To quote the formerly smartest woman in the world, before she got dementia, "What difference, at this point, does it make?"
I've read that in these cases, drawing and quartering usually reduces the risk of the condition recurring.
I have no doubt that soon we’ll find out that he was French like george soros is American. (that is, not in the slightest)
Darn workplace violence again..screaming ALLAH AKBAR which just means GO LAKERS..nothing to see here folks..Islam is all about peace don’t ya know/sarc
Just another amok. Routine in Muslim countries. Nothing to see here. Move along.
Why do I get the feeling, that the authorities will blame anyone or anything, before they call it Islamic terrorism? Maybe western governments really don’t care if the Muzzies kill a bunch of us.
Good thing they have gun control. God forbid an innocent law abiding citizen should “hurt” a criminal.

Another day, another blatant islamic attack, another denial by the dhimmis running the security operations in western nations.
This has absolutely nothing to do with Islam which is a religion of peace.

So the Islamic terrorist next to you may not be the Arab, but the blonde, blue-eyed all-American looking kid. What's the common, evil, factor? Islam
It’s just a fad. Don’t read anything into it. This all has NOTHING to do with Islam, which, as everybody knows is a Religion of Peace.
I’m also glad to see gun control is working. /s/
Any Caucasian who doesn’t carry these days is an idiot.
