MUSLIM ALERT ! All hands on deck !
Why do you think it was a Muslim?
I switched over to CNN to see if he was "possibly white"
John perhaps remembers the Ft Hood massacre when a radical Muslim member of the military (a Major) killed 13 members of the military and wounded 30 more. The piece of shit Obama had just about everyone petrified about saying anything negative about Muslims, lest they be called "Islamophobic," so there was no warning. The piece of shit Obama also tried to cover it up claiming it was workplace violence instead of the act of terror it was.
Lol. Wasn't that amazing. When I heard it, I said right out loud "Are you insane?" But, you know, everything has to fit their narrative and that is why some big cities haven't handed in their crime stats to the FBI.

…and in the next breath:
“… That is somebody trying to poison whatever the investigators might find.”
…funny stuff this…
That is a pretty racist comment
That is somebody trying to poison whatever the investigators might find.
I suspect he was projecting that the conservatives on this site would start blaming Muslims since, in his worldview, conservatives are going to naturally blame them first, even without evidence. To him, it's what we do. Glad to see that no one proved him right, so far.
It is being reported that the shooter was also active military, i wonder if our VA has failed another solder.
If the shooter is active duty, the VA would not be involved.
The shooter was Sgt. Quornelius Samentrio Radford
That may just be the strangest name I've ever heard. Even foreign ones.
