Cruz: TN Gunman Wasn’t ‘Lone Shooter’ Anymore Than Ft Hood Was ‘Workplace Violence’
Breitbart ^ | 07/18/2015 | Ian Hanchett

Posted on 07/18/2015 1:03:01 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

Texas Senator and Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) declared that the shooting in Chattanooga wasn’t perpetrated by a “lone gunman” “anymore than Hasan and Fort Hood was workplace violence” at Saturday’s Family Leadership Summit in Iowa.

Cruz said, “You cannot fight and defeat radical Islamic terrorism when you have a president and an administration who refuses to utter the words ‘radical Islamic terrorism.'”

Well, if he was not a lone shooter, who are his accomplices? The FBI should arrest them immediately, and charge them with participating in the shooting.

We cannot fight and defeat radical Islam because it doesn’t exist.
The jihadis are acting out the instructions of their prophet written in their holy book.

I like Ted Cruz but I dream of a candidate with the courage to face the true nature of Islam.

One of the soldiers shot at Fort Hood is saying its time to stop calling them “Lone Wolf” shooters. They’re all members of the same pack and we all know it.

Excellent comparison, Ted Cruz! Everybody in the universe knows that Ft. Hood was more than ‘workplace violence”. Everybody except Obama, that is.

A “lone” Muslim gunman is no different than a “lone” Muslim suicide bomber.

I personally do not care if Cruz really means it, or if he is just banging a political drum to get votes.

This needs to be said, and I am glad he is saying it.

Fine by me. Arrest his siblings, parents, all of the imams at that mosque on Gunbarrel Road, how ever many bureaucrats were involved in allowing these pieces of trash to enter the country, and Mohammed.

You will have a bit of trouble with that last one, but those other Bs and SOBS need to be at the Crossbar Inn.

Facilitators and abettors every one! Jack up the jail and put them under it!

Note that in all the coverage, it is noticeably absent as to any information about what happened to the terrorist. The most I have seen is “reportedly killed by the police.” There are no details. There is also no information about the weapons used by the terrorist in his attack.

Both of these things to me are heavily suspicious. That either he wasn’t killed or they are keeping details of the killing quiet while trying to find the other terrorists. And that the weaponry or other materials on his body clearly indicated he was with ISIS.

Yeah, each of the Nazi bombers that blitzed London was a "lone wolf," not part of the Wehrmacht.

An FBI official said this afternoon that they so far have “no indication” that Chattanooga gunman Mohammod Youssuf Abdulazeez was “inspired by or directed by anyone other than himself.”

Eventually there will be a big mosque next to every military base in America.

...”Well, if he was not a lone shooter, who are his accomplices?”....

His family are enablers....knowingly or otherwise....his trip to Jordan and Yemen for 8 months should reveal some connections but those in other countries are not always willing to co-operate let alone hand over information about their citizens, even if guilty of assisting him.

Since his father had been on Terrorist Watch list then removed.. ..They will now re-examine the evidence in light of the terror attack.

You can be sure his guns etc were set up for him....likely at some drop point...

The investigation isn’t over...and those they might have arrested we aren’t going to know til the investigation is completed. For obvious reasons.

Cruz said he does not want to diminish ISIS. They have to be utterly destroyed. That is the goal he would present to his military advisors who would be developing the strategy to do just that.

I don’t think Cruz is fooled at all about Islam.

We have to stop allow Muslims to immigrate.

OK Ted, so the next President starts occasionally saying "radical Islamic terrorism", sort of like GW Bush said "Islamofacism" for a few times. So what?

Under GWB, Islamic immigration actually increased (and increased further of course under Obama) So the more honest language didn't inform a more sensible real world policy regarding importing danger into our homeland.

What's the real policy change, not semantic change, that you propose Sen. Cruz?

Rand Paul (of whom I'm not a huge fan) came out recently suggesting we curtail immigration from Islamic countries. That's a great start. Do you agree with cutting/stopping immigration from terrorism-source countries, AKA, the Muslim world?

That camel's nose is already under the tent. In fact, the camel is in the tent. The military now has Muslim Chaplains, I believe.
