Life details of Tenn. shooter emerge, but motive elusive (srsly??)

Bits and pieces have emerged over the past few days about Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez’s troubled life. But two significant pieces of the puzzle are missing: Why did he ambush two military sites, killing four Marines and a sailor? And was he propelled to do so by his own demons or at the direction of someone else?

Until last Thursday’s shooting, the Kuwait-born 24-year-old was not on the radar of terrorism investigators. As a result, a portrait of his background, contacts, computer use and travels must be assembled from the ground up and pieced together.

He blended into everyday life in Chattanooga as a clean-cut high school wrestler who graduated from college with an engineering degree and regularly attended a local mosque.

But he also had a more turbulent side, as evidenced by his arrest for drunken driving after returning from Jordan. He was set to face a judge later this month. …

MoHamhead (Pigs be inseminating him) commands moHamhead to commit mohamicide for 1400 years, but it has nothing to do with ISlame!

Right..... What did you do with your 2500 in healthcare savings?

Looks like they’re setting up a “depressed suicidal guy goes nuts” excuse.

Setting up a “depressed suicidal guy” influenced by southern culture. The bit about an “Arab Redneck” was quoted anonymously .... go figure.

No one is buying their crap any more. They haven't stopped selling it, however with this last episode, they trashed any credibility they had, even with the neanderthal leftists.

What with the father reputedly being an abusive aggressor himself, as well as actually “Palestinian”, not likely. And there’s also that bit about “the perp” visiting Kuwait and Jordan before doing this.

End of story? Only if he were the last of his kind, never mind the fact that he took five of our military personnel with him. Story not over by far.

Since shiny, happy people don’t go on mass murder-suicide sprees, the Obama minions can deploy the mental illness/substance abuse smokescreen whenever politically convenient. The Charleston mass murderer was as young, alienated, depressed, drunken, and deluded as the redneck jihadi, but the media received the “racism/Confederate flag” talking points for that one.

Currently the Left is shopping mental health as its new vehicle for more gun control, ginning up fears that everyone (excepting heavily armed government agents) is likely to descend into madness at any moment.

The last thing Obama wants you to realize is that a certain percentage of Muslim children brought to the US by their parents (not their own choice), will inevitably grow up with a sense of anomie and not belonging. They will indulge in the pervasive vice and violence that is contemporary American mass culture, try to reconnect with their “roots”, become religious extremists, blame the US for their own lack of self-control, and in some cases commit terrorist acts here or join armies abroad to prove and “redeem” themselves. ISIS and other jihadi groups are quite aware of this and use the internet and agents at mosques to recruit the disaffected.

Since 9-11, the US government has been actively importing vast numbers of Muslim immigrants — many of them living on the public dole — and spreading them across the country. The article notes that the feds can’t believe the shooter was a terrorist because he wasn’t on their radar screen. Given his trips to Jordan and possibly Qatar, possible use of other names, and obvious jihadi internet posts, they have to be willfully ignoring the obvious for PC reasons. This will not end well.

And they surely know the motives of all those who display the Confederate flag.

Sound like they want to blame the drugs and liquor, not remembering that ISIS, for one, doesn’t universally need them.

Maybe he needed the drugs and liquor to finally stomach what he thought his duty to Allah was to do.

Yup - if liquor and other drugs played a role, it was as means not cause.

Oh, it was without question and impossible to prejudice the trial or the public.

Motive? Mosque = base camp. Method = quran.

Totalitarianism is a mental disorder. 1400 years running. Unprecedented expansion into infidel homelands with aid and comfort from within. The slaughter has barely begun.

The shooter realized he was a sinner and tried to atone for them by works.

Let’s see - he visited Islamic countries, sent out an Islamist tweet shorly before the carnage, and - they mentioned this at the very beginning but quickly stopped talking about it - IT WAS THE LAST DAY OF RAMADAN!
