Today's shooting in America thread

[Rory Bluelow]

Judging by the fact that the suspect hasn't been named, or had his picture plastered all over the news yet he probably doesn't fit the bill of your average 'terrorist'?

Now named as Shamsud-Din Bahar Jabbar with what is believed to be an Islamic State flag in his truck and IED’s found near the scene. Authorities believe he didn’t work alone. US Citizen from Texas.

That authentic Texan name, shamud-din bahar jabbar.

What's a name got to do with being Texan/ American?

Obama was a president.

Someone just detonated a Tesla truck outside the Trump hotel in Vegas.

Wasn’t a 53 year old male with a satirical Roman Gladiatorial sounding name, was it?

 

[ProofMCFC]

Will keep happening, until the west gets tougher.

 

[Man-chester copperpot]

Been sent this - he mentions it was attached to car - looks kind of like an ISIS flag?
Pic isnt the best though

 

[Bigga]

Ok

Your best answer to my question.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

So, US born and served in the military, but he's brown and has a foreign sounding name.

Tough pill to swallow for the MAGA blowhards.

A terrorist has just killed multiple people and your trying to politically points score? Bit of a strange reaction

Much the same as Trump's reaction in opening his mouth too soon (again) to blame it on "criminals pouring across the border" before finding out the guy was born here.

(There's a line in the film "Civil War" (2024) where people try to get past a group of paramilitary thugs and say "we're Americans" and are asked "what kind of Americans?")

No. Any such act of violence against another human being is utterly abhorrent. I personally could't give a toss where the perpetrator is from, what his heritage is or what his political leanings are. I'm merely pointing out the disparity in the way these acts of violence are reported by certain elements of the media for the sole purpose of political point scoring.

I get you and without the "MAGA blowhards" bit, he would still have an astute point.

The thing is many of Trump's supporters now live in their own echo chambers , avoid 'mainstream news sources' and never read anything to contradict his endless lies

Alternative facts indeed

11 people got shot at the Amazura club in Queens, no fatalities thankfully.
Folk had been out for a Solar Return type birthday remembrance gathering for a kid shot n killed the previous year.

6 hit by shots up in The Bronx, again no fatalities, thankfully.
Rugrats going at it nonchalantly with fuckall regards for innocents, to the point where one intended target grabbed a woman n used her as a shield, that utterly cowardice move resulted with her catching a slug to her stomach n her daughter catching one in the leg, cowardice as fuck!
I actually use to like that part of the Bronx in years gone by, around Gun Hill / Williamsbridge n the whole White Plains Road in general.

Take the Club World Cup and World Cup off the cunts. People will be ten times safer in Saudi Arabia for their World Cup and all people have done since SA got the WC is moan about it.

 

[mancityvstoke]

The world is slowly going completely barmy.
