President Obama On Charleston Church Massacre: This Doesn’t Happen In Other Advanced Countries
CBS New York ^ | June 18, 2015

Posted on 06/18/2015 10:44:56 AM PDT by SJackson

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/ AP) — Following the arrest of a white man Thursday in connection with the slayings of nine people, including the pastor, at a prayer meeting inside a historic black church in downtown Charleston, President Obama said he has had to deliver these remarks too often.

“The attorney general has announced plans for the FBI to open a hate crime investigation,” Obama said from the White House.

“We understand that the suspect is in custody and I’ll let the best of law enforcement do its work to make sure that justice is served. Until the investigation is complete, I’m necessarily constrained in terms of talking about the details of the case. But I don’t need to be constrained about the emotions that tragedies like this raise,” Obama said.

“I’ve had to make statements like this too many times. Communities like this have to endure tragedies like this too many times. We don’t have all the facts, but we do know once again, innocent people were killed in part because someone who wanted to inflict harm had no trouble getting their hands on a gun. Now is the time for mourning and healing but let’s be clear. At some point we have to reckon with the fact that this type of mass violence does not happen in other advanced countries. It doesn’t happen in other places with this kind of frequency.”

...except France, India, Pakistan, Israel, Chechnya, The Philippines, South Africa, etc.

And what do all the massacres in these countries have in common, Obuttboy? Muslim jihadis.

It's called undercover work, and it's pretty much the only way to unravel criminal organizations.

Is that what they were doing? Or was that just their cover story for manufacturing evidence of a "river of iron" flowing into Mexico, that could be used to justify more gun control regulations?

I have no idea. You’re talking about their motives. I was discussing the method.

Most any method can be used for a good or bad end.

I remember a dreadful event in Norway, Mr. President. I guess you weren’t reading the newspapers that day.

Correct Barry. In other advanced countries people take meat cleavers and dice up soldiers in daylight on public roads.

In other countries they anally gang rape children in the name of Allah. To death.

In other advanced countries gangs roam the streets raping and killing with machetes..

Only in evil America does someone kill with a gun. Which is so much worse than gang rape to death and literal butchery.

Does Obama even realize that some attacks on churches in Africa involved barring the doors and setting the church on fire ?

He doesn't see that all the divisiveness he started is turning America into a sewer.

Of course he does and it is on purpose.

Sorry.

The Democrat-controlled American government used armored fighting vehicles against America citizens, including children, at the Branch Davidian facility.

As long as there is a Democrat Party, American citizens must be able to protect themselves.

I'm seeing a pretty clear implication of motive there.

I guess his daily news briefs forget to mention ISIS atrocities against Christians and in their churches.
