Mumbia terrorism brought to our own home…This could be some Pakistani waging terror on Indians over the disputed Kashmir territory….The lack of any detail on the shooter stinks of PC fascism…protecting the criminal because he is muslim……> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Mumbai_attacks

FYI-
Muslims hate the Sikhs. Hell, they hate everyone but Muslims. Would not surprise me if it was a 7th century goatf*cker that is the culprit. then again, it would not surprise me if it was a white liberal male wanting to kick off King Putt’s revolution.

The police acted stupidly…….oh wait
Robert commented:
Fascinating: Twitter is already aflame with people who know the shooter was white and the member of a militia group. How they would know this they never say.
Dale commented:
Oh great, here we go….it was Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin and Mitt Romney and the Tea Party again. Let me guess, no-one should be allowed to have guns, and this guy voted for George Bush and John McCain. Guns kill people the same way spoons make people fat.

This seems to be close to the point of origin.

My heart goes out to the congregation. May the Good Lord have mercy on them, and may their neighbors mitigate the damage by showing them the kindness that Americans are known for.

We knew the Aurora shooter was a white male within minute of the slaughter. The fact no shooter has been named guarantees the butcher is some Pakistani muslim.
You can hear it in the woman’s voice. Her shocking disbelief ” never thought this could happen here “. What is ” this ” ? . Old muslim world Sectarian violance… She knows it was a muslim shooter, her brother heard the ” Allah Akbar ” and told her on the phone , but he or the police told the woman not to say too much details. We can’t let a little sectrian violance embarass Obama’s re-election plans now can we.

Someone called me and told me Harry Reid was the shooter.

This shooting is obviously the work of Tea Party Muslim Pakistani Heteros. /sarcasm

I think EVERY Sunday to election day that David Axelrod reads the polling data of Obama down 5…secret orders will go out from the undergroun bunkers of the communist party USA to wage some localized blood bath in a swing state . These are fast and furious operations gone mad….the Satanic fundamentalist version of Chic Fil A harassment campaigns.
