A White Male Terrorist Shot More People Today Than Refugees Have Since 9/11

[Triana]

Today’s shooting at a Planned Parenthood clinic is a milestone — a white male terrorist harmed more people today than Syrian refugees have in the last 14 years since 9/11.

While Syrian refugees have killed or injured zero Americans in terrorist attacks in the last decade and a half, the still-unidentified shooter, described as a white male with a white beard, carrying an AK-47, has harmed 9 people. 5 of those victims are police officers. As of this writing, no fatalities have been reported.

Today’s terrorist attack is just one of hundreds this year, with still over a month left to go until 2016. The Washington Post’s Chris Ingraham tweeted a graphic today showing that there had been more mass shootings in 2015 than days passed in 2015.

1. Before or since 9/11.

[exboyfil]

2. 2nd one of these they have had in a month

in Colorado Springs.

3. Tell me again

Why we're so worried about the refugees?

[GoneFishin]

12. Yep. Also tell me why we spend $73 craptillion dollars spying on Arabs and Muslims.

4. 3 fatalities confirmed. From the _Washington Post_:

"Three dead, 9 injured following shootout at Planned Parenthood in Colorado Springs"

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2015/11/27/active-shooter-at-planned-parenthood-in-colorado-springs-police-and-fire-officials-say/

One police officer and two civilians died from wounds suffered in the shootings, authorities announced at a news conference.

5. 3 dead now...

...including a cop.

I hope the so-called "pro-lifers" are happy.

6. Well to them...

you gotta break a few eggs to make an omelette.

9. The last I read, a PP spokesperson said she didn't know

whether or not PP was the target. Have you gained info. that I haven't?

[Triana]

10. Police said PP was the target. The attack began and ended there. n/t

[pablo_marmol]

15. Link?

The fact that the attack began and ended at PP doesn't necessarily entail that PP was the target. Law enforcement could have been the target. I tend to avoid assuming anything. What led the police to believe that PP was the target? Statements made by the gunman?

[malaise]

17. It began at PP and ended at PP

Find your own link - it's everywhere

[pablo_marmol]

21. No need to get shitty.

Simply stating that "the police said" PP was the target shouldn't be good enough for anyone. The police routinely screw up.

Of course we all now know what happened by now -- what I object to is the predictable knee-jerk responses of some before any evidence is in.

7. Another interesting statistic....

Since 9/11, toddlers have accidentally shot and killed more people than were killed on 9/11. Sadly, in some cases they shot themselves in the head.

Unbelievable how stupid gun owners are! They don't just need background check, but IQ test and need to take and pass a class on gun safety.

Between gun violence and drunk drivers...terrorists are a very small risk.

8. Native-born American terrorism, day in and day out.

[grahamhgreen]

11. White male CHRISTIAN conservative Republican terrorist....

[GoneFishin]

13. Funny how with snooping on all of our fucking emails and phone calls, still the only terrorists

they can catch are the ones that they cultivate, provide with the money, the brains, the transportation, and fake bomb.

But the actual dangerous crazies who are known to be chock full of bullets and plumb out of brain cells manage to slip right under the radar.

14. Statement from President of Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains:

"We don't yet know the full circumstances and motives behind this criminal action, and we don't yet know if Planned Parenthood was in fact the target of this attack," Vicki Cowart, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains, said in a written statement. "We share the concerns of many Americans that extremists are creating a poisonous environment that feeds domestic terrorism in this country. We will never back away from providing care in a safe, supportive environment that millions of people rely on and trust."

18. That was before police confirmed that it was an attack on PP

It began there and ended there

[lovemydog]

19. Yes. Good point.

Now police confirmed it was an attack on Planned Parenthood.

[napkinz]

20. ...

[malaise]

22. Here's the thing - imagine M$Greedia telling us they aren't sure about motive

after they gave airtime to all the ReTHUGs spreading that made up video that was full of lies.
