Terrorist Mollycoddled But No Flags Lowered to Half-Staff

by Judi McLeod

Why do major television networks continue to get away with mollycoddling murdering radical terrorists in the very wake of their evil carnage?

Within four days of the attack that claimed the lives of four US Marines and a Navy sailors slaughtered in the Chattanooga shooting spree, ABC is portraying poor Mohammod Abdulazeez—not as a radical Islamic terrorist—but as a “disturbed, suicidal young man using drugs, preparing for bankruptcy and facing an appearance in criminal court”.

While their loved ones are in tearful mourning, the mainstream media’s crying killer Abdulazeez a river and getting über maudlin with the violins.

Why is it that every time another Islamic terrorist strikes, the mainstream media cover them in victimhood and portray them as everything except what they truly are?

ABC television was reporting the low down from FBI agents who interviewed Abdulazeez’s parents.

In addition to having to face an appearance in criminal court, poor misunderstood Abdulazeez, was also “thousands of dollars in debt and considering filing for bankruptcy”.

How many of America’s young people are left in thousands of dollars in debt from interest-accruing student loans?  How many are depressed because there are no jobs for them even after graduating at the top of their class?

Poor misunderstood Abdulazeez “facing an appearance in criminal court”, also left behind a diary, which more than 30 FBI agents, who were to have arrived in Chattanooga today, will be browsing.

“Four days after the shooting, the FBI has not found any connection to overseas terrorist groups, but Mohammod Abdulazeez’s diary says that as far back as 2013, he wrote about having suicidal thoughts and “becoming a martyr” after losing his job due to his drug use, both prescription and non-prescription drugs, the family representative said.” (ABC News, July 20, 2015)

Family representatives will say just about anything to portray their own in the best light possible.  Seems that everyone other than the FBI, Barack Hussein Obama and some major television networks know that.

How’s this for family representatives saying just about anything to portray their own in the best possible light: “A seven-month trip to Jordan last year was an effort to “get him away from bad influences in the U.S.,” not part of a path to radicalization, the family told agents.”()

Much more to the point was the first question posted by commenter Brad Gurdlinger under the ABC sob story: Question: If it is so great in the middle east, then why are you still here?”

“Abdulazeez’s family released a statement Saturday saying that there are “no words to describe our shock, horror, and grief.” (USA Today, July 20, 2015)

There are no words either to even begin describing the “shock, horror and grief” suffered by the families of the t lives of four US Marines and a Navy sailor killed. Millions of strangers around the globe were also touched by the indelible horror of their slaughter.
