This is truly amazing, reading the reactions to this event as compared to the overall reaction expressed in regard to the Orlando shooting.
So this guy is obviously a right-winger, representative of right-wingers and their hatred for refugees and immigrants because someone
said they heard him shout Britain First. Yet when it was reported by a survivor of the Orlando shootings the killer was shouting Allah Ackbar as he gunned down over a hundred people in a gay nightclub, the reaction was we didn't hear it on the 9-11 recording so it never happened. The Orlando shooter called 9-11 and declared his allegiance to the
Islamic State, and the reaction here, and of the liberal/progressive left in general, was to blame Christians, blame Republicans, blame anyone and anything other than Islam because no true Muslim ever commits any violent act.
But hey, some guy named Asa Winstanley said on Twitter this was right-wing racist attack, so it must be true. Because Twitter.
Oh, this is an act of terror? Funny how it took no time at all for you to label this single event as terrorism, while in response to the Orlando shootings your response was to claim with absolute certainty there was no connection to ISIS and therefore no connection to Islamic terrorism. As if you could possibly have a shred of evidence to support that claim.
This event was a murder carried out by a man against a single victim. Yet the immediate response is right-wing racist politically motivated terrorism. While the Orlando shooter was just "
angry and confused." Of course Donald
Trump is the real threat, not guys like the Orlando shooter, because Trump is going to "murder family members in cold blood."
As if the Orlando shooter, a Muslim motivated by radical Islam, really meant to bring them flowers. But he was just confused.
Why not? That was the immediate go-to reaction in response to Orlando. A Muslim brutally murders 49 people and wounds over 50 others in the name of Allah and ISIS, and in response every liberal Democrat starts foaming at the mouth about gun control. With, of course, complete disregard to reality and the facts of the case.
You have your head buried so far in the leftist ideological sand you can no longer see the reality of anything. Groups such as ISIS are by definition tribalist. Dedicate a moment or two to fact-check what the term ISIL, as so respectfully employed by our President, actually means, what it actually refers to. Radical Islam is by brutal practice xenophobic. Progressivism is by practice and history totalitarian. You are discussing a brand of right-wing nationalism which exist only in your mind.
Unbelievable. Stunningly unbelievable. But standard. Ignore the
expressed ideology which leads people like Omar Mateen and the San Bernardino happy couple to savagely murder the innocent; friends, members of families, coworkers. Ignore the ideology which inspires two British Muslims to hack a
British soldier to death in the street in broad daylight. Ignore the ideology which both inspires and promotes a "
Kill the Gays" mandate. No. Be afraid of an inanimate object.
The logic expressed in your comment is astounding because there is no logic present. Just the standard liberal/progressive wail to abolish the Second Amendment.
No. He is because someone on Twitter said he was. Apparently that is all the proof required.
Is that like shouting "racist," or "homophobe," or "bigot" so often the terms lose all meaning?
Is that why this is such a tragedy? Because she was a bleeding heart in favor of flooding Britain, and by extension the West, with untold thousands of refugees operating under the policy of "no-true-Muslim?"
True, it is sad for her family. But when Kate Steinle was savagely murdered I didn't see such wailing about how the world lost a voice for this, that, or the other thing. The commentary primarily centered around defense of her killer. If the liberal/progressive left finds this event sad it is directly connected to the political policies the victim expressed, a tenet which by default implies her life was somehow more valuable than, say, a woman killed by an
illegal immigrant holding several felony convictions who had previously been deported from the US five times.
