This is so insane. I left for my last ride alone for a while and when I left it was 20dead and 40 wounded,now 50 deceased and 46 critical w/ life threatening wounds. This has become the norm whether it be hate terrorism, a seroius nut factory, radicalized, or lone wolfs. Now as it stands the worst mass shooting in U.S. history. I actually like guns, militaria, and range shooting, for paper targets, not for this.Post edited by [Deleted User] on2chl- Adcom GFA- 555-Onkyo P-3150v pre/amp- JVC-QL-A200 tt- Denon 1940 ci cdp- Adcom GFS-6 -Modded '87 SDA 2Bs - Dynamat Ext.- BH-5- X-Overs VR-3, RDO-194 tweeters, Larry's Rings, Speakon/Neutrik I/C- Cherry stain tops Advent Maestros,Ohm model E

Rougly 8400 US citizens are placed on the terrorism watch list each year. The FBI employs roughly 35000 people. Considering the annual taxpayer investment...is it too much to ask for the FBI to keep tabs on these people. I know the shooter was taken off the list, but politics aside...I think you all get my point.

What would you want the FBI to do? Would the administration support it? probably not. What about his employer who knew of his homophobic and anti-american rants? Are they culpable? They were in fear of being fingered for political incorrectness.My New Year's resolution is 3840 × 2160

I don't think it's appropriate to dispute "facts" in a thread devoted to honoring those recently slain. Let's let them be buried before we start bickering about their place in history. The whole discussion misses the point.
I think the most painful thing about what happened on Sunday is that despite all the bluster in the media, it's nigh impossible to prevent these sorts of attacks without surrendering a part of our "who we are" or rights we care deeply about, which is why these acts seem to repeat themselves.
For now, may they all RIP. -
Call me crazy....but if you don't let them in the door to begin with then you have less for the FBI to watch, no ? After all, it's not Catholics, Southern Baptists, Protestants'....Irish/Italian/polish/Chinese/Koreans/Greeks/Spaniards/Russians/ etc., creating the problems. We know who they are, yet fail to simply admit it or do anything about it. Matter of fact, we fail to even mention who or what it is in this PC world. We refuse to stem the flow, and instead increase it....doesn't make sense to the average citizen who bears the brunt with their lives like in this case.
Tell ya what though, scares me that a security firm is afraid of political correctness and not more so what damage can be done. Common sense has truly gone out the window.HT SYSTEM-

This guy was a US citizen and again.....the political slants serve no purpose but to distract us from the fact that the FBI dropped the ball. If we had a Republican President the last 4 or 8 years.....do you really think anything would be different.
Also, there are plenty of domestic terrorism examples based on Christianity or some extreme form of it.....just as there are extreme versions of Islam in the world today. -
