'Simplified' Chattanooga Explanation (via Esquire)

[rips31]

Esquire magazine has a "great" article offering the simple reason why Chattanooga happened.

...Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez was as much of an American as the four people he allegedly murdered. His motivation doesn't matter. He was a citizen. His victims were citizens. Americans killing other Americans.

Read at risk of your sanity.

ETA: Ugh, might be more suited for OT. Soory.

Fine.

Why was he allowed to become an American and how can we avoid more Americans like him in the future?

[sealocan]

I feel pretty sure if you had asked him if even HE identified himself as an American that you would get a negative response.

Don't these writers even consider common sense things like that.

of course he can not be reached for comment because he's dead...
so just make it all up with lies to feed your "Esquire" agenda that is not working.

[Jimi Jah]

Maybe Esquire can tell us how many Americans think and act like that?

[jyo]

Sooooo, now Esquire magazine is a valid source for "facts"---I don't think so...

HE LIED!

He wasn't an American. He was a Muslim. It's impossible to be both.

This articles premise is that gun violence is uniquely American; that revenge is uniquely American. Its flawed from the beginning.

Umm hey guys.... Not everyone Muslim is a terrorist.. I'm not Muslim, I'm a Sri Lankan Buddhist who gets that bull**** terrorist stereotype every freaking day. No doubt this Chattanooga shooter was a piece of ****, along with any other person that has killed innocent people for any reason, terrorist or not.... But to generalize every Muslim as bad or evil is like generalizing every white kid as a school shooter or every white person as a racist who is waiting to shoot up black churches
