I neither know nor care about the skin colour of disgruntled employees. What we're talking about here is ideology, not colour.
Whose ideology?

Well, nothing really. It would hardly be accurate to say it started today, even if this does turn out to be Islamic extremism, because that wouldn't have started today. The World Trade Centre was bombed in 1993, then destroyed by hijacked planes in 2001, then there was the army base shooting and then the Boston bombing.
Let's face facts here, the American muslim population is just as much vulnerable to radicalisation as any European muslim population.
Would a disgruntled employee wear body armor and have accomplices?
You're missing the point. These people didn't get to you by airplane. They were born and bred in your country.
Huh? The named suspect is a Muslim. Of course they are going to respond. They have done so in the past when Muslims are accused of terrible crimes because stupid people take it as confirmation that all Muslims are killers and terrorists.
It looks like they are setting up equipment to do a press conference live. http://abc7.com/live/
By the way, you can't fast forward a live broadcast to get the press conference sooner... my brain absentmindedly tried this twice...
It has not been confirmed that he is Muslim. His estranged father said he was but nothing has been confirmed. Others were looking at his FB and saying he wasn't Muslim. My point was that he MUST be Muslim if they are releasing a statement. And no, not all Muslims are not killers or terrorists. Just like all white guys who live in the mountains without running water aren't killers either. (referring to the crazy guy in CO who had access to weapons.)
All CAIR has to know is he has brown skin and a Muslim-sounding name. They know what's coming next.

Totally agree.
If you are familiar with Lord of the Rings, Tolkien describes the trek of the sociopaths to evil Mordor. Basically, he is stating that evil organizations attract these sociopathic losers who delight in the opportunity to wreak violence under the cover of a "legitimate" cause....
The last PC... an hour ago or so... FBI was leaning more towards terrorism imo. He said they were going down that road.
And you know what else else? Whoever these people were, they could have been on the federal no-fly list due to potential terrorism links (I am NOT saying they were, JUST a hypothetical) yet they could have legally bought assault rifles and other guns to their hearts' content.
My, I feel so much safer thinking about that.
The page isn't loading so I'm going to guess it wasn't him.
Tolkien also gave us this quote, which I think is what we all need to keep in mind now.
‘But in the end it’s only a passing thing, this shadow; even darkness must pass.’ – Samwise Gamgee
