Something big going on at King Soopers on Table Mesa in Boulder

[KAPA]

Anyone think the Syrian shooter shot himself in the leg with the pistol he supposedly had? Mexican carry gone wrong?

Has PD said they actually fired at him? Account I read said they encountered him walking backwards to them in just the shorts.

Just like a guy who was born here but saying "I am Irish!"

They were all born in Syria, except maybe the little brother. Analogy fail.

[MrPrena]

It wasn't meant for analogy.

If you read the thread above, I knew and replied to suspect being born on age 3, and lived in US rest of his life.

BTW, as for some people who never held a passport and do not know how to distinguish NATIONALITY,


IF you have this, you are Syrian


IF you have this, you are an American (US citizen)



IF you have this, you are an Irish


If you have this, you can be NORTHERN IRISH.

That's the main problem with immigration, they don't come here to take on the American way and culture. They just bring their ideology with them and refuse to melt in our pot.

There is no American culture. The American landscape is as diverse as the French Foreign Legion, if not more. We have a conglomerate of micro-cultures, from sea to shining sea. When I was in the Army I had nothing in common with someone from south Boston except we were both American citizens and both wore the same uniform. They might as well have been from Albania (and we had one of those too). I think I liked the Albanian more, actually. He wasn't a Yankee.

Melting pot ideology as it's commonly meant is retarded and has resulted in no culture at all for many 3rd generation+ citizens. I'm not for it, and it's a relatively recent revisionist bit of history. Otherwise, we wouldn't have things like Little Italy, Chinatown, etc. Rather, cultures should be encouraged to retain who and what they are and at the same time participate in a larger American milieu, which of itself lacks a definable culture. Those unique values, traits, experiences, etc., is truly where we can say "diversity is our strength," when those things truly bring strengthening value to the fore. Mere melanin variations are as worthless as different colors of the same flavor cake. Retention of culture, language, etc., is fine. It allowed our fighting men to call out to, and trick, enemy forces in perfect German since they were only one generation removed from having been wearing the enemy's uniform. It allows a movement beyond the homogeny of singular methods, perspectives, etc. But earlier generations were still cognizant of their Americanness.

But that's not what I saw on those FB pages before they were memory holed. On those pages, I saw people who wanted the homogeny of their culture with the benefit of America; effectively, not contributing their culture but retaining their culture. It's a very distinct difference from what past generations did.

Then again, past generations and immigrants had something, generally, to contribute. I'm not sure that the Middle East has anything to contribute besides test subjects for new war tech.

Before his FB was nuked, and all his family nuked their own, they were nothing but Syrian. Syria this, Syria that. Islam this, Islam that. American as a goat meat cheeseburger from a Damascus street food vendor.

And yet, when his mental illness got away from him, he used a pretty American method of terror.

A gov issued piece of paper does not define your ideology or where you were born. The dude was Syrian and from the looks of his social media I saw before it got nuked he was anti American.

I don't care what his papers say, where is heart laid seems pretty obvious.

Not an American method of terror. This goes on throughout the world. Take a look at mass shootings in France.

Very typical once the DNC media heard the name of the suspect, messaging went from likely white male, white supremacy, MAGA lover to stating they will not announce the suspect name and sole focus on the 'common since' gun control propaganda.
