Active shooter in Colorado Springs

[Darwin333]

What would you do to stop mass murder?
It is viewed as such, and thus justifies all sorts of extreme action.

Commit mass murder myself? That takes a whole lot of leaps to justify.

 

[fskimospy]

Actually they do. They're not generally suicidal. It's against their religion.

So is mass murder, last time I checked, haha.

 

[allisolm]

CNN has it that one of the police officers died.

"A police officer shot during Friday's siege at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs has died, the Colorado Fraternal Order of Police said on Twitter."

So far the one officer and two civilians are confirmed dead.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Another sad day in America.

 

[Bubbleawsome]

Yes, 1 officer and 2 civilians are dead.

I think given the topic and who the terrorist was in this incident, this article is relevant: http://www.mintpressnews.com/white-...st-terror-threat-in-the-united-states/211608/

 

[shabby]

That label only applies to brown Muslims.

Like so?

That would denote greater political motivation and organizational support.
What terrorist group supports or claims responsibility for the shooter?

Crazy pro-life republican christians?

Wonder if they would say christian terrorist since they say Muslim terrorist.

Hopefully.

Will Fox News' headline tomorrow be:
Radical Right Wing Christian Terrorist kills 3 in Colorado!
Somehow, I doubt it.

Right Wing groups who identify as Christians have committed more acts of Terrorism in the US since 9/11 than have Muslims. Will the same posters who come in here with a sarcastic "religion of peace" say the same about this (likely, details to follow) Christian?

It's time to condemn all of these acts - and it's time people get their heads out of their asses and realize that the religion of the offender does not mean that the majority of people of that religion are bad.

I sure hope he's a Christian jihadist...I get hard just thinking about it!

Christians dont have to be jihadist because they can be "forgiven". Its a cool trick of the religion that allows its practitioners to do horrible things.

You seem to know a lot about this...how did you come by such profound knowledge?

 

[senseamp]

Surrendering? That seems odd. These don't usually end like that.

He's pro-life, you see. His own.

No it doesn't. People think they're in combat to right a grievous wrong.
It begins with the stupidity that their individual and horrific action makes any positive difference. Once that short circuit is complete they’re running off to save the day…

Well of course not, there's near universal condemnation of this !@#$'er. The same cannot be said of the Paris attackers.

 

[senseamp]

Shooter identified as Robert Lewis Dear, "religion of peace" strikes again.

Uh, nowhere in the news do I see his religion. Only his name, and that he's 59.

Whatever his religion is, I am sure it is "of peace."

I haven't seen large Christian rallies denouncing this man's terrorist acts. Until Christians come out in large groups and publicly denounce his actions and state that abortion is a right and privilege and those using that service should not be attacked, then white right wing Christian males are all terrorists and so are their supporters. Every single Christian should be publicly apologizing for this guy right now, I'm going to turn on Fox News and hold my breath for the apologies to roll in.

Way to take partisan prickery to a new level....especially when investigators do not have a motive. Sure there are whackos that kill in the name of the bible... But how can you even compare this to an organization that has billions in revenue, operates across the Middle East, Africa, Europe, and the U.S., brutally beheads Christians and other Muslims, rapes children, and God knows what else all in the name of wanting everyone on the planet to live under Islam. Crap man, they even blow up Taliban commanders in Afghanistan.

Maj. Hassan can kill a large number of American soldiers in the name of Islam, Islamic terrorists can shoot up a concert hall yelling Allah Akbar, shoot up a comic book office (excuse me, Charlie Hebdo was asking for it) and the turd in chief refuses to call them Islamic Terrorists.

By God though if the perp did this in the name of Christianity, Obama will be on the 6 o'clock news with a huge hard on outlining his war on Christian terrorists.

Killing in the name of a religious idea is wrong on any level.... But hell, get some perspective here please.

 

[MongGrel]

NM, not going there.

Not going lower to that level.

When your party and media keep stoking the fires of religious and race warfare and feeding into an overall persecution complex you simply don't just get to walk it back when they get what they wanted.

The blood is on your hands.

 

[Mai72]

Is it ISIS?

Oh wait.. just another American born loon.

 

[Indus]

the turd in chief refuses to call them Islamic Terrorists.

This is why no President ever will say those words

 

[disappoint]

Oh come on. You've lowered yourself lots of times. Go on call me a heathen again. It will make you feel better. You don't want to bury this stuff inside. Let it out.
