“It seemed to me that they had a Québécois accent. They started to fire, and as they shot, they yelled, ‘Allahu akbar!”

There are six people dead and 18 wounded, five of them critically, and here you are, a few hours later, sharing your proud sneer. I’d call your reaction callous and inflammatory except I know you’d say I was being PC, so I’ll just ask if you’re capable of embarrassment at all.
“There are six people dead and 18 wounded, five of them critically…” There is your headline, right? These animals did what you wrote and I’MMMMMMM the bad guy????? You’re pathetic!
When radical Muslims are cowardly killing innocent folks, no, I feel no embarrassment whatsoever calling their murdering a$$es out. Gimme time this am, I’ll find more “sneering” comments. Folks like these have repeatedly killed personal colleagues/friends of mine, so, once again, “eff no”, I feel nothing bad about my posts.
Wait a minute… this was an attack on a Mosque. Who are you assuming did this?
Well, B, when the words “Allahu Akbar” are hollered when murders are being committed, that’s usually a good sign that radical Muslims be pulling the trigger or thrusting the knife. Now, if you’re suggesting that copycat murders are being committed by non-Muslims, well, then I’ll be proven wrong if that’s the case. By I’m not “skeered” that that has happened in this instance.
It might be a good idea to wait until the facts come out, but for starters, it doesn’t make sense that radical muslims would open fire on a mosque, does it? Especially considering that this mosque has been targeted for harassment before.
Why not? They regularly blow themselves up with suicide vests, killing many of their countrymen in the attack. How about when they strap a suicide vest on a 12 year old for the kid to martyr himself? ” Ummmm, Oh, yeah…sorry”
Sounds like you’ve been radicalized yourself.
Also sounds like he’s full of it: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/quebec-city-mosque-shooting/article33822092/
“A quiet college student has become the focus of police attention after a mass shooting Sunday night at a mosque in Quebec City that killed six people and wounded several more in what Prime Minister Justin Trudeau condemned as “a terrorist attack on Muslims.”
Resident ‘shocked’ over deadly mosque shooting (Reuters)
After initially saying there were two suspects, police from the Sureté du Québec confirmed around noon Monday that there was only one and that he was in custody. The other is being considered a witness.
Primary attention now centres on Alexandre Bissonnette, a 20-something resident of Quebec City suburb of Cap-Rouge. He is expected to be arraigned later Monday.
…
Two history students who said they went to Cegep with Mr. Bissonnette described him as quiet and unassuming, adding he belonged to the school’s chess club.
“It’s just really surprising,” said one, who declined to give his name. “It’s scary that it would happen here,” said the other, Antoine Cabanac.”
Let’s see: quiet loner white male in a baseball cap. Real ‘Radical Islamic Terrorist’ that one.

“But another former classmate, Jean-Michel Allard-Prus, who studied politics with him, at Université Laval and has kept in touch with him, told Le Journal de Quebec that Bissonnette, “has right-wing political ideas, pro-Israel, anti-immigration. I had many debates with him about Trump. He was obviously pro-Trump.”
…
The “Welcome to Refugees – Quebec City” group posted on Facebook that it was also aware of him prior to the shooting, saying he is “unfortunately known to several activists in Quebec City for his pro-Le Pen and anti-feminist identity positions at Université Laval and on social networks.”
Francois Deschamps, a committee member for the group, told La Presse he jumped when he saw a photo of Bissonnette.
“We see a lot of what extreme right-wing people do and say,” Deschamps told the newspaper. He said Bissonnette made statements on their page, “acting like a troll.”
Along with anti-immigrant and other right-wing beliefs, he also made anti-women’s rights remarks, Deschamps said.”
We’ll see, won’t we…
“I just love and I mean really love The Religion of Peace!”
How many Muslims did our government kill during our two invasions of Iraq? Want to compile a running score? Do you think the Iraqis who were hit by our cluster bombs, MOABs and whatever – tio speak nothing of the decades of crippling sanctions and air strikes in between those 2 wars – view our culture and civilization as being one of peace, justice and freedom? If so, on what basis do they have for believing this? Our saying so? As if the concept of “he who says one thing but does another” does not exist to them?
Look, there is being a conservative nationalist on one hand and stuff like this – which only serves to demean both your argument and the people who make it – on the other. You should be able to make good arguments without resorting to stuff like this. But I suppose that stuff like this – which is no different from the Rosie O’Donnell and Madonna screeching that comes from the other side – is a lot more fun? If so, makes you no better than your opposition. Different, perhaps, but no better.
You are celebrating a guy walking into a place of worship and shooting people up.
“Have you left no sense of decency?”
No decency. No waiting for facts. Got to get that hate out for all to see.
Shooter was a student, pro Trump, anti-feminist, and a chess player. Maybe we should ban chess players too.
So Will, did you not get a flu shot? Why not?
Since some of you might be Braves fans…
