Maybe the media should refer to him as a white-black, that way, it DE-escalates the situation.

Blacks on twitter are getting angry at the media for the way they are “portraying the shooter”.

Figgers.

If he turns out to be a fag that will never be mentioned on TV. They are all perfectly functioning, sane people. Most killers, certainly mass killers, always turn out to be psychotic homosexuals.

Don’t think I’ve ever met a black person with the last name Flanagan.

I think it's Irish. Like......Obama.

Yep. Make him eat, sleep, and breathe at the behest of a country he obviously detests

I disagree. He took two innocent lives ... he doesn't deserve to keep his (from any perspective -- moral, religious, justice -- you name it).

Evil must first be destroyed, then we can do all of the analytical "stuff".

It may be gun country, but liberals in the media, aren’t. Companies are sure to have prohibitions on employee carry.

I would use him to study the effects of high ballistic projectiles entering his skull.

The assumption that muslims are responsible for every major incident on this forum is ridiculous. It’s usually just blacks being blacks.

The whole thing went down in less than 5 seconds. I doubt anyone would’ve had the presence of mind or the capability to return fire, and at the least, the young reporter would’ve been dead anyway.

At 6:45 most good folks are going to work and not walking along a pier.

I think that’s actually his FATHER. The only Iris Al-Uqdah is around 60 years old.
