Opinion from the fingers of Chuq

Garland, Texas was the scene of the newest terrorist attack in the US……the media is doing what it always does……speculating and misleading…..and will give the purveyors of hate a national stage from which to preach and the hate group that set up the cartoon fest has been validated….and now word has come to light that it was an ISIS operation……

Personally I think it has little do actually do with ISIS….it was lone wolves and terrorists wannabes…..but I am not alone in my disbelief of this being an ISIS operation…….

While ISIS sought to claim credit for the weekend attack on a cartoon contest in Garland, Texas, officials say this is almost certainly false, and that the attackers were probably lone wolves attacking on their own.

Homeland Security Chair Rep. Michael McCaul (R – TX) said the evidence pointed toward the attack not being directed by ISIS, “but rather inspired by them,” calling it a “textbook case of what we’re most concerned about.”

For decades so-called terrorists have been claiming responsibility for attacks that had little to do with them…….it is a propaganda tool….it is that simple.

To me these guys were wannabes because that showed NO training at all…..I mean the only other person hurt in the attack was a security officer who was shot in the ankle (someone needs to explain how that happened……I am sure it will be an interesting tale)…….

This was a lone wolf operation from start to finish carried out by amateurs…..to speculate that this is somehow a coordinated attack is misinformation and disingenuous…..

Americans are so afraid of the words “Muslim” and “Islam” that they will believe any scenario that feeds that fear.  But what this story will do is feed the fears and give more clout to the hate mongers that get rich off that fear.
