Chattanooga Gunman Mohammod Youssuf Abdulazeez: ‘Life Is Short and Bitter’
By RICHARD FAUSSET


A booking photo, taken in April and released by the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office in Tennessee, shows a man identified as Mohammod Youssuf Abdulazeez

HIXSON, Tenn. — He played whiffle ball in a suburban neighborhood of swim meets and gently sloping lawns. He was a young man who was polite, who sometimes drove too fast, who was arrested on a drunken-driving charge. He was a hardened mixed-martial arts fighter who kept a blog where he mused about submitting to Allah.

And on Thursday, the authorities say that Mohammod Youssuf Abdulazeez, 24, killed four Marines and wounded at least three other people. He himself died in what the United States attorney here called a potential act of “domestic terrorism.”

According to a federal official, Mr. Abdulazeez was a Kuwaiti-born Jordanian who became a naturalized United States citizen. According to The Chattanooga Times Free Press, he graduated from Red Bank High School, whose quotation on his graduation yearbook page was: “My name causes national security alerts. What does yours do?”

His neighbors here in Hixson, the suburb of Chattanooga where he grew up, said that he seemed to have been an all-American boy, handsome and polite, normally in a T-shirt and jean

Look back fourteen years to the World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks.

If THAT wasn't enough to "wake these lazy bastards up and get them to take back their country", do you think a nuke or two is going to do it?

That's posed as a serious question.

My off-the-wall prediction:
If tomorrow isis or Iran somehow slipped a nuclear bomb into Chicago and set it off, destroying the city, obama would go on tv and tell Americans that we had so offended the islamic world that it was time to "make peace" and in so doing he would offer to convert the country to islam as a gesture of friendship...

Didn't Ayn Rand write a book about doing just that?  ;)

Aside:
I daresay that even in the wake of "everything happening" that you wrote above, it may STILL not be "enough" for the left. They NEVER give up, until they stop breathing. Perhaps in the previous sentence lies the solution.

All we have to do is to look at Greece right now. The socialists "have brought" exactly what socialism "brings". Do they seem to have much intent of abandoning it thusly?

Oh, the hard times have yet to hit Greece. Right now the Greeks think someone else's money will save them. Eventually, Greece will be left to their own devices. The many YEARS of real hard times will change the makeup of the public. Hyperinflation, shortages, disease, death, yeah, that will change some outlooks.

I blame the communist left (i.e. those America-hating DEMOCRATS) for helping to create an environment of self-hate. So much so that young American Muslims feel justified in becoming radicalized and taking up arms against our wonderful country.

And before he finished, Boehner and McConnell would have a joint press conference about making some kind of bipartisan deal.

Murdered Marine Was Iraq War Veteran, Purple Heart Recipient
Friday, July 17, 2015 09:24 AM

By: Melanie Batley


One of the four U.S. Marines shot dead in Tennessee by an Islamic State-inspired gunman has been identified as an Iraq War veteran and Purple Heart recipient from Massachusetts, Fox News reported Friday.

Forty-year-old Gunnery Sgt. Thomas Sullivan was among those killed Thursday by Mohammad Youssef Abdulazeez, a 24-year-old Muslim from Chattanooga, who attacked a military recruitment center before traveling to a Naval training facility where he killed the unarmed Marines.

Sullivan fought in the 2005 Battle of Abu Ghraib, Iraq, serving in India Battery, 3rd Battalion, 12th Marines, according to Fox News. He earned a Purple Heart and a Combat Action medal in that fight.

"For those who have not heard yet, one of the four Marines murdered today was one of our own — Thomas Sullivan. Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers. Semper Fidelis Zimminite!" says in a post on the Facebook page of India Battery, 3rd Battalion, 12th Marines, according to the New York Post.

There has also been an outpouring of tributes on the Facebook page of the bar and restaurant owned by one of Sullivan's two siblings.

"He was our hero and he will never be forgotten," one post said, according to Fox News. "Please keep his family & friends in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you Tommy for protecting us."

"There's no Marine you would want that was better in combat than him," Sullivan's friend, Josh Parnell of Chicago, told Oak Lawn Patch.

U.S. and Massachusetts flags will be flown at half-staff at all state buildings and military compounds across the state in honor of Sullivan and the other victims of the attacks, Fox News reported.

You know for several years I've been looking at Peoples World, the online publication of the Communist Party USA to keep up with their take on things.  Until the past 5 or 6 years, they were so far out of commonplace thinking here in the US that they were almost laughable.  Today, much of their blather seems to correlate a lot with MSM stories and the ever-changing culture here.  Convince everyone how bad this Country is with respect to blacks, Muslims, women, the poor, and labor, and you bring about what's happening today.  And of course their hero of the day now is Sanders.

I completely agree, ac.

The communist left has also created such a rabid environment for millenials, that they 'tolerate' hatred, and many times share the  hatred for America that drives Islamic zealots to these acts of violence.

I'm beginning to come around to that point of view. I'm beginning to consider that it may all have to fall apart under socialism before we can begin to restore our proud American heritage of constitutional government.

So, to sum it up, Greeks R Us.
