Steyn wonders if Orlando shooter "gets the same protective insulation" that MSM provided to Ft. Hood shooter

What Steyn means is that the MSM are not up in arms denouncing Islam by focusing on the fact that the shooter was Muslim and that he probably was angry at America...despite the fact that he served in the U.S. military for years.

While I think it is perfectly legitimate to explore whether this individual had become a radical Islamist, it is dangerous to throw accusations around the way the right wing would like to, because it unnecessarily inflames the nut jobs.

The righties are just trying to score points. The Orlando shooter is name Rodrigez so expect the "seal the borders" rant in 3,2,1..

I'm defending Hasan, whatever the spelling is, by saying that its just desserts to the US Army collectively, not the unfortunate victims. Its just sadly ironic and amazing that it is not an avg. grunt that did this; when the US Army feels "National Security" and Army Discipline require us to compel volunteers to do things against their conscience. If the Army was confident in its missions being valid, it would trust enough Americans to volunteer and let those with second thoughts get out. The Army and us, as a nation instead try to manipulate and compel people into missions they don't believe in. Not to mention the great psychiatric service from providers choosing Army money over ethics. Very sad for the victims' families but on a sinking ship the rats will bit if you block them from getting off. A bit different than Virginia Tech's tragedy, the only common thread being our rich nation saying we can afford our wars but can't afford a better (mental) healthcare system, which may occasionally have to hold us when we see violence as the answer.

Especially wounded crazed UNCONSCIOUS mass murderers. From what I understand he was shot four times . . . while he's in stable condition, he still might not survive.
