I know that I'm going to anger some of you with the following, but here goes....
We who are anti-shari'a are going to end up owning this murderer's carnage.
We who support the Second Amendment will also end up owning the murderer's carnage.
IT WON'T MATTER THAT HE'S AS FAR FROM US IDEOLOGICALLY AS THE OPPOSITE END OF THE UNIVERSE.We live in the world of perceptions -- not the world of realities.
This fellow's computer will be scrutinized to the nth degree.
Every site he ever visited will be investigated.
Every link on every site he ever visited will also be investigated.
As he expressed support of Geert Wilders, any and all of us who have uttered support of Wilders will also be investigated.
Get ready for the fallout. It's coming. That fallout will probably also include restricting what is said on the Internet.
Actually, for some time, I've been concerned that such an event would occur and tar us all.
Had this carnage occurred here in the United States, the fallout would suffocate us in short order.
After all, 84 children were slaughtered. That carnage shouldn't be ignored. The motivation behind that carnage shouldn't be ignored.
Midnight Rider adds:This is going to cut far deeper than AoW states although I know she believes what I am going to say.
It is not just the counter-jihad that is going to own this in the eyes of the MSM and others.
Any one on the right will. This monster attacked a
Socialist kids camp.
So if you are Tea Party they will be suspicious of you.
If you fly a Gadsden Flag they will be suspicious of you.
If you own a gun, belong to a gun club, have a license to carry, they will be suspicious of you.
If you criticize socialist policies and leanings they will be suspicious of you.
We will all be labeled right wing extremists. Militia.
Especially in light of the newest
DHS see something say something video. The Missouri report of a years or so ago.
No doubt this will reinvigorate the U.N. Small Arms Treaty debate as well.
They are going to point their fingers at Oslo and Utoya and Tuscon and say "See! This is what happens when you say socialism is bad. This is what your rhetoric hath wrought."
People like Tom Harkin are already calling us a cult fringe before this. They will only use this to their advantage. While crying their crocodile tears about the poor souls lost to a madman.
Which is the real tragedy.
We may have jumped the shark in attributing this to Islam (guilty!) but at the same time it was an Islamic group who initially took credit for it.
Will that be reported? Will they ask why anyone of that certain religion would WANT to own this? Be held responsible for this?
For those of us trying to do the right thing, to open people's eyes to the perils before us, from Islam and from a country slipping away from our grasp, from a government run amuck and totally disconnected from the people they represent our job just got exponentially harder.
Because of a madman who none of us would want posting on our sites, if we knew his true mind. A madman half a world away. A madman whose views no doubt mirrored those of groups
WE HERE HAVE CONDEMNED.But the truth is the responsibilty for this belongs to one person and one person alone.
But that won't matter to the MSM and the left.
The truth never does unless it fits their agenda.
