Do not get me wrong in this matter. I'm all for encouraging peaceful conflict resolution. I promote non-violence all the time. You could even say I've stopped crime before it started. Just like Megan Barry, the mayor of Nashville, said her administration and the Metro Nashville PD are doing.
“My administration, especially the Metro Nashville Police Department, will continue to work with community members to stop crime before it starts, encourage peaceful conflict resolution, and promote non-violence,” Mayor Barry said to ABC News.
What does Barry know about this man's motives for his attack that it would cause her to make such a statement at this time? I ask because, according to The Tennessean, nobody knows his motives. (If you click on the paper's link, they have a great photo essay you'll enjoy.)
I also wonder how anybody could have identified this fellow beforehand in order to deploy those peaceful resolutions to his conflict. What I do know — and you know it, too — is that no amount of mediation will stop anybody intent upon doing evil.
What I'm finding interesting is that the FBI has opened up a civil rights investigation. I see the headlines about it everywhere, but as of this writing I cannot find any information as to why such an investigation has been started.
It could very well be just one of those things they do in all mass shootings and I've simply never seen it reported before. Maybe they do it for the same reason they bring out the bomb squad: Just in case there is a secondary planned event. You know, cover their bases for the safety of everybody.
My guess?
My guess is there will be no civil rights investigation for long because this is probably a terror event by a radicalized Muslim, though it may never be reported as such by #CrunkNewsNetwork or other MSM outlets. Here is why I think that:
 |
| Shooter is Sudanese immigrant. Not sure of his legal status. |
The Sudan has been expelling troublemakers of the Sudanese branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, which originated in Egypt.
It is not too much of a stretch of the imagination to think this young man could be a radicalized member of the Muslim Brotherhood and who probably had contacts with the U.S.-based chapters of that organization.
The Muslim Brotherhood is on the march around the globe. At first, their march was one of successful conquest and domination. But as we've seen reported in the last year or so, folks are getting tired of their crap and are putting the beat down on them, running them out of town.
Just like what is happening in the Sudan. So, not happy about being expelled from Sudan, the leaders of the Brotherhood want to put fear into the Sudanese government, so they find a Sudanese man who is easily manipulated. They work on him until he believes it makes perfect sense to shoot people and where better to do it than a church that does not believe like him or his friends. This is a tried-and-true method of manufacturing a terror event or an assassination.
• Find a fellow who is mad at the world.
• Twist his thinking.
• Point him to the target.
• Make a phone call to politicians and say "'النملة المقبلو، شكيقون", which when translated means, "Yer next, bro."
• Sit in safety, enjoy the fruits of your labors, and wait for capitulation.
Easy victory? Yeah...nope.
See, that's probably why the terrorists chose a church with many ethnicities and races in what they superficially see as a party town full of music, sports, and universities full of partying students. They see the FBI start civil rights investigations. They read politicians statements and they believe conquest and domination and capitulation will come quick and come easy.
But terrorist are wrong in that thinking.
Just ask 22-year-old Robert Engle, a young man who tackled the gunman, got pistol-whipped, but managed to escape and run out to his car for his gun, then came back and held him at gunpoint until the police arrived.
