This case also doesn't support the apologists that like to harp on poverty and the lack of integration as the cause of these despicable crimes. He was from a wealthy family, he appears to have been well liked by his non-Muslim peers described as polite and well mannered, he was educated. What could be the source of his actions?ISIS did sent out a tweet calling for terrorist actions during Ramadan.
He doesn't meet the stereo-type of the typical Muslim terrorist he appeared to be doing quite well only thing I notice is that at some point his appearance changed, he started growing a beard.
Doesn't half of the marines get killed or wounded anyway? So what? Gomer Pyle even killed himself.
No they don't.
They weren't fighting they were unarmed it was an opportunistic terrorist attack on American soil which is different. The facility they were at currently the rule is they can't carry weapons.
You say so what? Well there will be hell to pay if there is any link to an organization they will be pounded to the ground that's all I'll say.
Do you see this as different from the Charleston shooting? I don't.
To me they are all domestic terrorists with mental problems who have easy access to guns. That is the issue IMO.
There is a different component I don't believe this is a mentally disturbed individual at all. Seemingly extremely well integrated at least on the outside, raised in the USA, educated, well socialized, well liked, from a well to do family although there is some issues with domestic abuse that have surfaced. He doesn't fit the profile of a domestic terrorist on the surface. The only thing that is standing out as a lead is his religious views and that he has recently in the last few years spent some time in the Middle East. This situation is more concerning because I think there are a bunch of these guys in the making whereas the Charleston shooting guy we get one of those every couple of years.
