Meet the new tousle-haired terrorist, same as the old tousle-haired terrorist.
It had to happen, right? Can the cover of Rolling Stone be far behind
for Mohammod Youssuf
Abdulazeez, the latest pot-smoking foreign-born Muslim terrorist to murder Americans in cold blood?
“This guy actually
reminds me of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev,” chirped CNN anchor Carol Costello. “Good-looking guy. Everybody liked him. He was popular in high school. Very well-educated. Both of them were wrestlers, and then something happened.”
Something happened? Somebody call Inspector Clouseau. These people are giving Bob Seger a run for his money, working on mysteries without any clues. They leave no stone unturned
except the one the motive is hiding under.
Right on schedule, the dying
PC broadsheets are out with their sob stories about the bloodthirsty Kuwaiti-born killer.
New York Times headline: “In Chattanooga, a Young Man in a Downward Spiral.”
He was, according to the Times, “a deeply troubled young man,” from what The Washington Post and CNN both describe as a “troubled home,” inhabited by what the Chattanooga and Nashville
papers call a “troubled family.”
He smoked pot, a lot of pot. Marijuana is a miracle drug,
according to the mainstream media, except when all these terrorists seem to be smoking it before they start killing Americans. Then it was the weed that caused the mass killings, not the religion of peace.
Next, cue the “prescription pain-killers.” When Rush Limbaugh and Brett Favre get hooked, they’re “junkies.”
But if you’re an Arab who murders U.S. servicemen in cold blood, obviously opioid addiction is not a character flaw, it’s a disease. What caused Mohammod’s terror spree was that “limits on the family’s
insurance coverage thwarted
their plan to have him go into a rehab.” That was in the Times, seconded by an Associated Press story about how
“a health insurer refused to
approve the expense.”
So the five dead military aren’t victims of Islamic terrorism, they’re victims of “bad-apple insurance.” Which I thought Obamacare had
ended, but never mind.
Mohammod got a job at a nuclear power plant, but he failed what The Washington Post calls a “background check.” If they were writing about a cracker killer, they’d call it a drug test, which it was. But again — for purposes of bestowing victimhood, a failed drug test is right up there with unemployed ex-cons losing out on jobs just because they once shot somebody. Injustice!
One of the Post’s sources was another Muslim who likewise was “struggling with how to balance his Muslim faith with the more secular demands of his work, which included serving bacon to customers.”
Oh the horror! Obviously, we must now ban bacon. It’s hate food!
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: “Mr. Abdulazeez was short of money.” This is another recurring theme in Muslim terrorist hagiography.
The media can’t make Mohammod into a bitter clinger. And they find that … troubling.
