Default Article Equate San Bernardino Victim with the Terrorist

San Bernardino bloodbath born of bigots.
http://m.nydailynews.com/news/nation...icle-1.2456491

This article disgusts me.

Quote:
They were two hate-filled, bigoted municipal employees interacting in one department. Now 13 innocent people are dead in unspeakable carnage.

One man spent his free time writing frightening, NRA-loving, hate-filled screeds on Facebook about the other’s religion.
Quote:
What they didn’t realize is that except for their different religions they were in many ways similar men who even had the same job.
I think in the authors distorted view being in favor of the NRA and against planned parenthood is almost as heinous as being a terrorist.

Quote:
Thalasinos was an anti-government, anti-Islam, pro-NRA, rabidly anti-Planned Parenthood kinda guy, who that it would be “Freaking Awesome” if hateful Ann Coulter was named Head of Homeland Security.

So? I used a calligraphy pen to address handmade Christmas cards my wife made for family and friends this year.

I guarantee that calligraphy pens are not the tool of choice for writing these days.

Yes you've been outed to be a know-nothing with regards to this issue of weapons used in mass shootings.

Try again.

Having the government access to these facts makes it easy to threaten and intimidate individuals. For reference, see this:
Nixon plot against newspaper columnist detailed - politics | NBC News

If the government had the ability to find embarrassing information on journalists and political foes, they could use that information to their political advantage.

Ask Harry Reid, just how he used Mitt Romney's phone conversations on the Senate floor, where he has immunity.

This is a total lie. It's quite easy to get a warrant. And I seriously doubt that they have stopped doing anything.

Daily News laying it down, wow ha.

Is Thalasinos the one he got an argument with? Obviously it doesn't really matter.

When will Bigots realize that they are on every side of the fence?

Its so unbelievable this even happened still..

No one stated that killings would stop if we eliminated AR's but we have the higest gun homicide rate of any country, the highest mass murder rate of any country, you need to believe that we either have more mentally ill people or too many guns available or both.

And yet if we remove the gun-free zip codes in the inner-cities of Chicago, Baltimore, Oakland, Los Angeles and a couple other of liberal success stories we have a lower homocide rate than most of the world. And we have tons of guns. That's right out of the FBI statistics. We don't have a gun problem. We have an inner-city and gang problem.

I won't discount the killings like San Bernadino. They are horrible events. However, they are rare. There are statistics that seem to indicate our rate is lower than Europe on a comparative basis.

Don't use facts on this one. Their head may explode.

NSA record keeping is for prevention, not to investigate afterwards. It is easy to get a warrant afterward with full access...... Unless they have been lying to us the whole time about only collecting algorithms of phone numbers., meaning they have never needed a warrant to see our private things.
