(135,425 posts)That crazy guy was just that--CRAZY. He was a BRITISH BORN (repeat, BRITISH BORN) person of Nigerian heritage, who converted to Islam and started following a whacky Imam. Pity he hadn't focused on something else, like cricket or football or the obsessive collecting of garden gnomes.
I am no Bill Frist, but I'd be shocked if the guy didn't wind up with a 'paranoid schizophrenic' diagnosis, for starters. That fellah was just not right.
So, again.... I really don't understand Moore's "other countries" babble. I mean, really--WTF?? The man was British. He was British born, in frigging LAMBETH, London. Is Michael Moore saying that, well, he's from "other countries" and coming to kill the 'special relationship' version of "us" because his PARENTS were from another country? Sort of like Barack Obama is said by some wingnuts to be from 'another country' because his father was from Kenya?
I'm smelling a bit of ....er..... what's the word? Xenophobia? BIAS? or.... gee.... Racism?? up in here with Mister Moore...just a bit? I wonder if that guy with the knives had been a white fellah with a shaved ginger head, blue eyes, and gin blossom cheeks, looking like any old lager lout, with the EXACT SAME ACCENT.... that MM would have ranted on about "others?" And us killing people "over there?"
Where's "over there?" The East End, and not Knightsbridge?
Didn't MM listen to him? It was clear the guy was UK born and raised. He sounded like any neighborhood jerk, fachrissake. Eye fer an eye, and a toof fer a toof.., he said. Close your eyes, and you'd swear it was Sacha Baron Cohen doing a full bore "Ali G" come to lecture you about some stupid horseshit.
He's as British as the BBC, and crazy as a fookin' loon.
Unless, of course, you can be born and raised in a country, and still be called an outsider because of your skin tone....? I thought that was a GOP thing....
Meh. Michael Moore. MAJOR fail, as the kids say...
