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.

Well, hell, Brian, weren't you there?
Fer cryin' out loud, if you can't make a determination while actually on the SCENE, yourself, then who can?
Pulitzer and Emmy...baby!
Brian sits on a couch waiting for a station to call that he is needed.
And you should be saying “semantically correct.”
And you should be aware that people do prop themselves up on their prides by focusing their hate squarely on a single factor, like Islam or abortion or drug dealing, that fills their mind.
Not to say that we want any of these influences to influence society. But even C. S. Lewis warned about this trap.
I don’t care what their “reasons” might have been, beheading a child is undiluted evil.
Sigh... I mean mitigated, of course
Geranium
How about what the bible calls the unforgivable sin?
That is objectively worse than all.
I can’t believe you’re being argumentative regarding whether or not beheading a child is evil.
Are you referring to how the Syrian forces beheaded the suspected spy?
Is there a certain age after which this would be fine?
I am arguing about whether it is the worst evil.
It might be that you would have damned Paul to hell... just think about it.
I’m not talking about sin, in this case. Even a rational atheist can know that beheading a child is evil.
Sin is not evil? Committing evil acts is not sin? You quibble to stroke your pride.
Ah, actual honest atheists believe that humans construct concepts of evil and good. An act cannot be evil to them in the way it is evil to a believer.
Look, I’m done with you, again. It is EVIL in any normal person’s book to murder a child. This isn’t a theology debate, it’s as simple as calling it evil to murder a child.
Can’t one of these be a violent conservative? They even claimed it was a right winger before they knew anything.
Pray America wakes
These idiots are just as dangerous as the actual murderers. If they have their way, they will end up getting many more of us killed.
January 20 can’t come soon enough!!!!
And Shepard Smith... unctuous ....sanctimonious...he brought up that it was the nth anniversary of the crazy swede that went on a killing spree. he brought up the Nazi underground. He was dying to absolve muslim radicals for this Fridays’ homicidal jihad. Sorry Shepard. Wrap that scarf a little tighter around your head agin’ the icy winds of gut life truth. A few minutes later I flipped the channel on the last Faux News Channel show I can stand. So I’m glad I missed Bret totally disgracing himself. Maybe I can start watching him again in couple of weeks unless the Megan Kelly spring on Faux renders me completely averse.
deranged people without the affiliation,

Brian, listen to yourself. Slowly.
