Blimey, the plot thickens maybe... Title: Re: US Soldiers Shootings Post by: flammableBen on Thursday, November 5, 2009, 22:59:12 Oooh. araby islam sort of name.
The US get a big school shooting every few years, army bases can't be much of a step. I wonder how the media coverage will play out. Title: Re: US Soldiers Shootings Post by: herthab on Friday, November 6, 2009, 08:02:51 The media, especially in the US, will use this as a stick to beat muslims with. Fox News will have a field day.
Originally, they said the, at the time, unknown shooter was killed, now he's in a stable condition and he's a muslim. Great one here for the conspiracy theorists amongst us.
