Why do you make this tragic event into a RepublicanDemocrat thing? It’s a horrible loss of human lives that should not provide you or anybody with an opportunity to point fingers. Let’s keep assault weapons out of everybody’s hands. Period. Nobody needs them.
this guy always looks like he’s proud of what he left in the toilet.
lmfao
And yet, those on the terrorist watch list can still legally buy assault weapons……who is to blame for that? The money hungry, blood on their hands, NRA whores who “represent” us. There’s plenty of blame to throw around! We also need to call this a hate crime, hate against the gay community. Joe knows a little about that. Sadly, Congress (republicans) will still do nothing. They did absolutely nothing when innocent 6 year olds were murdered by a WHITE TERRORIST, so I highly doubt they care about the gay community. We MUST vote #gunsense this fall. The NRA whores have to go.
Yea so in the mean time lets give this Wacko a job in security and a couple Automatic Weapons.
What could go wrong !
This is a Great Example of a Failed system that the republican party of 2016 Fails to address. Stupid Americans . Wake the F up !
Exactly. Someone show me how an intangible idea (political correctness) had a gun and ammo
He didn’t have an automatic rifle. Semi auto
Well Excuse me ! The AR ,
It’s a Quick Mod Away !!!
The Glock is Deadly Accurate.
Get Real !
ewwwwwww
Bahhahahah!???? this is too funny!
This was a man who was born in NY. He is a man whose ex-wife said was violent and crazy. He is a man whose father said that he saw two men kissing and decided to hate homosexuals. And yet he was a security guard and had no problem getting access legally to a semi automatic assault rifle. And all you get out of that was that political correctness killed 50. Your cynicism is palpable.
I’ve seen this picture. It’s right next to the extremist that killed 50 Americans yesterday. They both are on the side of stupid. We neither one of them worth listening too. Yet one had to massacre 50 Americans. The other is using it as a moment to gain some more “listeners” so guess what I’m listening, it sound like more hate. Which causes more hate. So……..?
Joe ended his article with “America first. Period.” So, at what point, after how many mass killings and innocent men, woman and children are killed do we make this not about politics, lobbyist, pointing fingers, left vs right, etc etc etc and make it about protecting American citizens and putting them first? Protecting kids going to school (VT and Newtown)? People going to a night club? At what point do we all put what political party we align with aside and have real conversations about this….aren’t we tired of these talking heads screaming from one side of the political aisle at the other while nothing changes? This isn’t about taking away anyones rights – its about fixing a problem…I don’t know what the solution is but I damn well know something is broken.
A terrorist killed 50 people. If we called him an islamic extremist would these people still be alive? And why… WHY is this the thing you have a problem with? Isnt the fact that this man who had been investigated by the FBI before could easily get his hands on a gun the problem? Isnt the fact that 50 innocent people are dead the problem?
This Fox News/Donald Trump mentality is disgusting. Being Muslim doesn’t make a person evil. Being a religious extremist and committing mass murder makes you an evil person.
To answer your question, if the current Administration called him an Islamic extremist then YES these people may still be alive!! That’s the point! He was investigated and then removed from the watch list. He was then able to purchase multiple firearms and then shoot and kill innocent people!
But how exactly does the wording make a difference?
It’s people like you, no doubt a liberal, that’s the problem. You dance around the truth like Obama. This is a war, and first you have to recognize who the enemy is, then you have to declare war on that enemy so they can be stopped. Yes, the first step is to say, the enemy is Islamic extremist terrorists!
Aw yes, war is always the answer with you people isnt it? And us “liberals” who want to solve things like rational adults are the problem?
Hey heres a crazy thought: maybe if we tried education and understanding rather than going to a foreign country and forcing our ideals and way of life on them while killing their people a problem would actually get solved here. Im sorry that you think that sending our young men and women to die because of your own self righteousness is the right thing to do.
So they kill us then we kill them and the problem is solved right???
Caring about peoples lives doesnt make me a weak “liberal”, it makes me a human being.
Lol
So don’t blame the actual perpetrator, blame political correctness. That makes sense.
The SCV seems to have veered so PC and LA liberal since I left. Especially from the “fringe” comments on your story. Are they now the norm nowadays? Great to see not everyone has gone that direction.
Well said!!!
Dislike
Your candidness is refreshing, this is a terrorism issue at heart.
You sir are an idiot.
Back before “gun control” this coward would have killed fewer people because more citizens carried guns themselves. I will not rely solely on the government to keep my family and myself safe. MOLON LABE !
Jessica Razo
Johnny Vm This guy again Lol
Read wat he said
Death + Joe Messina = opportunity
Why are we calling this Islamic Extremism instead of Homophobic Extremism?
