David Hogg and Elliot Rogers have a lot in common when it comes to women.

I would bet that he’s among the 3 percent of the Armenian population that genuflects to allah aka satan.

I’ve known many Armenians and Lebanese over the years-—all Christians.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Far too many call themselves Christian yet are nothing of the sort. A true Christian has sincerely turned from sin and accepted Christ into his heart as his Savior. They are, in the words of Christ himself, born again.

Think that describes this guy?

When are we going to ban assault cars! Anything with more than 4 cylinders can be used as a weapon.


With a big enough rubber band, a really small car could be made to go faster and farther! Ban giant rubber bands!

Couldn’t tell you,I never met this guy-——the ones that I knew were good Christians.

I've been rebuffed by women and it never occurred to me to mow people down with my car.

Just a little counselling from an older and wiser woman helped me. I was told by one lady, "Just keep on trying, you will find the right woman and you will never be able to get away from her". Now married for 56 years. Tragedy is that for lonely men, there is just the right female person out there somewhere.

The Canadian police officer was absolutely goaded by this wretched man. Pulling out a cell phone and making violent gestures- saying "shoot me". Now they have his miserable body, he was arrested quickly. At least we might know more now.

Because I think Armenians are mostly Christians, the assumption being posted here is that the perp is a Muslim.

Why?

Armenians are Christian, the Muslim equivalent is Azeri (as in Azerbaijan).

There was also the man who shot and killed women in a gym near Pittsburgh in 2009.

These are the kind of people who would benefit from ‘robot’ love partners. Not for me though. I much prefer the real deal, but some people never do learn how to relate to others, or they just have a long string of bad luck.

“Note the terrorism denial. “It wasn’t part of an organized terror attack”.”

Translation = it was terrorism but not by organized terrorism. That is the new norm in Jihad attacks. If you are organized you may be found out. If the hatred is spewed over the internet individuals without organizational support will commit acts of Jihad terrorism.

They said the youtube shooter was a "scorned girlfriend" at first.

I’m pretty sure Armenians are Christian

Orthodox to be generally precise

Mrs.rktman went to Armenia shortly after the soviet union fell apart to help teach them about free enterprise. Her bosses husband was/is Armenian and he went to help translate for them. She really liked the people.
