I'm not sure that ISIS is really our biggest threat.

This is happening far too often.

Has it been confirmed that this wasn't done by ISIS?

We should know soon.

It was three white guys in tactical gear with assault rifles, as far as I know.

Not sure that we know the ethnicity or religion yet - not that either of those things matter much anyway.

The police said they were looking for three white suspects.

Sure it matters. We need this information to confirm our prejudices.

If they are muslim then we can justify tooling with them in airports because of 911 or something. So, be patient...we might just get back to the topic after all!

I would looooooove to see how they got those numbers. Would love to see their methodology. 

I would second this, and further it by saying that I would like to see the source for the claim below.

I've seen documented pctgs of those who agree with ISIS at around 15%, which is ~200M.  I happen to believe the number is closer to 35% but no data to support it, admittedly, so perhaps the 1.3B can educate the 200M.  Either way, there's a helluva lotta them who want to take over the world and kill us or convert us in the process.

I'll defer to our resident propagandist, @Mr. Desmond, who earlier in this very thread, I believe, eagerly passed on survey results that indicated "only" 15% of Muslims agree with ISIS.  Of course, he didn't realize what a big number that truly is extrapolated against 1.57B.  I'd assume he sourced it through his usual vehicle of disinformation, NYT, but I could be wrong on that.

So, you think @Mr. Desmond is a propagandist, (and as such, unreliable), and yet you used his statistic to bolster your argument? Strange.

Um, you might note that I embellished it from 15 to 35% so, yuh.  Nothing he writes, nor you, relative to the world is true.  He knows it, you don't, so I pardon you.  To wit, your stunning revelation that the cops were after 3 white guys in San Berdu earlier today.  You will learn.

You used it as a way to bolster your argument. I was simply point that out. 

Also, Gunther, I hope you realize that the "three white guys" came directly from the mouths of the police. I didn't pull that out of thin air, but from a direct source with credibility, something that I know you are unfamiliar. 

But keep on pushing George Soros conspiracy theories and then thinking that you have any sort of credibility to call anyone out on anything. Keep on doing you, my man.

More likely, it came from a hopeful leftist media type because as we are learning, the cops knew very early who the perps were.  

I do not belittle you as I understand the genesis for your belief system and as such, I don't think ill of you as a person. As I said, you will learn, bit by bit, piece by piece.  I do wish you well kid.

Why would they be hopeful that it's a white person? That makes no sense. Do you really think liberals are out to get white people? Everyone was reacting to the initial reports. 

You can easily search twitter and find numerous early reports of the police saying "3 white males".

I think you jumped the gun here, how about 1 non-white guy and a woman.

Liberals are out to ban guns and they believe the more crimes that are committed or blamed on white people the better their chances are of getting legislation passed.

No one cares about the black on black crime or black on white crime that happens in inner cities, not even your liberal media bothers to expend the resources to cover those stories anymore. Instead the "hot stories" are police brutality and gun related murders committed by white people.

It's unfair to criticize someone for something that was being reported at the time.

If that's what happened in all of this.
