CPT11A sends us a link to Politico<\/a> which drags out the discredited DHS report from 2009 that warned of crazed veterans creating terrorism. Actually, I kind of expected this after the murderers in Dallas and Baton Rouge turned out to be veterans. Everyone seems willing to accept any excuse besides the radical Black Lives Matter movement. The NRA, and now this Daryl Johnson who copy and pasted his report to disgraced DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano from the pages of Southern Poverty Law Center’s hate Watch columns wants to blame conservatives for these two shootings.<\/p>\n

The events in Dallas and Baton Rouge that left eight police officers dead and ten wounded have rekindled the frustration felt by Johnson and others involved in the study. Both shooters, XXX and XXX, were former veterans who had served in Iraq or Afghanistan. They were also members of radical groups like the New Black Panther Party and an obscure group called the Moorish sovereign citizen movement, respectively. According to current and former counterterrorism experts from various federal agencies, both acts of violence fell squarely within the purview of the DHS branch, which studied extremism across the political spectrum.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Both murderers wanted to kill white cops, that had nothing to do with their military service, one was a carpenter and the other was a data processor. Everything they did after their service led them down to their ultimate demise, nothing they did during their service had anything to do with it. <\/p>\n

This Johnson fellow has been trying to revive his report and will use any opportunity.<\/p>\n

Though the numbers of non-military shooters in the country dwarf those of returned veterans, some of the most high-profile and deadliest shootings in recent years have been carried out by ex-military. These include the Umpqua College shooting in Oregon in 2015; the Navy Yard shooting in 2013; the Wisconsin Sikh Temple shooting in 2014; and the Fort Hood massacre in 2009.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Nice list, except that none of those shooters had any deployments and that was the main part of the DHS report – that thousands of veterans were returning from war and eager to smoke civilians with their military training.<\/p>\n

But after the DHS report appeared in April 2009, conservative groups swiftly mobilized.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And there’s the rub – it was Conservatives’ fault that these shooting happened.<\/p>\n

\u201cIs there some kind of agency or working group focusing on tracking returning military veterans? Not that I know of, not at all,\u201d says Mark Potok, a senior analyst at the Southern Poverty Law Center. \u201cAnd I think probably if somebody tried to do that it would be politically explosive.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cVery many veterans are very vulnerable in a lot of ways,\u201d he adds. \u201cI think there\u2019s a real risk.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What agency is tracking Mark Potok? The Family Research Council shooting<\/a> can be laid squarely at his feet.<\/p>\n

Like I said, the Left and the media are searching for stuff to blame except that which is really the culprit. The new American culture of hatred. Veterans are the cure not the cause.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
