Brian Williams On Munich Attack: Rooting For It Not To Be ISIS

BY: Chandler Gill July 22, 2016 6:47 pm

Hours after the attack in Munich, Germany, MSNBC’s Brian Williams said it was a strange feeling to root for this attack to not be related to the Islamic State.

“And why does it feel so strange to kind of root for it not being ISIS?” he asked.

Williams then said that he was hoping this attack would break the cycle of IS attacks. This comes after the recent attacks in Istanbul, Turkey, and Nice, France in which multiple innocent people were tragically killed at soft target locations.

IS claimed responsibilities for these.

“To kind of– you know, to break the cycle even though every death is an absolute tragedy and this just means we have deranged people without the affiliation, you know?” Williams said.

Journalist Richard Engel had pointed out that there has been no proof that confirmed that this was IS.

“We don’t know that this was ISIS and it’s possible that it wasn’t,” he said. “The assumption, and it’s a logical assumption based on all the attacks that we’ve seen recently, that it is ISIS, but there are certain things that are very unusual about this.”

Engel cited that there was a small number of casualties, as well as the use of very small weapons and that these do not match typical IS-inspired strikes.

He added that with the small number of deaths, that this could be indicative of the attacker fleeing, which is also not common in ISI attacks.

Meanwhile, everybody else on Planet Earth with two brain cells to rub together knew precisely who it was and why.

As far as I can tell, their cause is always the same. Hating fellow citizens because they can’t control them.

I’m seeing Lefties in total denial that this could be in any way Islam-related. “Just a crazy kid, imitating Brevik.” Buying the official line from the German authorities that they KNOW, and knew within about 24 hours of the attack, that this was non-Islam-related. How convenient for Frau Merkel.

And, again, the Lefties I engage with are vehemently parroting this line, they’ve bought it hook, line and sinker. I think some of them probably still think Nadal Hassan was just random workplace violence.

Seriously.
