ISIS linked accounts praise attack on twitter

Would be a shame if it was them, gun control seems to go in reverse if its foreign terrorists instead of domestic.

1. I'll wait for conformation

[Warpy]

2. Naw, I'm almost willing to bet the rent these were US homeboys

with maybe one token Arabic speaker to rile them up. These guys wanted to get out alive. ISIL doesn't.

[Renew Deal]

3. Your statement is crass

And poorly conceived.

[trumad]

5. And very obvious.

[Renew Deal]

8. So now we're rooting for certain forms of terrorism?

We're hoping it's one over the other? That's screwed up

[trumad]

10. Low count poster hopping on to root for ISIS.

[Renew Deal]

11. Got it.

[climber3986]

13. what the hell

how am i rooting for isis?

[Renew Deal]

18. It is poorly worded

You should delete and think about how to say what you want to say. It is opportunistic to hope it was one form of terrorism over the other and it. There is no interest in the people that died. What matters according to your post is advancing your agenda.

20. welcome to du. you'll be using "what the hell " a lot

15. 1 leads to calls for more gun control and the other leads to fewer to "keep us safe from ISIS"

I think that's the point,

[cherokeeprogressive]

19. I believe in every case there is someone secretly hoping it's their special hated group.

One hopes it's a white Christian anti-government gun-humper.

Another one hopes it's a white mentally ill person.

Another hopes it's a mooslim.

I say that because before the scene was even cleared there was speculation going on in every direction.

4. I've never heard of this source. Any fellow DU'ers have experience with it?

Not attacking you OP; I'm notorious about being out of the loop on what 'good' sites are (primarily because my trust of the media is about as far as I can claiber toss them), hence my question.

6. The Westboro Baptist Church will probably praise this attack too.

That doesn't mean they did it.

[MeNMyVolt]

7. FFS. Couldn't be any more obvious.

[0rganism]

9. if it was Daesh, we're in deep shit

as long as it's RW Christian Extremists attacking abortion clinics, American society will write it off as "lone wolf" and "disturbed individual" attacks and nothing major happens even if it should.

but the day we have a confirmed mass-murder by Daesh in this country, everything goes straight to shit. think the Republicans have too much control in the federal government now? just wait until Muslim Extremists resume racking up a domestic American body count. Americans are panicky and easily frightened, we'll be stuck with warmongers, religious fanatics, and corporate sugar daddies calling the shots for the next 20 years.

12. Isis, psychos, right wing terrorists ... they had easy access to guns

.... and they used guns to kill people

[uppityperson]

14. Do you mean if it is "them", then " us" need to buy more guns to keep safe. But if its

domestic, then there will be calls for more gun control?

[climber3986]

16. yep

it doesn't really make a difference between foreign and domestic terrorism but when its foreign the right uses it as ammunition for talking points and either makes us invade another country or says we need toddlers with ak's =/

[uppityperson]

17. Thanks for clarifying, that is certainly true. I appreciate the clarification

rather than letting us all misunderstand and jump your shit.

Too much Us vs Them
