LAX shooter an "Arab-Looking" guy...Eyewitness

[_Jim]

"It appears to be terrorism."

Justify that position substantively.

Just WHAT would you attribute to an isolated incident of an Arab male going berserk ON HIS OWN?

We have White Males who do this EVERY SO OFTEN - **WHY** is this a terrorist act?

Do you think Bin Laden called for it?

[Jhoffa_]

People, how many folks have to die before we realize what we have to do: round up every Muslim in the country, and offer the choice between deportation and a bullet in the ear.

This kind of hysterical ranting is just the kind of thing that will turn the US into a police state and ensure that we are all in constant danger. It's one guy with a gun in LA in a country of nearly 300 million.

I am sorry it happened, but in the big scheme of things it's clearly not the crisis you make it out to be.

It's one guy so far.. (1)

[_Jim]

"Even Peres says it's a terrorist incident."

Oh - so YOU, too, say that Bin Ladern probably called for this?

Daft and un-supportable by facts, logic OR reason ...

Who's NOT dealing with reality NOW Thatch?

[_Jim]

"It's one guy so far.. (1)"

Not so fast -

- Thatch is going to come back in a minute and with typical woman's intuition state that there were HUNDREDS waiting in the parking area ready to pour in ...

Thanks for the nice words the other day! I appreciate your support whenever I'm thrown in the cooler. It's always a pleasure watching folks try to match you in the jibba-jabba smack talk game. You: Godzilla. Them: Tokyo. Regards!

Good points. I guess we've gotten to the point where all attacks of any kind are surely terrorists at work. What I want to know is what stopped all of the truly random, idiotic acts of violence that used to be perpetrated by dark-haired individuals prior to 9-11? Since every single incident is now presumed to be terrorist-related, we can assume that all of the nutcases who used to do these things for no good reason are healed, mentally healthy, and no longer menacing. Quite an accomplishment.

The terrorists are truly winning if we credit them behind every act perpetrated by the same dingbats we've had doing such things for years. Let our investigators be objective and thorough and let's find out what happened, but to label every act terrorism is foolish without more facts. Sorry for the soapbox.

Why are you tanking for the rags? Would we, or would we not be a safer nation if every Muslim/Arab were rounded up? Are the forces trying to destroy our country Muslims/Arabs or not? What have Arabs/Muslims contributed, in any real sense, to this country?

And what would be the downside of ridding ourselves of every one of those foul-reeking barbarians and their pagan religion? I say round them up by the bushel. Every muslim in this country should be considered a potential terrorist.

A gun in the hand of a law abiding Citizen saved innocent lives today......THAT IS WHAT THE HEADLINES SHOULD READ TOMORROW

They should.... but they won't.

[leilani]

Oh for heavens' sake: "How did an Arab-looking guy get past security?" Don't you know, although Saudi Arabia's corrupt, dissolute "kingdom" has virtually declared war on every American man, woman, infant & toddler, middle-eastern folks have to be given a free pass at the airport because Paula Zahn, Dan Rather,and Katie Couric say we should.Keep buying products from the nutcake corporations who sponsor these weirdos, and YOU TOO are responsible for the death of innocent Americans , guys.

"Just heard on the news...he was an Afghan celebrating a wedding by firing into the air. It's tradition."

No, I heard he was Taliban but became a civilian just before he was killed. That's also a tradition.

[_Jim]

"Would we, or would we not be a safer nation if every Muslim/Arab were rounded up?"

Who is next after them?

Blacks?

I think it might have been a disgruntled Muslim loner trying to collect his virgins.. I don't have a problem wth that considering it was EL air.

But, honestly if this was a bonafied Osama deal then if I were him I would hang my head in shame. When a super secret world terror org pulls off a big mission and this is the result, I think we have very little to worry about.

Statistically you are probably in more danger in your car on the way to the airport if that's the way it is.

[Gurn]

Just WHAT would you attribute to an isolated incident of an Arab male going berserk ON HIS OWN?

I'd say that since Arabs and muslims are incapable of civilized behavior, it's par for the course. It's typical towel-head behavior, and the rags should be treated as the sub-humans they are. Round them up now. Get them out of our country.

[MinuteGal]

If the shooter was a terrorist maybe he got frustrated sitting around all day waiting for Bin Laden's taped message due to be aired today. Maybe he decided to send his own message.

Why are you tanking for the rags?

I am not, I personally dislike the muslim religion..

However, it's not that big a deal.. And remember OK City?

I bet there were more than a few leftists who would have gladly thrown all of FR in the can to "keep America safe"

It's just not that big a deal at this point and I will always be more afraid of a police state than I will of osama and the dirty underwear gang.

[_Jim]

Agree 100%.

[pabianice]

"Screech! Racism!"

[Boss_Jim_Gettys]

"The SIMPLE act of having attacked AA *might* have changed my mind - BUT IT WAS EL AL !"

Are you saying there are no Palis or Pali sympathizers in the U.S.?

[Gurn]

Refresh my memory: who flew those planes on 9/11?

C'mon. Help me out, since you've got a ready supply of sanctimony and moral vanity. Was it black guys from Harlem, or Memphis, or Philadelphia flying those planes?

You need to either crawl back under a rock, or get over your political correctness, but still, you should realized that Arabs and Muslims want to destroy this country. How many more thousands of your countrymen need to die at the hands of the rags before you'll realize that?

[lizma]

LOL! Too true.

Last time I flew with my family they totally emptied out my 10 year old, blonde, son's bakpack.
