Title: Tennessee Shooting
Post by: SpeedTek on July 16, 2015, 10:08:12 AM
Here we go again.  5 people dead including the shooter.  Gun Free Zones? 2 areas.  Officers shot chasing the suspect.  Can't wait for more details. Witness said it was a big rifle.  Oh boy.

Really?!  WTF kind of disrespectful and an awful way to respond is that crap?! . We all need to stay vigilant & let's make sure we (americans) dont/never get put in "checkmate".

being objective is one thing, but its pretty hard to not even MENTION that radical islam might have been involved considering he was Muslim, had just made a recent middle east visit, and shot up a military recruiting center of all places.

sure, it POSSIBLE it could have been another motive, but acting like the obvious explanation is somehow just as much a distant possibility as everything else IS part of the NY times bias.

Their objectivity is selective.  They hide behind it when the truth doesn't fit their narrative.  Then they jump to conclusions when it suits them.

Quote
The newspaper was criticized for largely reporting the prosecutors' version of events in the 2006 Duke lacrosse
case.[143][144] Suzanne Smalley of Newsweek criticized the newspaper for its "credulous"[145] coverage of the
charges of rape against Duke University lacrosse players. Stuart Taylor, Jr. and KC Johnson, in their book Until
Proven Innocent: Political Correctness and the Shameful Injustices of the Duke Lacrosse Rape Case, write: "at
the head of the guilt-presuming pack, The New York Times vied in a race to the journalistic bottom with trash-TV
talk shows."[146]

I would probably agree with you there, I just wouldn't go around claiming it was radical islam related as a standard the same reason I wouldn't go around claiming that a police shooting was racially motivated just because of the race of the cop/suspect. NY times is probably guilty of not following such a standard though.

You must not be paying attention.  How large was the "group" the Boston Marathon Bombers belonged to?

The threat today is radicalized INDIVIDUALS willing to carry out attacks on a small scale and hurt, kill, and terrorize as many as they can.

You should watch the Charles Bronson movie, "Telefon."  It might enlighten you to the danger posed by threats of 1 or 2 people being directed by a common cause or entity.

You suggested that Obama was using the phrase "lone gunman" to downplay  a link to radical islam. Now you say these "individuals." Was he a lone gunman or not? If he acted on his own volition then he is a lone gunman whether or not radical islam is what inspired him.  Obama's referring to him as a lone gunman is not an attempt to downplay a link to radical islam, that is just a weak sauce attack against Obama.

It isn't a matter of what Obama called the shooter, but more what he did not call him.

Obama downplays every act of violence by anyone who based on their name and heritage is in all likelihood a Muslim.  He has made statements in the past about refraining from using these incidents to blame the entire Muslim community.  He makes that his point as opposed to naming the REAL enemy who caused the deaths:  RADICAL ISLAM.  He and his media and administration are trying to control the narrative. 

If this had been a white guy with apparent racist views, do you really believe he would refrain from taking advantage of that and calling the US a racist country --- again?

The fact that this took place in a black church obviously also raises questions about a dark part of our history. This is not the
first time that black churches have been attacked. And we know that hatred across races and faiths pose a particular threat to

I try not to assume motives and don't like cheap shots even if it is someone I am opposed to.

Just keep in mind that the president is the face of the nation and has a certain amount of power/responsibility to keep things balanced. I am sure with all his security briefings he knows the threats radical islam presents but we still want to keep order. The last thing we want is for americans to get into some crowd frenzy and start attacking muslims or arabs out of anger or fear. It doesn't necessarily have to be that he is a secret muslim or he just wants to cater to muslims. Whats wrong with him saying separating radical muslims and the rest of the muslim population? We all know radical islam is dangerous but sometimes people are stupid and need to be reminded not all muslims around us are bad.

Now sure he seems guilty of pouring gas on the fire in other situations but I don't think the choice of the phrase lone gunman was trying to minimize radical islam.

Charleston was useful to his agenda.  Protecting muzzies is also part of his agenda.

It is far past time for some to accept that his act is only to serve part of this country, the left, and to hell with the rest of us.  He does not care what we think and truly does not represent us.

The fact that he would fly the flag at half mast for Whitney Houston and not for the murdered Marines makes this achingly clear.

U.S. Flags Lowered For Mandela, A Rare Honor For Foreign Leaders
Dec 6, 2013

Quote
After the death of Nelson Mandela, President Obama ordered that U.S. flags on government buildings be flown at half-staff until
Monday evening — a symbolic gesture of a nation in mourning.

The rules also allow the president to decide other periods of mourning when the half-staff is warranted. Most recently, Obama ordered
the lowering of the flag to honor the victims of the Washington Navy Yard shooting
and for the 50th anniversary of President John F.
Kennedy's assassination.

But it's uncommon for the U.S. flag to be lowered in honor of foreign leaders' deaths. Obama issued a statement of mourning earlier
this year after the death of Margaret Thatcher, former prime minister of the United Kingdom, but he didn't order the lowering of the
American flag.
In fact, the last foreign dignitary to be memorialized with the flag was Pope John Paul II in 2005.


Obama seems to be inconsistent in his decisions on when to order the flags to be lowered,

Obama orders flags to half staff at White House for Chattanooga victims

Quote
The White House and U.S. Capitol both lowered flags to half staff by Tuesday afternoon, after they were out of sync Tuesday in their tributes to the five U.S. service members who were slain by a gunman in Chattanooga last week.

House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky announced Tuesday that flags at the Capitol would be lowered to half-staff in honor of the victims.

"Out of respect for their courageous service and sacrifice to our nation, flags at the U.S. Capitol are being lowered to half-staff," Boehner said in a statement.

"I don't have more information about the status of the flag over the White House," White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest told reporters Monday. Earnest had nearly the same response for reporters Tuesday.

Governors in at least half a dozen states announced over the weekend that their military personnel will no longer be unarmed.
The landmark decision came following a terrorist attack at a recruiting center and reserve station in Chattanooga, Tennessee,
Thursday that left five servicemen dead.

Indiana (R),
Florida (D),
Texas (R),
Louisiana (R),
Arkansas (R) and
Oklahoma (R)


are among the states that will soon allow National Guardsmen and other military personnel to carry guns at military facilities, the
Associated Press reported.


R/D = How the state cast its electoral votes in the Presidential Election of 2012

Flash mob sings national anthem in Tennessee stores

Quote
CHATTANOOGA, TENNESSEE —

A choir in Tennessee finished their performance, but inspired by the music, they decided to share it with their community.
Their spontaneous act of honoring the fallen servicemen in Chattanooga then grew into something much more.

When Amy Hall started the "Spring Hill Harmonx" a year ago, she wasn't looking for fame or fortune.  She just wanted to
be part of a group that made people feel good.  The choir had just wrapped up at the city council meeting when they decided
to do a little flash mobbing.  Belting it out right in front of the cosmetics counter and unsuspecting customers and staff at Target. 
Then Walmart.  Then Lowe's Home Improvement.  Customers loved it.

Videos of their performances at the various stores have been posted all over social media.  One video from Walmart alone has already been viewed nearly a million times.

All I want is acceptance from my fellow Americans. After all this country is a melting pot of all races - whomever race or sex we identify with.

which is expressly related to this, how? 

sorry, just not seeing anything connecting that incident or the video to this, at all, other than a vague sense of "we're not gonna lose to terror".  like, we dont know ANYTHING about the video or situation other than "Tennessee walmart" and "public display of patriotism".

When they said "Melting Pot", I always thought it was a figure of speech, not a process for changing your own physical traits!  It sounds extremely painful!

When you say "we [don't] know ANYTHING about the video or situation," you really mean YOU [don't] know ANYTHING about the video or situation.

and how do YOU know?


the video has no description, and nothing other than the thing itself.  there's absolutely no context whatsoever supplied, and if you know the context (which matters), then why would you post it without that context?  i say WE because you gave no indication that you knew anything either.

I don't rely on just one source.  I felt the video speaks for itself to those who will hear it.  Trust me when I say, it's related to the shooting.

well, im not about to just automatically connect something to a shooting with no context.  sorry.  i dont work that way, and surely you could see why im thinking this way.  that video absolutely does not speak for itself without the context.  hell, we dont even know when it was filmed.  this could have happened years ago for all you know..  we know when it was uploaded. 

it sounds like there's an article attached to this, so why not post the article instead of the video sans context? 

in fact, i did that myself, which provides the proper context, im just pointing something out here.

posting this:

http://6abc.com/shopping/walmart-shoppers-sing-national-anthem-in-patriotic-viral-video/869363/ (http://6abc.com/shopping/walmart-shoppers-sing-national-anthem-in-patriotic-viral-video/869363/)

means infinitely more than posting someone's cell phone video out of context with no accompanying information.

Is your Google broken, or you just want to give me a hard time.  If the latter, it's not working!    :geekdanc: :rofl: :wave:

im giving you a hard time because posting something like that out of context makes the post worthless to the discussion, and people shouldnt have to google the background of a video to make the connections for the post to make sense. 

that, and after constantly watching terrible politicians take studies, stats, videos and quotes out of context to support gun control, i hate seeing people do that exact same thing here.  without the context, it could be just about anything.

Since the video is not out of context, you are out of line. 

You being unable to find the proper context on your own isn't my problem.  Had you asked politely, I would have given you the link, even though I didn't have that information when I posted it.  All I had was the Facebook post.  A little Googling is all it took and that is way quicker than typing all the BS you did here.

The video was updated.  Have a nice day.  And if you need an orientation on how to find things on the Internet, just PM me!  I'm here for you!

You had a point?  It must have gotten lost in the 7 off-topic comments you added since I posted the video which only you whined about.

I thought it was a feel-good, patriotic, red blooded American act caught on video.  That's why I posted it.

Some people just don't get it.
