[hollohas]

Well, there's the other media sensationalized keywords we expected to see.

He used a "high powered" rifle.

she saw a man who'd been in a silver convertible Mustang, firing a "high-powered rifle" at the recruiting offices

Four servicemen dead and one critical after gunman opens fire on military recruitment offices AND Naval Reserve center with 'high-powered rifle' in Tennessee before being killed

And the dreaded "reload"

We heard one pop, one really loud pop. We went to the door and there was several other pops after that and we looked two doors down and we saw a guy in a silver mustang unloading on the recruiter's office,' she said.
Wright added that he reloaded once or twice

ANNNND, the classic, super fast rapid fire.

"I couldn't even begin to tell you how many," she said. "It was rapid fire, like pow pow pow pow pow, so quickly. The next thing I knew, there were police cars coming from every direction."

This is just so predictable. I pray for the families of the men who died today and I think it's a damn shame that every time something like this happens the media response and sometimes even the response from the authorities takes on this predictable, sensationalized tone. They blatantly and immediately do everything to associated it with "domestic" issues, disassociate it from Islam and blame the gun. It's like they have this stuff written up ready to go sometimes. It follows the same formula each and every time.

What the hell is wrong with calling a spade a spade? This guy was a Muslim terrorist who targeted our military men. Plain and simple. It doesn't take a freaking investigation to figure that out. It's not the gun's fault, it's is purely the fault of an american hating Islamic extremist.

The gov/LE respose to this will be: "See? we need less restrictions on the surveillance of US person and persons in the US. If we were able to listen to this guy's conversations we could have prevented this!"

Time to ban all Muslims from the country and a worldwide ban on them owning firearms, knives, explosives, etc.

This was NOT "domestic terrorism". Shooter from Kuwait, as already posted the chatter had started on the foreign i.e. ISIS websites.

Then they could not perform their duties that their god tells them to do in their book. Like all the killing and raping and torturing of folks not in their exclusive goat-violating group.

Why did we bail that country out again?

An enemy combatant (US citizen or not) attacking military locations is not Domestic Terrorism. Why do they keep labeling it this way.

I wish folks would just face it. The fight is coming to our own back door.

Agreed. They label it that way because it brain washes the sheeple. They have been reporting for years that "domestic right-wing terrorists" are the most dangerous threat to America. This guy is clearly a muslim, but by the simple fact the media reports it as ""domestic" the dumb civilians in this country will immediately in the back of their minds associate it with "right-wing". It's a damn mind game. They want the people of America to subconsciously associate "right-wing" with BAD.

Feb 20, 2015 - DHS intelligence report warns of domestic right-wing terror threat

A new intelligence assessment, circulated by the Department of Homeland Security this month and reviewed by CNN, focuses on the domestic terror threat from right-wing sovereign citizen extremists and comes as the Obama administration holds a White House conference to focus efforts to fight violent extremism.
Some federal and local law enforcement groups view the domestic terror threat from sovereign citizen groups as equal to -- and in some cases greater than -- the threat from foreign Islamic terror groups, such as ISIS, that garner more public attention.​

DHS Reports: Greatest Threat Is Domestic Right-Wing Extremism, Not ISIS

During his three day summit on Countering Violent Extremism, President Obama continued to reject the notion that the West is at war with radical Islam. So what does the Obama administration identify as the real threat?

According to reports leaked from the Department of Homeland Security, the real danger to U.S. national security isn't ISIS or radical Islamic terror, but domestic right-wing extremists.

And the kicker...

Aug 29th, 2014 - FBI National Domestic Threat Assessment Omits Islamist Terrorism

The FBI’s most recent national threat assessment for domestic terrorism makes no reference to Islamist terror threats, despite last year’s Boston Marathon bombing and the 2009 Fort Hood shooting—both carried out by radical Muslim Americans.

Instead, the internal FBI intelligence report concluded in its 2013 assessment published this month that the threat to U.S. internal security from extremists is limited to attacks and activities by eight types of domestic extremist movements—none motivated by radical Islam.

I've removed the photograph.

There is no reason to publicize a murderer.

There is no reason to blame a murderer's family without more information.
