

Idiots.

“Chattanooga gunman’s motive remains a mystery, authorities say”

A typical crock headline from the LA Times. You don’t have to be a brain surgeon to figure out he was an ISIS sympathizer thoroughly committed to killing Americans. A few years ago his old man was suspected of terrorist ties. The sooner we get this scum out of the country the safer out kids and grandkids will be.

Yet the motive for the Charleston, SC church shooting was crystal clear from the start.

He was such a nice hardworking boy that lived by the golden rule and wouldn’t harm a flea. He must have had some reason to do what he did? Maybe he didn’t like the Confederate Flag, maybe he hated homophobes, maybe he didn’t like Christians or Jews? Something set him off. Just wasn’t like him to go off and murder 4 unarmed and unsuspecting Marines like some yellow bellied chicken shooting an guy in the back. Maybe all those girls in Allah’s paradise was just too tempting. Had to be some reason!
