What is happening in Colorado is basically a "CHRISTIAN terrorist attack" But no one in the media

[diabeticman]

would DARE call this s terrorist attack.




I am just finding out about this and I hope for the best for all involved but we need to call this what it is.

[Ms. Yertle]

1. Isn't it actually

a bit early to determine what it is?

[uppityperson]

11. Yes, it's not clear who or what or why

But it's more fun to make assumptions, junmp to false conclusions rather than wait and see.

Speaking as a worker in and supporter of women's health care, I'll be plenty outraged if this is an attack on PP, not just using the space. And already angry at the facility being called "an abortion clinic,".

[PatrickforO]

2. No, in fact the talking head on MSNBC said the shooter might be holed up in an

'abortion clinic.'

So there you have it - the corporate spin!

[louis-t]

3. I've been saying it for hours.

It's an "active shooter" not a "right-wing terrorist" according to the media.

[malaise]

4. Actualy that Van whatever his name is on GEM$NBComcast said

the country thought there would be a terrorist attack on Thanksgiving - he'd never call this terrorism.
Expect the lone wolf bullshit.

[napkinz]

16. "lone wolf" ...

[malaise]

20. Yep

Just the truth

[yyes]

5. This might have been a bank robbery

[Rex]

7. No the shooter is hold up in the Planned Parenthood facility.

I know many want it to be not true, but this is looking like a Stormfront asshole that heard God talking to him.

[diabeticman]

8. If I am wrong I will eat my words but from reports I hear this man was targating this place.

[Rex]

10. I have no problem with being wrong, since when did that become a curse anyway?

It just doesn't look much like a bank robbery imo. We shall see.

[malaise]

18. You won't eat your words

You will be correct - fuck the corporate spin - listen to the folks on the ground - cops told them to hide and that PP was being attacked.

[spanone]

12. yea, they always put banks in planned parenthood offices...great thought

[MissDeeds]

14. There is a Chase bank adjacent to the PP

It has been shown several times with police vehicles nearby.

[darkangel218]

6. I wouldn't be surprised a bit if the shooter is a fundie.

They have gone mad lately.

[Rex]

9. I guess people forget a white guy walked into a black church and murdered everyone he could.

And I doubt the media will EVER label any of these attacks as RWing terrorists, that would make their paymasters angry. It goes against the master narrative that only swarthy looking people are terrorists. Their base must be kept asleep.

[darkangel218]

19. Of course they would never acknowledge that fundie shooters are "terrorists".

Like you said , it goes against their narrative.

[NRaleighLiberal]

13. Lately?

[darkangel218]

17. Good point.

[Lizzie Poppet]

15. And you KNOW this to be the case?

No, you don't, do you?

Speculation based on extremely minimal information helps no one.

[MisterP]

21. well, really what happened is that they reduce their religion to a bunch of empty clichés that serve

some narrow present-day political goal, are condemned by the staggering majority of clergy and believers, and shouldn't be treated as exemplar

so, yes
