Quick Riddle: The 2002 Remix

Q: what's scarier than a lunatic with two blazing guns on a military base?

A: A Jordanian Muslim lunatic with a funny sounding name in traditional garb going to a convenience store that happens to have a mosque nearby to buy coffee in the morning....apparently.



there are so many what the fuck-inducing moments in this video is makes my head spin.

i thought it was bad enough that last evening when Lou Dobbs kept reassuring his audience that the shooter is in fact American. American BORN, even.....of Jordanian descent.

it seems to me that since his citizenship can't be denounced*, now the man's religion and his clothing are under scrutiny.

but how random is it that the reporter says he drove to the store in a car with a Virginia license? erm...he's from Virginia!

and stating he may have had a conflict, due to his Muslim faith, with shooting and killing other Muslims in war kinda implies that NO ONE ELSE WHO WAS SHOT was Muslim. now is that a fact? i don't know. and i bet the reporter doesn't know either.

there was so much speculating and pointless scrutiny going on, for a second i though perhaps i was watching TMZ!

it goes without saying that i'm not trying to defend this dude's actions. i'm just noting that there surely wasn't this much scrutiny when Tim McVeigh blew up that federal building and killed those people, right? did anyone reassure us he was American-born, of ___________ descent?

oh, right. no one had to tell us HE was American.

and now instead of focusing on the fact that a horrible tragedy has struck the victims, their families and the family of the shooter....all of us, American....we have CNN showing us surveilance footage of the shooter buying coffee at 6:00 am.

listen it's not 2002, you don't have to try to scare us by throwing out hints that the dude is a terrorist sympathizer motivated by anti-American sentiment. 8 years later, i can recognize the buzz words from a mile away.

just tell us the news.

An American soldier coldly murdered 13 people and injured 32 on a military base in TX.

we should be comforting one another, not taking this as yet another chance to throw suspicion on the Muslim faith.

why won't racism let Americans be great?

*at least i don't think it can be denounced but can someone check to see if Orly Taitz has filed a lawsuit demanding to see his birth certificate yet?
