I didn’t read that article, but I’ve seen the picture of him disrespecting the flag.

>>By the same logic, the NYT should be shut down.

On September 11th, 2001 the NYet Times published a non-critical interview with Communist terrorist Bill Ayers who said he was unwilling to say that he’d never pick up bombing again.

>>And don’t forget the general incompetence of agencies like the FBI. A relative begged the FBI to investigate the twerp who shot up the Florida high school months prior to the shooting. The FBI did nothing.
>>
>>Same with the Boston Marathon bombing. The Russian federation warned the FBI specifically about the two brothers prior to the bombing. Again, nothing was done.

AND the Orlando shooter who told them that he used terrorist language because it was an emotional response to Islamophic comments he’d heard.

AND the Fort Hood shooter. And the San Bernadino shooter...

Yes, it is not like these shooters are hiding in the weeds. They are out there telling anyone that will listen what they intend to do and finally get to act out because no one listened.

Interesting that as soon as they act that it seems that we know all about them.

this is incorrect reporting by NYT - the El Paso killer posted on INSTAGRAM (FaceBook) and the alleged “manifesto” was then taken from there and posted on 8ch AFTER the shooting.
