Trump just tweeted and said the shooter was a radical islamist terrorist.
His assumption may end up being correct, but everyone knows that it has not been confirmed yet, so its not very smart to make declarations like that before the intel arrives.
Trump, the buffoon, can't keep his short fingers in his pockets. I can't wait for 1/21.
I don't know why they would remove it. It is something muslims say a lot, apparently in good and bad.
Because it's graphic in that it includes a closeup of the shooting, while other sites are omitting that, and pixelating the ambassador's body as he lay on the floor.

Oh, that. There are other videos of the screaming and hollering, without the shooting.
Certainly, but they're sure going to do something about it, because Russia. And whatever they do will be extreme, and it will be harsh, and no matter who they do it to it will escalate tensions and make the situation over there even more volatile. This was a significant turning point, something from which there will be no turning back.
This is very, very bad news. Not good on any level.
Please, what was Russia's tough response when Turkey shot their plane down. Who knows maybe Russia will direct their response towards ISIS and Al Queda rather than innocent civilians.
So were there any other casualties? Did the assassin even shoot at anyone other than the ambassador? Unless he ran out of ammo, intentionally limiting his target (in a room full of potential targets) to just the ambassador would be rather atypical behavior for a radical islamic terrorist. At least IMO. Heck, if he had sufficient security access as a policeman he could've worn a suicide vest and taken out the whole lot. But that's not the case.

The Russians response was sanctions. They don't know if this guy was ISIS. ISIS kills people, as many as possible to spread terror, but this was a targeted assassination. The Berlin thing is more ISIS-like than this one. But I am sure they'll get to the bottom of it.

Well, the shooter reportedly pointed his finger to the sky and said "Allahu Akbar" immediately after shooting, and part of his ~45 second rant included the phrase "We are the descendants of those who supported the Prophet Muhammad, for jihad." No whether killing one person makes you a "terrorist" or not is debatable, but I'm inclined to take the guy at his word that the killing was at least partly religiously motivated. That makes him a radical islamist in my book.
