Cascade Mall Update

There's a bit more news today about the man who shot and killed five people at the Cascade Mall in Washington.  Although the media originally reported that the shooter was Hispanic, we had learned when he was arrested that he was actually an immigrant from Turkey and a Moslem.  Even with that information, the media still said that he had no ties to terrorism.  Now, the shooters internet sites have been uncovered and they contain pictures of the leader of ISIS and the Ayatollah who rules in Iran.  We've now reached the point where even the idiots in the media have to admit that this was likely a terrorist attack.  I guess all that is missing is for the police to find a framed diploma on his bedroom wall certifying his graduation with a degree of Bachelor of Arts in Destruction (a BAD) from the as Baghdadi School of Terrorism Science. 

It's also worth noting for those people who are using the shooting to call for "common sense gun safety legislation" that the shooter was under a restraining order from a court that prohibited him from owning a gun.  So there you have it.  There was the equivalent of a law preventing the shooter from buying a gun.  It doesn't seem to have worked all that well.
