What I find interesting is that this is another child of immigrants. I haven't done a few review of the past terrorist acts. But I think that may be a pattern.

Taking bets on whether & when the FC(n) or ideological compadres will 1st mention this morning's massacre of about 20 people at a gay bar by a person said to be Afghani-American & (radical) Muslim. Options range from "any minute now" to "when hell freezes over".

Re Thunderf00t, Steve Shives, & Reason Rally I know Tf00t was relying on the feed, which had major issues including no audio later in the day, but AFAICT he also cherry-picked - showed clips of the pablum - showing the chaff not the wheat. The SJW approval (Shives, etc) AFAICT could only be from the...

Maryam Namazie's speech at Reason Rally was one of the best - top 5, IMO.
