(961 posts)What's being said to you is only mildly ridiculous compared so many of the opinions being expressed by others, most of which should have never seen the light of day.
Really, just do it. It'd be "point and belittle the fucking goofy comments" laughable if it weren't for the fact that the things being said revolve around an event where people died.

FBI Statement on Shootings at Military Facilities in Chattanooga, Tennessee
Washington, D.C.
July 16, 2015
FBI National Press Office
The FBIs Knoxville Field Office, along with the Chattanooga Police Department and other law enforcement partners, are working jointly to investigate todays shootings at a military recruitment center and a reserve center in Chattanooga, Tennessee in which four individuals were killed and three injured. The shooter, Mohammod Youssuf Abdulazeez, 24, is also deceased. While it would be premature to speculate on the motives of the shooter at this time, we will conduct a thorough investigation of this tragedy and provide updates as they are available.

(154,021 posts)it will be terrorism. Mind you (looking over my shoulder for the itchy finger alerter), if this kid was white with a last name of oh Smith...the T word would never ever had been spoken.
Yes, I am that cynical anymore.
