Chattanooga aftermath:

Terrorist mollycoddled but no flags lowered to half-staff



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 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. But on the fifth day after tragic, mind-numbing Chattanooga events, we are hearing all about Abdulazeez’s drug problems; how three months before the shooting, Abdulazeez was arrested on April 20 -- a day celebrated annually by marijuana users -- and charged with drunk driving. The arresting officer noted a smell of marijuana in the car. (DailyMail, July 20, 2015) Too bad the evil of radical Islam can’t be detected by smell. Today marks the fifth straight day that President Barack Obama has not ordered the lowering of the U.S. flag to half-staff at the White House and federal properties as a sign of respect and mourning for the five killed. 
As Gateway Pundit so aptly reminds us: “In contrast it was only a matter of hours after the Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage last month before Obama bathed the White House in the rainbow hues of the LGBTQ movement.” Did Obama overlook ordering the lowering of the U.S. flag to half-staff because he was too busy watching the play ‘Hamilton’ in New York with his two daughters, or was he too busy planning his next golf outing? It seems that the flags were not lowered to half-mast honouring the memories of the lives of four US Marines and a Navy sailor because America is now a country where radical Islamist terrorists who go on murdering rampages get more sympathy than the loved ones of the slain left behind in unimaginable heartbreaking grief. God help you, America UPDATE: By Ben Kamisar (The Hill) - 07/21/15 12:40 PM EDT Obama lowers White House flag President Obama has ordered flags at the White House and other public buildings to fly at half-staff after mounting criticism over the delay in honoring five armed forces members killed last week by a gunman.
