Financial problems with El Al could be LA gunman's motive: family

The apologising and justification begins. Not a terrorist, just a nut. Tell it to Ms Hen, if it makes her less dead.

All businesses deal with tardy accounts receivables.

[Claudette]

Yeah, I always do that when a company doesn't pay me for services.

You know, kill a couple of their customers..

The desperate defense of this guy by the media is astounding..

[isthisnickcool]

Muslims are taught to hate and kill Jews. And that's what he did. Islam told him to pick up the gun and kill. End of his story.

[Claudette]

And all along they've been saying his depression and angst was brought on by that disgusting American flag his neighbors hung..

[TLBSHOW]

Islam is the enemy we will not be fooled by this bs

[swarthyguy]

Not to mention the tread softly comments of the FBI.

[Ciexyz]

Yup, it was that "in your face" American flag that drove him over the edge. (/sarcasm)

[mombonn]

Yeah, that's right - blame it on El-Al.

sheesh

[lodwick]

LOL - my thoughts exactly - bttt

[IncPen]

Add this to the list of lies:

OKC Bombing
Flight 800
Egypt Air

Happy Birthday President Bush!

[VOA]

Al-Omda said that the Israeli airline had been late in paying for two limousines
that it had rented from Hadayet's service.

Late paying on two limos, kill two Jews. I suppose that passes for justice in some Muslim countries.

Gosh, if the El-Al security guard had just had a bit more sensitivity training,
he would have realized that the business problem had been resolved and there
was no need to shot this poor, dear, mis-understood man.

But me, I'm very insensitive. I say give the El-Al guard a medal, an enriched pension, and
a safe job training more guards.
Especially for the terminals for domestic flights!

Financial problems due to El Al late payment....hmmm, that's a different twist. Well, yesterday morning I predicted the media would be all over the "over reaction by El Al security." I guess this is an alternate tactic by the media. If it doesn't fly, then they will get around to the brutishness of El Al security.

[Hopefully, other airlines will take note and emulate El Al security in the future. If they did, "incidents" could be cut drastically. If they don't, we may see more of these "incidents", even worse, in the future.]

[Tacis]

Organized terrorism doesn't make sense unless he was the diversion for some other action that was supposed to take place after he had been killed and lots of El Al security folks had clustered around. This is a "death by cop" or an individual action.

What true believing Muslim would die to give more force to the myth of El Al invinsibility? As a limo driver in LA, this guy knew where there were far better Jewish targets, Jewish weddings, graduation parties, bar mitzvahs or movie industry get togethers, for example.

I don't know which of you profits by the "terrorists did it" position or why. I am happy to "call" it terrorism because such an act has to help the Republicans in November but, it could be counterproductive if we yell "terrorist" today and find out tomorrow that it was just an invoice 120 days past due.

[Havisham]

Arab Organized Terror (my label) has followed the suicide killer MO many times, using economic incentives for families left behind in return for keeping terrorism in the news. It was terrorism and it's part of their war against America. Any other conclusion is folly.

[guitfiddlist]

So that's why he pasted a bumper sticker on his front door saying "Read the Better Business Bureau Manifesto" before leaving to avenge those delayed payments.

[FITZ]

Waco. They told us these Seventh Day Adventists Americans were terrorists.

For example El Al is _Israel's_ airline. He wanted to strike directly against Israel on US soil.
