"Extreme anti-American views" and he's in an American military program. May have some friends infected, too...

Yep, the contagion did spread, 1-2 of the shooter's Saudi buddies actually filmed the attack...

Ok, so now they're saying the Saudi who took the video did so co-incidentally. I guess that's the best-case scenario...

The FBI now "Presumes" the attack was one of terror. As we know from the impeachment hearings, a presumption doesn't count...

Rod, I wonder if this might possibly be considered a "hate crime" as well, as if that designation makes it somehow worse than if he randomly murders a few people?

Darian, that would be a presumption on your part too. Maybe he was just venting. So what if he had extreme anti-American views. So do a lot of people in the middle east. And some of them have sensitive feelings with strong religious beliefs. That doesn't make them guilty of hate crimes. Maybe the shooter just went a little funny in the head and then he did what he did. If you look at the impeachment hearings wherein Sondland said there was a quid pro quo but it was pointed out by an observant Republican that the Ambassador merely presumed Trump and the three Amigos were all in on it together like they were thick as thieves or something. What would an Ambassador know about it, anyway? He was just presuming...

Rod, I was being a bit sarcastic. The idea of a "hate crime" is something dreamed by **** on the Left; the idea that killing a black person because one dislikes blacks is somehow worse than premeditated murder for other reasons.

Darian, I was being a bit more sarcastic too. The idea that the FBI can't "presume" this wasn't a terrorist attack because of the lack of direct evidence(ie the bastard didn't scream aku akbar or allegiance to ISIS) but instead relied on his anti-American rantings and drawing a parallel with the impeachment hearings wherein the Ambassador presumes there's a quid pro quo rather than thinking Trump and the three Amigos were getting it together in the Ukraine for a few beers instead...

Must really bother you that you can't even have a conversation about other news without relating it to impeachment.  Take some TDS pills, they might help!  wink

Sondland is the one that admitted his conclusions where based on a presumption and not any direct evidence he knew of....The whole damn thing is based on "presumptions" LOL

Ah, they just grounded all of the Saudi trainee pilots. How's that for being presumptuous? It's not as if a Saudi might fly a plane into a building or something. 
Too bad for Trump they didn't ground Rudy and the three amigos but it's a little late for that...
