They hate foreigners as much as any Trump supporter.

Second, the language they use "Islamic extremist" with a "suspected" tacked on there just to cover their asses, is inflammatory and may not reflect the situation in any realistic way.

And finally, the Dems need to link this incident strongly to gun control (which is entirely the problem) no matter who is wielding the fucking thing or the Trumpster is going to get a bump in the polls.

Prepare for Trump going ballistic over this. sufrommich Jun 2016 #1
