I’m very concerned that this attack may spur Christo-phobia in the Muslim community.

I suppose we won’t see any “Christians Fear Backlash” stories in the Press.

Lock and load. Stay armed. Stay vigilant! You never know when or where it will come from. This nation has been infiltrated by foreign barbarians who want to kill and destroy us, along with their pals of the Marxist Dimocrat Party.

Just like always, it takes the media a few days to report the story correctly anyway.

I’ve finally learned to take early reports with a grain of salt.

Christo phobia is a feature of Islam, not a bug. It’s how they live their every day lives

If it’s a white shooter, it’s the worst crime in history and must be discussed, revisited and lectured about for years to come. If it’s not a white shooter, it will be dropped from the news immediately.

You may actually have a real cause for concern.

Whoever it is, I doubt it is a white redneck Trump supporter.

New York is making it all about them.

“The New York Police Department said it is deploying more officers to mosques in response to the active shooter situation in San Diego.

“While there is currently no known nexus to NYC or specific threats to NYC houses of worship, out of an abundance of caution, the NYPD is increasing deployments to mosques across the city,” the department said in a statement.”

The New York Times that a mosque security guard is among those killed.
