Two shot dead after they open fire at Mohammed cartoon event in Texas

Anonymous
Bunch of open-carrying NRA loving Muslim hating right wingers yet it was the police who had to come in and stop the attack.

It shows that whole "we don't need cops, just carry a gun for self protection" thing is all just a bunch of bunk after all.

What???

The event organizer hired extra security, as they were required to do by the venue. Some of those security people (some were security for the school district that owns the building, some were off-duty police officers that were hired as security) were outside.

The shooters came up in a car. The participants in the event, the "right wingers" as you call them, were inside the building. So of course the security was the first line of defense.

Your rant doesn't even make sense.

your rant makes absolutely no sense. In fact, it demonstrates that gun ownership isn't the problem you want to make it out to be.

Not only is there a "contest" to draw the prophet with everyone knowing full well the angst it causes among Muslims, but you have this "event" in a part of Texas that has substantial population of Somali Muslims. What did people expect to happen?


Yes, it is very insensitive to organize such an event.

But guess what? That still doesn't make it okay to try to kill the people who do that.

Didn't say it was "ok" did I? In fact I said that I am not condoning it - said that right there in the first line.

My point was given what has happened in other places in the wake of these types of cartoons, what did people expect to happen?

NP here, but I personally expect not to be shot at when I say or do something that's against someone's religion.

The group that organized the event is anti-Muslim and was trying to be offensive and provoke a reaction. They got exactly what they expected and wanted to happen. Two morons showed up and gave them what they expected.

I don't see people being so sensitive when it comes to their religions, Damn, on any given day it is open season on Jews and Christians here on DCUM alone. Yet, Islam is to be treated with special kid gloves. Interesting.

"What did people expect?" Seriously?

I'll tell you what America expects:

We expect that we can publish a crass, tasteless cartoon like Cahlie Hebdo without the editorial staff being murdered in cold blood.

We expect that a woman on FaceBook can propose "Everybody Draw Mohamed Day" without being forced into hiding for over 4 years by constant death threats: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everybody_Draw_Mohammed_Day

We expect that idiot neo nazis can lawfully apply to march through a predominantly Jewish neighborhood and they won't be denied their right to free speach, but only because an ACLU lawyer, a Jewish one at that, defends their rights:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Socialist_Party_of_America_v._Village_of_Skokie

We expect that Westboro Baptist crazies will show up in an "insensitive" fashion, and we expect counter-demonstrations (I would hope so anyway).

THAT is what we expect, PP. Nothing less.

America is a diverse place. If you come to America, we demand you peacefully tolerate that diversity. If you don't like other people's views, then speak up. Get a permit and hold a peaceful demonstration. Write a letter to the editor. Start a blog.

But if your response to other people's viewpoint is to drive their with AK-47s, then I hope they shoot you dead before you hurt anybody.

NOW you KNOW what we expect, you intolerant, narrow-minded prick!

The event was sponsored by the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI) and attended by its president and co-founder, Pamela Geller — who is also president of Stop Islamization of America (SIOA). Both are listed as hate groups by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Geller, a prominent campaigner against plans for a mosque near Ground Zero, is author of "The Post-American Presidency: The Obama Administration's War on America." In 2013 she was reportedly barred from entering Britain, where she was due to speak at a rally organized by the far-right group English Defense League.


I'm not siding with the shooters in any way, but the person running this event was asking for and expecting violence. This was not a "free speech" event. It was an "insult Islam" event.

Yes, but if a bakery refuses to bake a . . . .

oh nevermind.

Don't be obtuse, it isn't amusing and it isn't becoming--but are indeed proving the point. Only SOME religions are to be protected from ridicule. Got it!

People respond to radical Islam and are quickly told that isn't Islsm just a perversion. Yet it is more than okay to brand all of Christianity by one part. You showed yourself to be s narrow-minded ass.

Well then you have not been paying attention to what happened in France, Germany and other parts of the world. Because given waht has happened in other parts of the world, if I attedended this event in an area with a subrantial Muslim population, I would expect some trouble.
