MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell claims US military personnel pose greater threat than illegal immigrants
O'Donnell says country 'suffered more deadly terrorism at the hands of American-born citizens who are veterans of the United States military,' than illegal immigrants

MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell argued that Americans should look to their fellow citizens, specifically U.S. military personnel, and not illegal immigrants, as instigators of terrorism within the United States in a segment Thursday.

"The simple fact is, this country has suffered more deadly terrorism at the hands of American-born citizens who are veterans of the United States military than people who have crossed into this country at the southern border," O'Donnell said. "It is very clear from the evidence that if you want to worry about terrorism in this country, the United States Army is a much bigger problem than the southern border."

Early on New Year's Day, chaos broke out on Bourbon Street in New Orleans. The suspect, later identified as Shamsud-Din Jabbar, is accused of ramming a truck into crowds in the city's popular French Quarter, killing at least 15 and injuring dozens of others. Jabbar, who was armed with a Glock and a .308 rifle, was killed after opening fire on police.

  • Ah, the air is so much fresher here...
Does he really thing that classic, cherry-picked Marxist juxtaposing and equivocating really gives him intellectual credibility?

'Acts of terror', maybe, because they have the training and they are experiencing difficulty re-adjusting to civilian life after being discharged.

But illegal immigrants probably commit more everyday violent criminal acts such as murder, rape, carjacking, home invasion, drug trafficking, human trafficking, DUI, assault, battery, armed robbery, etc., than US veterans.  So, illegal immigrants probably have the higher overall body count.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

If he's referring to flag officers like Mark Milley, he may have a point.  If not, he has insulted every person who has ever worn the uniforms of America, and I resent it profoundly!! 9999hair out0000

Lawrence O'Donnell's own brother can't stand him.

I would posit that practically all the crimes on your list induce "terror"...DUI in the instance of a victim watching the oncoming drunk.
"Terror" is relative, and this clown seems to believe it only has one definition.
Throwing our allegiances to political parties in the long run gave away our liberty.
