Brazil school shootings: Shooter's "references to Islamic fundamentalism", "got closer to Islam"
McClatchy-Tribune ^

RIO DE JANEIRO—At least 11 people, mostly children, died Thursday and more that 15 were wounded when an armed man attacked a school in Realengo in the poor suburbs of Rio de Janeiro.

Police initially said that 13 people had died, but Rio de Janeiro’s Health Ministry later lowered the death toll.

[...]

Police Col. Djalma Beltrami said the killer used two handguns and a lot of ammunition. The suspect left behind a letter, in which he anticipated committing suicide after the attack. Beltrami, however, gave no details of any possible motive.

Beltrami described the letter as “the words of a person who no longer believes in anything, full of sentences that made no sense and references to Islamic fundamentalism.”

[...]

Roselane de Oliveira, a sister of the attacker, told Rio de Janeiro radio station Band News that the young man “was very strange.”

“He had no friends, and he spent all his time on the internet,” she said.

In recent months, she said, he appeared to have got closer to Islam.

Police stressed, however, that there was no concrete evidence that the attack had either a religious or a political motive.

"Well, he is real close to Islam now! Dead as a door nail."

More like burning in hell . . .

I agree. The destruction of Mecca would put an immediate end to Islam.

I watched the CBS and other news stories about this last night and did not hear one, even Fox, tell us that the shooter was a muslim............

Such a peaceful young man. Did he get his 72 virgins? Inquiring minds want to know!

I already knew before I watched that this was true. I was just checking to see if my guess was correct, that they would not say it, or even allude to terrorism..............

He committed suicide, not martyrdom, therefore he’s just dead with no virgins. But as a consolation prize he may get a bag-o-raisins...............

As usual, the government is quick to deny that religious (Islamic) motivation was a factor. If they had found so much as a certificate from Vacation Bible School in his closet, they’d be trumpeting “Right Wing Christian Extremist Wages Holy War on Children”.

Charlie Sheen is Jewish, unfortunately*

* Well, it was fortunate that the stuipod ADL accused Charlie Sheen of being anti-semitic and they looked really stupid when he pointed out he was Jewish.

Yes, they are getting closer to the point where every nation on Earth that is not Muslim has had enough of them.

There's no need to be repetitive and redundant you know!

Psycho: The name’s Francis Soyer, but everybody calls me Psycho. Any of you guys call me Francis, and I’ll kill you.

Leon: Ooooooh.

Psycho: You just made the list, buddy. And I don’t like nobody touching my stuff. So just keep your meat-hooks off. If I catch any of you guys in my stuff, I’ll kill you. Also, I don’t like nobody touching me. Now, any of you homos touch me, and I’ll kill you.

Sergeant Hulka: Lighten up, Francis.
