WTF, 50 people??????
I personaly believe that religious zealotry and modern arms do not mix well. Thats not just in the states either.
Yep...What astounds me is they actually think engaging in crazy, barbaric behavior like this will actually make a difference! Anyway,I'm just glad that maggot infested shit stain was killed.
This is why they all use swords in Arabia
I just saw an interview with a Gay who had come out - pardon the pun.
He came out of the fire exit and barricaded the door behind him so that no-one else could exit the building through the same route. I would say that this man should be arrested and charged with something because that is just fucked up.
The whole situation is fucked up. The US needs to control its guns and have the registries far more regulated. Obviously each individual state having their own gun registry and procedures doesn't work so they should have a country wide gun and criminal/mental health records service which they quite clearly do not have now.
This doesn't take away from the fact that the guy was evil to the core
That's the only thing I can think when people do this shit. Like, honestly, what the actual fuck
And also, fuck the guy who barricaded the exit
I had to think about the words to use there. People these days use curse words to describe criminals and things. They should just be referred to as Evil or pure evil. I think that instead referring to terrorists as murderers would be a far better idea as that is exactly what they are.
I heard the news stations were also broadcasting far more details than would be wise(although I wasn't able to confirm this). If this is true the media seriously need to be fucked up
I imagine those actions will be with them every night of the rest of their lives, too.
Sorry, but I disagree. There is no such thing as objective evil. This is a person who did what he thought was natural and right given his beliefs and the way he was raised.
As long as we justify having irrational, extreme beliefs, we will have these situations, no matter how much we control guns or keep track of mental health records. The real problem is that we continue to justify insane beliefs because they fall under the umbrella of religion. And please don't tell me that this is only a few fringe crazy people who have nothing to do with the bulk of religious people. These "lunatics" are literally following the teachings of their religion, and all the "moderate" people are providing coverage for them by not openly rejecting those teachings.
Man, this was really sad news to wake up to. It's sounding more and more like this was someone who willingly joined ISIS and then carried this out.
This will never end, not unless something serious is done.
I agree...And unless that certain passage is erased from that certain book,nothing will ever change.
People need to be educated more. Specific religious schooling should be banned in state schools and should never become part of government legislation making.
The main problem in the west is that people think that Islam = religion when in fact its like Christianity. Christianity has Protestantism, Catholicism, Greek Orthodox etc and Islam has Sunni, Shia, Wahhabism etc
Not every Muslim wants to kill every non-muslim.
Islam in general though is stuck in the past, the Saudis should take a large proportion of the blame for this.
All religious legislation, laws, and court systems should be banned and removed from government state or federal. You can't give any quarter to anyone using religion as way to justify a persons action.

Wait. Did the news agency change the article tittle?
Yeah I noticed it so I updated the post title too.
I was wondering if it did it automaticly. I know it was a long shot that the title update would be automatic though but i would be kind of neat.
A question to the NSA after all these recent shooting incidents.
Their job is not to stop terrorism. Their job is to stop you.
Ok. Tell me again how this is completely unrelated to religion and how most religious people are peaceful and unwilling to impose their view on others. Because, you know, religion is all about peace and love and tolerance OF EVERYTHING THAT DOES NOT OFFEND ME!!!!
