Dylan roof sympathizer or zombie Tim Mcveigh?
They crucify Christian children in Iraq and Syria, you really think blowing up kids is/was off limits?Hopefully is a mentally disturbed lone wolf and not a large organized terror network who has now decided to start targeting children.

Targeting children has been off limits as far as attacks in the West to date. This would be a somewhat new method to spread terror for them if they were indeed the perps.
It's not politicizing. I'm a father of three teenage girls and I'm F'ing horrified. Two of my girls were at her show at the BOK. It's easy to imagine being those parents.
This has got to stop and we know goddamn well who did it.
the mike cernovich text/tweet was certainly both politicizing and monday morning quarterbacking
which is mutually exclusive from your feeling for the victims and outrage at the terrorists
Syrian refugee/former ISIS fighter is my guess.
Anyone want to bet against that?
J
Have any other European terrorist attacks been attributed to a Syrian refugee?
I'll take that betSyrian refugee/former ISIS fighter is my guess.

I remember being in the U.K. a gazillion years ago and seeing IRA/anti-IRA graffiti. Don't think they are the culprit this time.
No idea. Do you have a point?
Not really. You just seemed to be really sure that it would turn out to be a Syrian refugee and I was wondering what was driving your feeling that way. I thought maybe you were going off of precedent and that Syrian refugees had proven to be responsible for other attacks. I couldn't remember whether or not that was the case.
Since you stated that you have "no idea", It now appears that the narrative that terrorists are going to sneak into countries disguised as Syrian refugees is working. I'm not trying to say that the narrative is false, as it may well turn out to be accurate (may already have happened for all I know, because I don't remember the country of origin of all other terror attacks in Europe). But, there has definitely been a conservative agenda to paint Syrian refugees as a Trojan horse filled with terrorists, and our current vetting process as not being up to the task of keeping those individuals out of the country. Whether it is an accurate portrayal or hyperbole remains to be seen, IMO.
It does appear that you have bought in fully. I'm just not sure yet.
Kind of an important distinction.Isis has already claimed responsibility. I said "my giuess is refugee / former Isis fighter". As either, or - or some combo of both.
Is my semantics really the discussion to be had about this? Kind of misses the point.

Good one Mega. What does whether is was "Syrian refugee/former ISIS fighter " matter to her family?

It is an important distinction because policy response is different if it was an immigrant/refugee/foreign fighter vs homegrown radicalized by the internet.
That being said, I am all for greater border security and vetting. Not convinced a complete or even temporary ban being pursued is the best policy decision or even really feasible.

A temporary ban lets you evaluate your procedures and shore up any short comings.
You have to put exacly zero thought to see no benefit.
You seemed like a very concerned parent when you were pushing your preferred narrative.I see. Not sure if you know this but I have nothing to do with policy. I'm a parent who is horrified and sick to freaking death of seeing the same absurd story play out over and over again. Lecture me all you want. Don't care.
I have asked this, on this board, multiple times. What does a temporary ban even accomplish? I just can't see any reason for it at this point.
I've always questioned why are we wanted to ship people who historically don't assimilate well into western culture half way across the world to live.
I'm out. I don't have anymore time for this this morning. You guys figure out who did this and who it's OK to be mad at and let me know later OK?
Uh because we could be endangering Americans.
