Radio news reports this as a “mass casualty event”.

Horrible.

Our infrastructure is so frigging vulnerable, the leftist argument that we let these predators in and then take the occasional hit is more than evil.

God bless Donald Trump for putting up the good fight to save our country. (Whether or not this particular incident is terrorist related.)

Contact one of the Clintons axe men and have him wacked instead of firing him ,,, they never get caught and they leave no trail . Firing is way too messy . (SARCASM),just in case an aggressive FBI agent thought I was serious .

Some one said with the new run their might have been big whigs on board. More insensitive to “show the folks what this baby can do.”
