The General Terrorist Rampage Thread

Can people start trying to meet in the middle? This is exhausting

Another cunty response in hopes of avoiding an actual discussion and to label me a bigot.

So it's totally reasonable that he's welcome to criticize every other religion, but not Islam?

By the way, another terrorist attack today. What's that two days in a row now?

Fuck it wasn't a white nationalist? Let's talk about statues instead!!!!

Sounds like you're all about having a civil discussion on the subject.

I've agreed that geopolitics Plays a role too. Other side won't concede that the ideology plays a role at all. That seems like me moving to the middle and the other side not willing to budge.

Great take, you bring up some interesting points.

Anyone who does not acknowledge that each of: politics (including geopolitics), structures (economic, class, power, etc.), and religion (Islam, Christianity, Judaism, etc.) all play a role should not be taken seriously. They all do.

How one wants to prioritize and organize those factors is another discussion. I am a big structuralist on this issue, and think that and political institutions explain much of the problem. And, while I think it comes in at a clear third place, religion has historically been violent. At this time, Islam is the "fashionable" violent religion. While I don't believe anything in Islam is inherently more violent than what exists in Christianity, one would be a fool to deny how ISIS, al-Qaeda, et. al are using certain texts within the region to their advantage.

EDIT to say: this is no different than how the very conservative, hassidic Israelis use Judaism to justify violence against Palestinians; or how Christianity has been used for centuries to justify conquest. I.E., I don't think it has anything to do with Islam specifically, but more to do with religion as a whole and the role of religion in the region.

Fuck thanks for the news, hadn't heard yet. 20+. That's a lot of empty spots at the breakfast table.

Man, like an hour ago CNN pushed to my phone only two dead, and then 45 minutes later it was 20. Holy shit.

Awful.

Awful.

Any updates on who the killers were?

Nothing released on the deceased shooter.

Second suspect sought is Marilou Danley. No details have been released on her role in this.

Initial details are often wrong in these cases.

No new details as of 0300 PST.

Second suspect is either Geary Danley or Stephen C Paddock from what I've been able to find looking at data dumps from multiple places after an aggregate of social media and online shopping accounts.

Possible connections to Yvette Farlco, BAMN, and Antifa (unconfirmed) also found in the social media dumps for Danley.

Not much dumped on the 2nd possibility of Stephen C Paddock yet.

This is just gut-wrenching.
