  1. No, not every muslim, but if you cannot see a problem with a guy like this in the military you're drowning in the kool-aid.

    Shooting rampage at Killeen Luby's left 24 dead
    Aug. 10, 2001, 2:51PM
    Before Oct. 16, 1991, the Central Texas town of Killeen was perhaps best known for its proximity to the Army base at Fort Hood, and Luby's was known only regionally as a popular cafeteria chain that served a wide variety of inexpensive dishes.

    But on that day, both came to be linked to what was then the worst mass murder in U.S. history.

    At 12:45 p.m., 35-year-old George Hennard of nearby Belton drove his pickup truck through a window at the Killeen Luby's and killed 24 people.

    Well, it would nice if we had better foresight. But as it stands now we trust until we have reason not to. It's sometimes costly as we have seen again, but would you rather live in a society that jails every human type that has ever been involved in crime?

  4. I don’t want to point out the obvious but the US armed forces has always had a large number of people who were born outside the US from day one. We have a large number of Muslims in the UK armed forces and so far no real issues which is great considering most are of Pakistani origin. This guy was "postal" and was probably using Islam as some twisted justification for his actions.

  6. Ricter together with other untermenschen or subhumans on ET is on my ignore list so I can't see where he says this tragedy is funny. Please quote that section if you want me to comment.
