The Munich Shooter Is Driving the Mainstream Media Nuts

From The American Thinker Blog:

Ali David Sonboly, the young man who shot up Munich last week, killing 9 mostly young people and wounding dozens of others, is driving the mainstream media nuts. It’s so bad, they can’t even decide what they want to call him. Is it Ali David Sonboly, or David Ali Sonboy, or just David Sonboy, as the primly and properly PC BBC tried to have it?

But now it’s really getting confusing. As this article from the Mirror, among many others, now reports, Sonboly “reportedly saw it as an ‘honour’ that he had the same birthday as the Nazi leader [Hitler] - April 20,” “was proud to be a German-Iranian ‘Aryan,’” and “felt ‘superior’ to those of either [Turk or Arab] origin.” These discoveries greatly aggravate the already severe disorientation that the MSM has suffered over his motives. It seems that some among them think Sonboly was a neo-Nazi Irano-Aryan acolyte of Breivik – anything, please, but a Muslim.

So, was this young man just a “lazy” and “chubby” misfit who moved from depression to derangement and then obsession with mass murder for fascist reasons, or was he acting out of some influence of radical Islam? Or aren’t both possible?

Face it, the Drive-By Media is in denial.

3 Munich Shooters On The Loose, 9 Dead

From The Daily Caller:

German police report multiple injuries and multiple possibly killed in a mass shooting at Olympia Einkaufszentrum shopping center in Munich, Germany in the late hours of July 22.

German police said on Twitter nine people have been killed, and all public transit has been shut down as the hunt for the shooters goes on. Police are searching for three suspects, one of whom reportedly has shot himself dead.
............................

Munich police released statements on twitter urging Munich residents to stay at home, avoid public areas, and confirming several injuries.

My first thought, here we go again. It's probably another radical jihadi(s) on the loose.

Ban on AR-15 Rifles Would Not Have Prevented Dallas Police Ambush

From Breitbart's Big Government:

In the wake of Dallas Police ambush, left-wing voices renewed their calls for a ban on AR-15 rifles. However, a CBS News report shows that such a ban would have been impotent because the gunman used an SKS rifle rather than an AR-15.

The SKS is an antique rifle that was designed during WWII and used during the Vietnam War. It is a semiautomatic rifle with a fixed magazine. And while the fixed magazine can be removed and the rifle adapted to detachable magazines, the firearm was designed with a fixed magazine in place.

Whoops!!!

So here is another case when the assault weapons ban would not have have been effective in stopping a mass shooting.

But it's the first place Preisident 4Putt went.

NBC ‘Law Enforcement Expert’ Blamed Orlando Terror Shooting on Anti-Gay ‘White Hate Groups’

From Breitbart's Big Journalism:

Early on Sunday before the world learned the identity and religion of the man who murdered up to 50 people in an Orlando, Florida, gay bar, a “law enforcement expert” for NBC went on the air on MSNBC and hinted that the shooter was probably a Christian and a member of a “white hate group.”

Whoops!

Just before 7AM as the details about the shooting were beginning to roll out, NBC analyst Jim Cavanaugh appeared to tell the MSNBC audience that the man who shot up the bar was likely a long-time patron of the club and may have been banned by management for some reason. Cavanaugh said the shooting could have been a revenge shooting.

But Cavanaugh indulged in other speculation, insisting that there are “a lot” of white, Christian, domestic terrorist types who would carry out an attack on a gay bar because “they hate diverse people.”

Just like the Aurora Mass Shooter, the Drive-By Media was hoping for this to be the facts!

Obama Is Wrong -- Mass Shootings Do Happen Elsewhere, And More Often

From John R. Lott, Jr. at Investors via H/T at Instapundit:

It's as if he just spouts whatever bullshit sounds good at the moment, without the least concern for truth or accuracy.

Barack Obama stunned Americans and French alike on Tuesday with his false claims about gun violence in America. "I say this every time we've got one of these mass shootings. This just doesn't happen in other countries," the president claimed, as he has repeatedly over the years. Talk about being self-absorbed.

The French have witnessed three mass public shootings this year. January saw two attacks, one on the Charlie Hebdo magazine and another on a Paris supermarket. In the November attacks, 129 people were killed and 352 were injured. In 2015, France suffered more casualties than the U.S. has suffered during Obama's entire presidency (508 to 394).

Obama also overlooks Norway, where Anders Behring Breivik used a gun to kill 67 people and wound 110 others. Still others were killed by bombs that Breivik detonated. Of the four worst K-12 school shootings, three have occurred in Europe. Germany had two of these — one in 2002 at Erfut and another in 2009 at Winnenden, with a total death toll of 34.

Obama isn't correct even if he meant the frequency of fatalities or attacks. Many European countries actually have higher rates of death from public shootings that resulted in four or more murders. It's simply a matter of adjusting for America's much larger population.
.................................

Can Obama actually believe his claim that these attacks "just doesn't happen in other countries"? More likely, Obama is willing to go to any extreme as he pushes for European-type gun control. The last thing he wants to admit is that countries with such strict gun control laws can have so many deadly attacks.

Or as Glenn Beck believes, a delusional, dumb, son of a bitch!

The Dog That Won't Quit Barking

From The National Review:

The evidence continues to accumulate that the Bonnie and Clyde massacre in San Bernardino yesterday was a case of jihad. We’ve got the home armory. We’ve got the pilgrimage to Mecca. We’ve got the contact with foreign terrorist subjects. Sherlock Holmes solved the case in the story “Silver Blaze” with the clue of the dog that didn’t bark. The San Bernardino dog won’t shut up.

President Obama was talking about gun control before the bodies had turned cold. He now prefers to avoid the obvious for as long as possible, holding out hope that he can resort to the laughable “workplace violence” dodge that he has found useful in the past

This particular case of jihad comes at an inconvenient time for Obama politically, with his lectures regarding the claims of Syrian refugees sitting in the background and the new wave yet to land on our shores. It makes the critics he has obnoxiously disparaged as heartless ingrates seem like prudent guardians of our fellow citizens. Obama has an entirely different agenda and it doesn’t take an observer with the deductive powers of Sherlock Holmes to figure it out either.

Yep!

San Bernardino Jihadi a ‘Constant Presence’ at Mosque, Recently Memorized Koran

From Breitbart California:

Two brothers who attended the same Southern California mosque as a gunman who killed 14 people say he was a devout Muslim who showed up to pray every day before he abruptly stopped three weeks ago.

Nizaam Ali and Rahemaan Ali said Thursday that Syed Rizwan Farook had been a constant presence at the mosque for two years and had recently memorized the Quran.

As if this is really a surprise.

CNN -- Handguns Used In San Bernardino Attack Purchased ‘Legally’

From Breitbart's Big Government:

The two handguns Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik used in the San Bernardino attack were purchased “legally.”

This means the handguns used by Farook and Malik were acquired via background checks.

This also means Farook and Malik join a long and growing list of attackers and alleged attackers who passed background checks for their firearms as well. Those include Chris Harper Mercer (Umpqua Community College), Vester Lee Flangan (Virgina), John Russell Houser (Lafayette), Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez (Chattanooga), Dylann Roof (Charleston), Elton Simpson and Nadir Soofi (Garland), Jared and Amanda Miller (Las Vegas), Elliot Rodger (Santa Barabara), Ivan Lopez (Fort Hood 2014), Darion Marcus Aguilar (Maryland mall), Karl Halverson Pierson (Arapahoe High School), Paul Ciancia (LAX), Andrew John Engeldinger (Minneapolis), Aaron Alexis (DC Navy Yard), Tennis Melvin Maynard (West Virginia), Wade Michael Page (Sikh Temple), James Holmes (Aurora theater), Jared Loughner (Tucson), Nidal Hasan (Fort Hood 2009), Jiverly Wong (Binghamton), Seung-Hui Cho (Virginia Tech), Naveed Haq (Seattle), and Mark Barton (Atlanta).

The two AR-15s used in the attack were also purchased legally. CNN reports that the rifles “were purchased by someone else, possibly a former roommate, also legally three or four years ago.”

Hmmm. So how iwll universal background checks stop these massacres?

President Obama Asserted America Was Safe from Islamic State Right Before California Attack

From Breitbart's National Security:

Right before the attack in California happened, President Obama explained to CBS’s Norah O’Donnell that America was safe from the Islamic State and urged Americans to feel safe.

“ISIL is not going to pose an existential threat to us,” he said, insisting that although they were a “dangerous organization,” the country had strengthened national security under his administration.

Obama taped his interview with O’Donnell on Wednesday, right before the attacks occurred. The interview was aired on CBS this morning.

It would almost be funny, if not for the tragedies, that the Dear Leader can't catch a break regarding terrorism. He told George Stephanopolis the morning of the Paris attack that ISIS was under control. The he told us we were safe and then San Bernadino happens.

Suspected Hybrid Workplace Jihadi Communicated With Overseas Hybrid Workplace Jihadis Online

From Ace of Spades HQ:

This is from the New York Daily News, by the way: the newspaper that hates your god, but not Allah.

The Muslim man who massacred 14 California health workers at a holiday party was radicalized and communicating with suspected terrorists before the killing spree, CNN reported.

Syed Farook, 28, spoke by phone and via social media with the suspected terrorists -- including some with people in foreign countries, according to the CNN report.

But sources told the network it was unclear if Farook -- who traveled to Saudi Arabia for several weeks in 2013 and Pakistan a year later -- was directly motivated to attack by his contact with the radicals.

More Details: This Daily Mail article has a lot of details I didn't know, such as: The terrorists tossed out pipe bombs at the cops during the pursuit, Tsarnaev-style.

It seems the Media is the only ones who are surprised the mass shooters were muslims.

San Bernadino Shooters Unknown -- Here Are Some Past Mass Shooters

From Ann Coulter via the Daily Caller:

The San Bernadino shooting has just happened and the shooters are unknown, but in response to Robert Dear Jr.’s murder of three people at a Colorado Springs shopping mall last week, The New York Times exulted:

“Even as politicians and those in Congress pump up public fears at the supposed threat of refugees fleeing Syria, every day in America people — mostly white men — are walking into movie theaters, restaurants, churches, grade schools and health care centers armed to the teeth, determined to take as many people out as they can.”

Mostly white men???

I know it didn’t happen here, but is the Times really going to ignore the murder of 130 people in Paris two weeks ago?

Here at home, an Oregon Community College was shot up in October — by a mixed-race, half-black immigrant, Chris Harper-Mercer. Nine people were killed. It’s hard to remember every sensational crime, but that was just two months ago.
..........................

After 20 years of nearly non-stop mass murder by non-white immigrants in a country that is still majority white, our media have the audacity to claim that tens of thousands of Syrian Muslims are less dangerous than the most pacific human beings in world history: 21st-century white American men.

She nails it again.

Report of up to 20 people shot in San Bernardino

From Hotair:

No details yet beyond the number and the fact that, as best we know as of 2:30 ET, the shooter is still active. Stand by for updates.

Update: An ABC affiliate in SoCal says 1-3 shooters are being sought, but the possibility of multiple shooters is routinely mentioned early on after news like this breaks. In reality it’s almost always a single shooter.

Political Cartoon of the Day - Obama Gun Control

From Lucienne:

NYT Admits Mass Shooters Are Getting Their Guns via Background Checks

From Breitbart's Big Government:

Two days after nine students were shot and killed at Umpqua Community College, The New York Times sucked a bit of the air out of the gun control lobby by admitting that mass shooters aren’t acquiring guns in some secretive manner, but are walking into gun stores and passing background checks.

So passing a law requiring universal background check would NOT stop mass shooting! But, Pro-Gun Control politicians and pundits INSIST universal background checks will end the mass shooting!

Could they have ulterior motive background checks? (Hint: National Gun Registry!)

CNN White-Washing the Oregon Killer - Literally

From The Gateway Pundit via H/T at Ace of Spades HQ:

The media also refers to him as white despite the fact that he's just as black as Barrack Obama is.

So will he be referred to a as a White African American?

Clackamas -- the Oregon Massacre a Gun Stopped

From The American Thinker:

President Obama’s politicization of the massacre in the gun-free zone that was Umpqua Community College in Rosburg, Oregon shows how selective he is about which shootings he comments on to advance his gun control agenda and ignores the fact that in another Oregon town, Clackamas, an armed citizen cut short a similar mass killing.

In Obama’s Chicago, arguably the most gun-controlled city in America, if not the world, the carnage at Umpua Community College is considered an average weekend. A few days earlier, Lolita Wells of Chicago, mother of six and grandmother of six, was gunned down, along with her pregnant daughter Patricia Chew. Wells’ baby grandson was also wounded but survived. About this President Obama said nothing.
..............................

Overlooked in the news coverage of the Umpqua shootings was the Oregon massacre that wasn’t at Clackamas Town Center Mall in December of 2012. As Investor’s Business Daily noted, fortune placed a good guy with a gun at the same place a bad guy with a gun planned a massacre.

An example of a good guy with a gun stopping a bad guy with a gun.

Simple question you need to ask every liberal who want to prevent one from using a gun to protect themselves, :Why do you call the police, when there is a shooter on the loose?" When they eventually get to the police having a gun, point out that your gun is there instantly, not 5-10 agonizing minutes later.

Forget Oregon’s Gunman. Remember the Hero Who Charged Straight at Him.

From The Daily Beast via H/T at Instapundit:

Forget the 26-year-old zero who murdered 10 innocents at Umpqua Community College on Thursday morning.

The one to remember is 30-year-old Chris Mintz, the student and Army vet who was shot at least five times while charging straight at the gunman in an effort to save others.

Mintz did so on the sixth birthday of his son, Tyrik.

Mintz was shot seven times, and the shooter missed critical organs and nerves, but broke both his legs.

He is another fine example of the brave men, who are/were part of the American Military. Like his brethren, who stop the Paris Train Shooter, he did not retreat, like the French, but charged ahead and attacked.

So how long, if ever, will it be before he is invited to the White House by the Dear Leader?

Milo Yiannopoulos -- If You Want to Stop Mass Shooting, Try Treating Boys Better

From Milo Yiannopoulos at Breitbart's Big Government via H/T at Ace of Spades HQ:

Provocative piece with some truth in it, but I think it's mostly off the mark. I'll explain why after a quote (but I suggest reading the whole thing).

I might be a raging homo, but I still innately understand the male need to conquer, crush and win. Men need to express that dark, powerful part of themselves, or it can abruptly overflow. If it is suppressed, derided and ridiculed, it can show up without warning and with horrible consequences. That’s why I'm so distressed that heterosexual men are being told, constantly, by the media and even in schools, that what they are is bad. This, I submit, is at least in part what’s driving the recent spate of shootings.

The media trash-talks everything men love: guns, booze, boisterousness, drugs, sex and video games. Economic pressures are relentlessly stripping away male spaces like the traditional pub, where blokes can drink and bond. Social pressures are opening up male-only golf and social clubs to women, destroying what made them precious and essential.
.............................

Masculinity isn't fragile, as a spiteful, sociopathic feminist Twitter hashtag recently claimed. But -- and here’s where some man-hating feminists almost get it right-- it is powerful, and exciting, and it does have a flip-side if not properly respected. At its best, male competitiveness is the driving force behind most of society's progress. We would be nowhere without the patriarchy, from the internet and space travel to the road under your feet and the roof on your house. The same thing that drives mass shooters inspires courage, too.

It is certainly true that masculinity, and the urge to "crush and conquer" Milo mentions, is a driving force in civilization, for good for ill. If this force is not channelled(sic) into useful ends, you get ISIS -- blood, rape, war and fire.

When it's well-channelled(sic), you get guys like Sean Spencer and Chuck [Yeager].

But here's the part where I think Milo goes wrong: Almost all men have this desire to "crush and conquer." It's deep-seeded in men. But the problem is, and the problem has always been, there are some men who are ineffectual -- losers, in the vernacular; Failed Men, men who have failed to really satisfy their sense of what a man is -- and thus are always frustrated in their primeval urges to "crush and conquer."

And radical feminism doesn't really have anything at all to do with that. Someone who wishes to be the ultimate winner, but is more like a sad loser, is going to have some very tender psychological wounds due to that fact.

I agree with Milo partly and Ace partly. Alpha Men have an instinctual urge to "crush and conquer" and push the limits, a la Chuck Yeager, Gordon Cooper, Larry Vickers, and Felix Baumgartner. Just as there will always be the Beta nerds, who can't do, but create the technology to make it possible, like the NASA engineers, who figured out how to make a square peg fit in a round hole, 250,000 miles from Earth during the Apollo 13 mission.



There is a 3rd group, however, who are the "Failed Men of society" referred to by Ace, who are the problem, "whether they're petty criminals (usually of the crueler type) or wife-beaters, child-abandoners, or even child molesters." They are the ones who turn into mass shooters.

The Mainstream Media Failed In Its Primary Responsibility and Dylann Roof Got a Gun

From Breitbart's Big Government:

A racist terrorist named Dylann Roof bought a firearm, and the American mainstream media helped him get it.

America’s utterly useless and hopelessly corrupt mainstream media has once again failed in its primary responsibility, which is to watch-dog the government — most especially the large and powerful, and increasingly unwieldy and corrupt, federal government. ......................


The Feds screwed up, plain and simple, and did so at the most important job they have: keeping us safe by keeping firearms out of the hands of Dylann Roofs.

Without question, a devastating national tragedy that might have been avoided falls on the F.B.I. Sure, Roof might have been able to get an illegal gun elsewhere. What we do know is how he did get the gun that allowed him to commit this unspeakable crime.

So where the hell was our media?

Instead of rising up to their primary responsibility of watch-dogging the government… Instead of investigating and regularly testing the federal laws and systems already in place to keep guns out of the hands of Dylann Roofs… Instead of keeping the federal government on its toes by letting them know that they are always watching, testing, prodding… The utterly useless pail of rancid garbage we call the American mainstream media is instead. ......... Hot taking and here’s why-ing and pundit-ing and creating snappy videos and schmoozing and tweeting and talking head-ing and viralizing and scheming today’s Narrative to attack the Right and forever scheming ways to give the central federal government even more power and relentlessly scheming to emotionally blackmail law-abiding citizens to give up their guns.
......................

But no one had the time to watch-dog the…

IRS

NSA

DOJ

The Clinton Foundation

The State Department

And no one in the media had the time or desire to test, prod, provoke, challenge, or investigate the very mechanism that is responsible for doing what the media claims is oh-so very important to them: KEEP GUNS OUT OF THE WRONG HANDS.

Face it, the Drive-By Media are simply democratic operatives with bylones.

To Stop Mass Killers, We Have To Stop Drugging Our Young Boys

From Breitbart's Big Government:

As America comes to terms with a monstrous shooting in Charleston that has left nine churchgoers dead, bewildered members of the public are seeking rationality in apparently wanton and inscrutable crimes.

We may never know quite what drives some people to kill. But it seems that in young Dylann Storm Roof, we have further evidence of a trend that should worry us all. I’m talking about his dependence on prescription drugs: suboxone, to be precise.

Roof is just the latest in a long line of young men who have committed appalling crimes after a lifetime on psychotropic drugs. If you don’t believe me, consider some of the most notorious young male shooters in American history.

Sandy Hook shooter Adam Lanza? Lexapro and Celexa. Red-headed Aurora killer James Holmes? Clonazepam and sertraline. Virginia Tech mass murderer Seung-Hui Cho? Prozac. Charles Whitman, the “Texas Tower Sniper”? Dexedrine. Columbine executioners Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold? Zoloft and Luvox.

You get the idea. These young men were all on prescribed medication. Feminism helped to get them there. In particular, female teachers who either dislike men or are completely ignorant of healthy behaviour norms for boys are creating a generation of emotionally stunted, drugged up young men.

I having a saying which applies, one time is an anomaly, two times is a coincidence, three times is a pattern.

The writer is correct that the feminist movement through the predominance of female elementary school teachers, has essentially made being a little boy, some type of condition which needs to be treated and eliminated.
