At least 15 killed in New Orleans attack

What insinuation are you trying to make?

It’s clear. The government planted the photo on the truck to make us think it was Isis.

 

[theel4life]

it’s hard to beat a religion that believes it’s their duty to kill everyone.

Fuck you bro. I know lots of good Muslim people.

Oh yeah, crystal clear. I just wanted to see him say it.

 

[ZZLPHeels]

Extreme fringe Islam terrorists. It’s pretty clear that it’s them. Never said it was everyone but there’s a fraction of the religion that believes they have the right and not only that - God has commanded them to kill others.

Yup. Important to note that it is possible to talk about (and condemn) Jihadism and Islamic terrorism while acknowledging that the overwhelming majority of Muslims are peaceful people who should not be lumped in with their fanatics. I'm a white person and I don't take offense when people condemn white supremacists because fuck white supremacists.

So a garden variety domestic abuser turned spree killer, and not actually ISIS.

Except for the fact that he was very open about joining ISIS and acting on their behalf.

Sounds like someone that was mentally ill. I doubt he was ever formally a member of ISIS.

If this is the case, it sounds like it was more the result of a descent into madness than a politically motivated act of violence.

Do you think ISIS gives you a membership card like Sam's Club?

Just like Dylan Roof, right?

Except for the fact that there's not anything to connect him to ISIS, other than his statements.

John Hinkley didn't really impress Jodi Foster.

Do you think someone just says they are a member of ISIS and they're magically in ISIS?

Do you understand the concept of a lone wolf terrorist? That's a major part of ISIS's game plan....to inspire people to commit acts of terrorism on its behalf.

 

[ZZLPHeels]

Yeah, I guess the FBI shouldn't investigate anyone who pledges allegiance to a terrorist group until they get their official membership card in the mail.

 

[theel4life]

But he clearly used that as an excuse for his pathetic life unfolding.

Trumpers probably do.

Terrorist groups often exploit vulnerable people.

 

[StoneColdHeel]

I didn't say anything about not investigating it. I said just because he said he joined ISIS doesn't mean he was an actual member of ISIS like you said.

 

[Icky Mettle]

Just like Dylan Roof, right?

No. They seem nothing alike.

This guy seemed to shift from being frustrated about his divorce and wanting to kill his family to having some dream about joining ISIS and deciding to kill people randomly on Bourbon Street.

Of course, I’m just basing that on the little bit that’s come out thus far.
