This is America, you are supposed to be terrified.

Then it's not as sick as you think it is.

Yeah, but I wasn't sitting in that bar.

Hey Mr. Poster without a funny bone....laughing at other's misfortunes is a huge part of comedy.

He should have been shot at the first utterance of "Allah...."

Perfectly justifiable.

That's cool. You'll just end up doing time for murder, or at a minimum, manslaughter.

And you know what's gonna happen to you in prison. So, bad idea.

If someone had shot him, would that person actually be in legal trouble? It seems reasonable for someone to assume he's a terrorist with a bomb, and is about to trigger it. You only have a split second to act. You don't have time to think. If you shoot, is that really the response of a criminal, or a reasonable person trying to do the reasonable thing?

Well I don't know. I suppose you could try it. Get yourself nice & drunk, keep your boozy bottles on your person, do said act & then if you do get shot, tell us how you feel about it.

What the guy did was stupid, duh. Getting shot & killed for it? Well, that would be even more stupid. Course, he got arrested & charged. Now, to make everyone happy, he could be placed on a watch list. But remember, he should still be allowed to purchase firearms. According to conservatives that is.

Yeah...lots of legal trouble. Shooting someone for being a drunken idiot isn't legal yet.

Everyone is so trigger happy that they think they can get away with shooting anyone.
