Fuuuuuck.... I sincerely hope this was just an isolated incident and not related to ISIS...

And for the sake of your sanity, stay away from the comments... Many of them will just make you want to punch people through your computer screen.

Believe it or not, this actually makes me jealous of Canada. Why? Because shooting there are still so rare they're newsworthy. Here in the U.S., they've become commonplace.

Yeah, if the pagans are so smart, why did Jesus invade Pagan-land on the back of a dragon and kill them all!

Actually, there's some reason to believe that mass shootings aren't as commonplace as some seem to think.

They have identified the shooter... I'm thinking this is looking like a homegrown terrorist, but I'm still crossing my fingers that I'm wrong...

Dakota Bob, yeah, there was. I believe that one happened in Quebec and it involved another man running down a soldier with his vehicle, killing him. I don't know much about that one, though, but it was confirmed that the guy who did it was a Canadian Citizen who was also on a list of potential terrorists. I just hope this shit doesn't start happening in Alberta... I know for a fact that I'm staying the hell away from the malls for the next little while...

What I don't understand is....What is the appeal of Wahhabism? I don't understand. You have people living high standards of living in Western society who join these bronze age groups that hate music, color, sex & fun.

I understand that a person's angry about the West messing up the Mid-East. I understand that many of these people have been targets of Islamophobia & general bigotry.

But do they join a Moderate Muslim organization that strives to set the record straight about Islam? Do they join a peace movement or Occupy? Do they join anti-hate organizations. No, they become everything that is is stale, cold, loathsome, brutal, primitive, subhuman, inhuman, EVIL! They ditch Islam for the Wahhabi heresy & they vow to send the West to the Stone Age!

Dhzokar Tsarnev, the younger surviving Boston Bomber, was, by most accounts, a nice, intelligent, fun-loving kid who was full of life and promise. He loved to party, smoke the Good Green Bud, hang with his buddies, listen to Hip Hop and had lots of girls. He was a star wrestler and basically a regular fun guy.....Then Mom & his brother went Wahhabi, causing all hell to break loose in the household, destroy Mom & Pop's marriage and "Jahar" went from "Fun Stoner Prettyboy Wrestler" to "Murderous Wahhabi of DOOM!".

I don't understand. I just don't understand it at all......

You forgot the fact that the modern state of Saudi Arabia was founded with the alliance of Muhammad ibn ʿAbd al-Wahhab on the condition that the Saudi royal family enforce and spread Wahhabi Islam throughout the world. But yeah, pretty much what I would have said.

I definitely know that. Golly, you and I agreed on something! That's great!

Yeah, I agree. If you want to know where this insanity came from, blame the Saudi Royal Family! They've been steam-rolling regular Islam so bad that it's like Legit Islam is being replaced by Nusto-slam!

More reason to find a way to ditch Saudi oil. Easier said & done, considering the corporate bigshots running the world.

Time for Bougainville Islander-style innovation from the average Jane/Joe!

Y'know, if the bozos in charge want to restrict junk like choice of fuels, birth control, etc. I guess we peons will have to improvise & teach said improvisations to others.

I would love to see folks gut vehicles and then equip them with a big network of cables & pulleys and make pedal-cars that work as well as gas-powered ones.

Or homemade steam, fry oil, etc. powered cars! DIY stuff!
