From Michael Edelstein:
Walter, Why would they be coming for “us” here in the US when there’s US military and others to fight on their own shores?
Clearly Omar Mateen was a lone nut, was he not?

From Walter Block:
He was a “lone nut” who pledged himself to ISIS.

From Michael Edelstein:

ReplyDeleteyou are going to have describe this 4GW then.
DeleteSemantics.
DeleteThey are not coming for us. The guy was sexually, religiously, and probably a number of other ways confused. He was likely influenced by the FBI if not directly part of one of their "sting" operations.
It's very important that we differentiate between incidence planned and carried out by an organization and those by lone nuts that mentioned an organization in their social media chatter.
Walter Block has gone off the deep end. This is downright embarrassing.
