Man open fires, kills 4 marines in Chattanooga, TN; Obama responds

[PartySick 172,423]

How do you detect them when they're living among us in the US? We should watch closely on the white supremacist group and extreme religious groups.

That's another problem. It's not like fighting a country, it's a ragtag group spread thin across the globe...

[LaMaisonGaga 23,884]

Because we let in the wrong immigrants in this case. Mohammod, the killer, came to the U.S. from Kuwait, and became a naturalized U.S. citizen, and he had the a Bachelor of Science degree in Engineer. What more do religious extremist want from the U.S.? We gave him U.S. citizenship and a great education and this is how he repay us by killing US servicemen. Great chance he's influenced by ISIS and watching too many of their recruiting videos.

Were all the racist cops wrong immigrants too?

No one is blaming the IDF zionists yet ... 8-/

Cackling. That unexpected clocking.

I live in Chattanooga and it was terrifying when this was all going down. The whole city was on lockdown. 

 

[Woolfsmck 2,763]

24.. Incredible.

More efforts need to be done to keep young people away from this behavior. So sad.

what this is gonna do is make honest Arab students , tourists  and immigrants get more scrutiny from the authorities...plus hate groups are more likely to target the wrong people...not to mention the people that got killed...

if there was a way to educate potential recruits as to the extremism that they preach....I would say that would help stop these types of incidents

That reminds me of all the school shooters who lead a seemingly perfectly normal life.

But yeah, I think it's clear by now that a general education isn't a guarantee of never ending up in a terrorist movement. Education about Islam however would help for sure. I studied it for a few months and what objective a--lysis does that ISIS sources don't do is mark the extreme variety of interpretations and beliefs. There is no one Islam, therefore "it" can't make you do anything. I think it's also becoming more and more important to explain to people why Islamic orthodoxy is on the rise with newer generations in a baffling contrast with their preceding generations who, ironically, came to Western countries for financial well-being and weren't that involved in religious practice at all. Very interesting.

Gosh, I don't know, I hope it just doesn't spin out of control more than it already has.

The suspected shooter, 24-year-old Mohammod Youssuf Abdulazeez, is also dead, the FBI said.

"Mohammod"  

 

Investigators "have not determined whether it was an act of terrorism or whether it was a criminal act," Ed Reinhold, FBI special agent in charge, told reporters. "We are looking at every possible avenue, whether it was terrorism -- whether it was domestic, international -- or whether it was a simple, criminal act."

I already know the motivation, lemme quote the great Glenn Beck:

"I'm tired of everything being a lone gunman who has nothing to do with Islam; it's just his three middle names and his last name are Muhammad."

I was thinking about converting since my Muslim name is way cooler...

Just like every shooter with "christian" name must have something to do with Christianity.

 

Interesting that this guy called himself "arabian redneck".

 

"A few months before he killed five U.S. service members in a shooting rampage here, the 24-year-old gunman, who often joked that he was just an “Arabian redneck,” was smoking marijuana with friends.

It was getting late and Mohammad Youssef Abdulazeez had work the next morning at his new job some two hours away in Franklin, said a close friend who was with him that night and spent several hours with him in the days leading up to the shooting.

Abdulazeez dropped off a couple of his friends at their homes on the night in April, snorted some crushed caffeine pills and started to drive.

 

A little after 2 a.m., Abdulazeez was arrested for driving under the influence, according to court papers, an incident sharply at odds with blog posts in which he portrayed himself as a devout Muslim and his existence in this world a “prison of monotony and routine.”

The portrait emerging of Abdulazeez isn’t one of a committed Muslim or vengeful jihadist, but rather an aimless young man who came from a troubled home and struggled to hold down a job after college, said friends and law enforcement officials.

He never dated, the friend said.

 

In a statement, his family said Abdulazeez’s mental illness had contributed to the crime. “For many years, our son suffered from depression. It grieves us beyond belief to know that his pain found its expression in this heinous act of violence,” the statement said.

Abdulazeez had been in and out of treatment for his depression and frequently stopped taking his medication, despite his parents’ pleas for him to continue, said a person close to the family.

Abdulazeez smoked pot occasionally and then would feel guilty for violating his faith and beat himself up for it, said the close friend who has known Abdulazeez for 15 years and was recently questioned by the FBI. The friend, also a Muslim, spoke to The Washington Post on the condition of anonymity because he is concerned for his family’s privacy.

The friend said Abdulazeez was especially ashamed of his DUI arrest, which led to his mugshot being posted online and in Just Busted, a newspaper sold at local gas stations.

“He was pretty upset about it,” said the friend, who spoke with Abdulazeez almost daily in the weeks and days leading up to the shooting. “It was kind of degrading to him.”

Abdulazeez’s friends said he liked to shoot guns, drive four-wheelers through the mud and hike in the mountains. Within the past year, he bought two assault rifles — an AK-74 and an AR-15 — and a Saiga 12 pistol-grip shotgun from an online weapons site. Abdulazeez and his friends would drive out to the Prentice Cooper State Forest, where they would blast away at the state park’s gun range. None of his friends thought twice about his decision to purchase military-style assault weapons.

“Take any typical Chattanoogan — Christian or Muslim — and he’s going to like to shoot guns, ride trucks and climb mountains,” the friend said.

Sounds sooo devoted to religion. 

I thought only white shooters suffer from mental illnesses and have history of d--g abuse? Isn't the depression's fault for all the mass murders committed by racist white men?

[Luc 4,776]

How people commit those crimes? Mostly religious or racist extremism. 

 

Horrible crime act. My thoughts are with the families of the dead. 

Let's not forget nationalism.

Basically: any kind of group-pride. Being proud because you think a certain group (race, religion, country, etc) is better and requires extra protection.
