ISIS attacked and killed 49 and wounded 53. Ramadan ends 05July.

If they do that again, you can hang it up. This is what makes us look stupid and weak to everyone else. A dude slaughtered Americans, made a Facebook post and called 911 claiming ISIS. And with the bodies still on the floor, there were some of us already twisting it.
