Professor Obama: You Know It’s Hard To ‘Untangle The Motives’ Of The Dallas Shooter

During a press conference in Warsaw at the NATO Summit, Leah wrote about how Obama once again pressed gun control in the wake of the Dallas attack. On July 7, Micah Xavier Johnson, 25, a U.S. Army veteran, ambushed police during a peaceful protest against the recent string of police-involved shooting deaths against black Americans. He shot twelve officers, killing five, in the worst attack on law enforcements since 9/11. Dallas Police Chief Brown said that Johnson, who was held up El Centro College parking complex, said he was upset by the shooting deaths of Alton Sterling in Louisiana and Philando Castile in Minnesota. He was also angry with white people, and that he wanted to kill white people, especially white police officers. Yet, President Obama said that the motive that led to Johnson killing police officer might be “hard to untangle.” Over at Hot Air, they once called Obama “President See-No-Evil.” It appears he’s back.

President Obama on #Dallas: It's hard to "untangle the motives of the shooter" https://t.co/7dClE5Mjr6 https://t.co/YzdDnT3nDf— CNN (@CNN) July 9, 2016

First of all, I think it’s very hard to untangle the motives of this shooter. As we’ve seen in a whole range of incidents with mass shooters, they’re, by definition, troubled. By definition, if you shoot people who pose no threat to you—strangers—you have a troubled mind. What triggers that, what feeds it, what sets it off—I’ll leave that to psychologists and people who study these kinds of incidents.

Obama Covers For Police Killer: "Hard To Untangle Shooters Motives"

Troubled? Micah Xavier Johnson and others like him to commit mass shootings are troubled? You don’t say, professor. When someone tells Dallas Police negotiators that they want to kill white people, especially white officers—they’re troubled? I need to sit down, really. Of course, these people are messed in the head. In fact, the vast majority of mass shooters exhibited signs of mental illness, but are still able to legally buy firearms. Maybe we just need a better mental health system, but no one wants to discuss that because liberals want to die on the expanded background check hill, which won’t pass this Congress.

Before Dallas Police sent a robot armed with an explosive device to kill Johnson, he offered his motives. They seem pretty clear, just like the motives that reportedly drove Dylann Roof to kill nine black people in a church in South Carolina.

it’s hard to untangle anything with your head as far up your ass as Obama’s is.

Why the singular?

There was more than one shooter. The police press release said he was in custody after a shootout. This guy was killed later.

Where is the other shooter? Why are they covering this up????

Just remember, the world the MSM presents is the fantasy world they yearn for and has nothing to do with reality and our day to day lives.

Basically the shooter is simply a younger, straight Obama, but without all the degrees and affirmative action bennies.

Very, very little difference.

He said. He wanted to kill white people and especially white cops. That was his motive. He followed your rhetoric and the climate you created you dreamed you racist drag Obama.

But if it had been a white guy, it would have been easy to determine the motive. I.E.: He was a white racist, and by definition a terrorist. Or at least that’s what Barry would say.

I saw that press conference and I was actually worried about Obama. He looks very skinny his hair is practically white. I don’t want him as president but I don’t wish him physical harm and I wonder if he’s ok.

Maybe his handlers/stylists are just dying his hair and have him on a diet. Wisdom.

There was the guy with the gun who turned it over to the cops and was cleared, there were the people in the Mercedes who turned out to be picking someone up at the bus station and were cleared. Who specifically are you talking about?

It seems by the forensics there probably was at least one other shooter involved, and I’m sure the cops are busy looking for him. But I don’t recall they arrested anyone yet.

Yes, at about this time last year it was blaming the Confederate flag and “The Dukes of Hazzard” and Civil War memorials for that young man’s bloody rampage in Charleston. What a twit. And I still see people on Facebook comment on how cool they think he is, smdh.

Obama is a peanut and corn, putrid turd sitting on hot asphalt.
