Did they think invading and trying to oppress another country by means of force would go peacefully wouldnt bring about retribution? lol

Absolutely, 1000%. I was simply replying to the post about the supposed Mosque bombing in Orlando. I live about two hours southwest of Orlando. Nothing on our local news about that. That definitely would have made all of Florida news.

Cute.

Is it really so hard to examine what prompted her to make that statement in the first place?

I guess it is.

Umm...
No one said that there was a bombing.

And, it did make Florida news:

Officials release surveillance video of fire at mosque attended by Pulse nightclub shooter | WFTV

Fire Intentionally Set at Fort Pierce Mosque Where Orlando Nightclub Shooter Once Worshiped: Police | NBC 6 South Florida

What? Building a wall, deporting criminal illegals, etc, makes us "racist" or "xenophobic"? Hell, the Clintons were ALL FOR what Trump is currently saying, only 10 years earlier.

You guys are a silly, confused lot.

I was wondering why I didn't see this story on my news feed. When I searched I found a few articles with surveillance footage of the man who set her on fire and then it all made sense why it wasn't in my news feed.

That would require Trump supporters to look deep into their ugly selves. The denial is strong.

This is ridiculous. There are over 600,000 Muslims in NYC. We are supposed to walk around suspicious of all of them because they might have concealed weapons? Do you not undrstand how retarded and un-NYC-like that sounds?

Stay in your cornfield, please. "THEY" won't get you there.

Did you not read the quotes in the articles?
