Because they’d rather think “zebra” when they hear hoofbeats, lest they be thought of as racist

Wait- do you mean he didn’t shoot up this nightclub because he was gay???

Because if it was terrorism there’s a 99% chance it was a Muslim.

Because it is not Terrorism, OK? Just because.

Anyone who shoots his way into a dance club, murders dozens of people and causes terror among the victims is indeed a terrorist regardless of any political meaning.

Yeah, I’m kind of alarmed by the way this article is written and I’m honestly confused about the point being made. If he was in a Santa suit and he was Christian, he could still be a terrorist. I don’t...get it.

Some people are likely going to argue that the shooter was gay and driven to kill due to his closeted homosexuality, rather than his religion or political ideology. Others will argue that the issue was the shooter’s maleness, the size of his penis, or his hatred of minorities.

The writers here are often slow to recognize these kind of attacks as terrorism. They probably think it is more likely a stunt for the Turkish opening of Bad Santa 2 rather than Islamic terror.

Why does the fact he may have been wearing a Santa Claus outfit imply it’s not terrorism? I’m confused.

You must be living inside my brain because you just perfectly articulated every single thing I want to say about this. Thanks LJ.

She does not need to to be an asshole  about it though. I’m sorry she is doing this to you. Your commentary is always wonderful.

So one of your writers can screencap and openly mock a commenter that didn’t even attack her personally but you guys are deleting every single comment that disagrees with you? OK.

True, maybe we should have gone with an Asian Jackie O.
