Two suspects were shot and killed by police in Garland, TX. at what is being coined an "anti Muslim" event.

This may have been an attempt to imitate the Charlie Hebdo shootings in France by some "outraged" zealots (who forgot they were in the USA).

Don't mess with Texas:

Geert Wilders was hosting. http://www.cnn.com/2015/05/03/us/mohamme...-shooting/

Lol, Texas DPS trooper gets suspended for taking a selfie with Snoop Dogg but SWAT members get the okay to take a pic with Geert.

Scrolling through the WFAA comments. Funny how the people complaining about "hate speech" don't complain much about the drive-by shooting.

[CactusCat589]

Wonderful. Glad they didn't kill anyone and got what they deserved in turn.

[Saweeep]

Just seen the pictures of the "security". They had their own little Platoon guarding that conference!

Who the fuck would think that place was a good idea to attack?

Nice idea though to smoke out some home grownies.

Guaranteed, whoever was organizing this event was certainly a little excited by the prospect of someone with ill intent showing up and definitely very pleased with themselves right now.

I wasn't going to comment in this thread...but that's a pretty sick thing to say.

I don't think that's true at all. I don't think the Charlie Hebdo cartoonists were excited to be gunned down.

It's freaking Texas. Of course everyone's going to be armed. And why would anyone think that something would happen?

Muslims in America are pretty peaceful. I went to school with some. The ones I went to school with certainly wouldn't attack this event or kill anybody for simply their speech for that matter.

The event was to draw attention to the fact that in America, we have individual freedoms. Jesus is mocked relentlessly in our media, yet, no one kills the mockers. THIS IS A GOOD THING.

The Dutch politician, has constant threats on his life, and is constantly demonized for his beliefs regarding the Islamization of Europe. He speaks out against a religion that has members that want to kill him, and unlike the Christian American boogeyman of the left, will actually follow through with their threats.

And, two men come to kill him, for his speech, but it was all his masterplan in order to make them look bad, and now the organizers are laughing in glee in their evil lair. Right Suits?

Many places in Texas prohibit possession of a gun, even Walmarts.

Those insurance premiums.....

Dear friends,

Thank you all for being here. It's great to be in Texas, the Lone Star State. The one star in the Texan flag represents all the free Western world needs today: defiance, pride and independence.

It is no coincidence that we are in Garland, Texas, tonight. It is here that, three months ago, shortly after the Charlie Hebdo massacre, Islamic activists convened to demand that free speech be curtailed. They want to prohibit cartoons, books and films which they find insulting.

Our answer is clear:
Don't mess with Texas!
Don't mess with the free West!
Don't mess with our freedom of speech!

[Saweeep]

USA! USA! USA!



Interestingly, the UK media headlines are describing this as an "Anti-Muslim" conference, not a "Free Speech" conference.

Sadly, the Hebdo attack, for self preservation reasons, has had exactly the effect intended here I believe.

Daily mail wrote,

Extreme 'free speech' group refused to cancel provocative 'Muhammad Art Exhibit' despite protests - and told the world they 'know the risks'


When did free speech become extreme to these people.

I hope this was just poor wording on your part, and not some silly implication.

So they "baited" these poor terrorists into attacking, right...
How barbaric?

[Flying Donkey]

Good shooting.

The Satanist Church needs to troll Texans now, and see how tolerant they would be of a Jesus Christ cartoon exhibit. Preferably one with the Stations of the Cross reworked to show Jesus being sodomized and tortured by demons.

I am betting the result would be vandalism and a shooting by Christian extremists.

I apologize if this statement seemed brash or sick.

I certainly would never condone trolling for attacks from any religious community.

I could attempt to explain my comments, but perhaps posting at all was a mistake based on faulty assumptions on my part, so I won't add drama to an already volatile thread topic.

If anyone is genuinely curious about my thought on the matter, feel free to PM me, but given that two members have already expressed concern about my original post, I don't want to add more fuel to the fire within the thread discussion.

I'll just say that I've read your posts carefully and taken them into serious consideration.

Seems like Texas would be at the bottom of the list of States to pull this shit. People there don't fuck around.

RIP Trey Parker. RIP Matt Stone. I miss them so much.

[TheWastelander]

We should all be glad that innocent people weren't killed and that two psychopaths were rightly put out of their misery. If they were willing to attack people over this they were probably up to some other heinous shit as well.

It is proof, at least to me, that you don't really have freedom of speech in the real world unless you have the means to defend yourself (or have people ready and willing to defend you) from those who would violently censor you.

European news outlets are dropping the ball, as one can expect. This is from Spiegel (conservative-leaning in Germany)

There is still some hope. Always liked Texas compared to the rest. NYS has to be the WORST. If they tried this event in NY it would be protested to the fullest... The only plus side is the the bombers would probably have got some of the people trying to kill free speech. I like the comment above that mentions how media can mock any religious figurehead except the Islamic ones. Freedom of Speech was protected here. Nothing more, nothing less. And for that I say:

Not likely.

The US is a country where you can find Klu Klux Klan rallies, Black Israelite street preachers, the Westboro Baptist Church funeral picketings... All prettymuch free of violence.

No, Christians in the US are used to having their religion mocked. They don't like it but they deal with it without violence.

Same here.

It's something that people from less developed parts of the World simply can't get their heads around.
