The Columbus Terror Attack and the Left’s Willful Blindness
National Review ^ | November 28, 2016 | by JEREMY CARL

Posted on 11/28/2016 1:05:56 PM PST by Behind Liberal Lines

The latest Somali immigrant attack in America’s heartland was as predictable as it was preventable. Ten people are hospitalized in an attack that could have been much worse, but for our fortunate ability to counter the terrorist with an armed response.

The Left has no excuse — none whatsoever — for it’s decision to allow the mass immigration to America of a group with few economic prospects and a hugely disproportionate percentage of people who are planning attacks on Americans. And yet, they’ve done it and continue to do it, and Donald Trump is one of the few who has called them out on it. That’s one big reason why he’s President-elect Trump and the amnesty-promoters are finally, at least for now, back on their heels....

It may seem hard-hearted to some to not immediately embrace any “disadvantaged” group (and Somali immigrants are certainly disadvantaged) but there is a term for people who are only able to think in emotional terms, rather than rational ones, when it comes to balancing compassion and the national interest. Those people are called liberals — and they are not people we should let anywhere near GOP policymaking.

But if we stop bringing in millions of savage Somalis who will work in our airports?

They can publish articles kissing up to Trump from now until the cows come home. Not another penny from me.

You let them in the country, they breed and read their indoctrination manual, they believe it and kill humans.

Unhinged liberals are foaming at the mouth now. Had one commenter on CBS News online claim the attack was the result of Trump raising up all the hatred. And that the Democrats weren’t going to “clean up the messes anymore”.

I keep thinking this level of delusion has to be harmful to the liberal cause, but then I see the voting patterns and I’m not so sure.

A quicker response by police than Columbine.

Interesting that the building next door had a fire alarm pulled about 20 minutes before the start of the attack. There were police onsight as the attack started because of the alarm. Seems highly coincidental.

The local LEOs learned a lot from Columbine.

On Aug 25, Artan was interviewed by the OSU newspapaper, The Lantern. Here is that interview and transcribed below.

Humans of Ohio State

By Kevin Stankiewicz
"I just transferred from Columbus State. We had prayer rooms, like actual rooms where we could go to pray five times a day. There's Fajr, which is early in the morning, at dawn. Then Zuhr during the daytime, then Asr in the evening, like right about now. And then Maghrib, which is like right at sunset and then Isha at night. I wanted to pray Asr. I mean I'm new here. This is my first day. This place is huge, and I don't even know where to pray. I wanted to pray in the open, but I was kinda scared with everything going in the media. I'm a Muslim, it's not what the media portrays me to be. If people look at me, a Muslim praying, I don't know what they're going to think, what's going to happen. But, I don't blame them. It's the media that put that picture in their heads so they're just going to have it and it, it's going to make them feel uncomfortable. I was kind of scared right now. But I just did it. I relied on god. I went over to the corner and just prayed."

The National Review purged john O’Sullivan & several other immigration restrictionists in the 90s because they wanted to restrict this kind of immigration. Now they are pointing fingers....

Marion Marechal Le Pen called them out - "Those who said there is no problem now say there is no solution."

The Atlanta newspaper’s website has now dropped all mention of Ohio State. The loud-mouthed Trump supporter who got banned from Delta airlines is still featured.

Doesn’t matter where the station is, Columbine dragged out all day with kids inside.
