American Journalist Beheaded by ISIS

[Ben]

I haven't seen this on the MSM yet, but it appears to be genuine:

Seems to be just now hitting MSM sources

I try to stay rational, maintain perspective, and keep the things in context but my "Turn the whole damn place into a parking lot" -o-meter twitches a little harder with each passing day.

Sorry Brad, you'll have to stew on that a while longer. The death in Ferguson is of much higher value, and this beheading will be forgotten soon enough. If only this journalist would have had the courtesy to die another day, so that he wouldn't be news competition, the nation might be as outraged over someone slowly having his head removed from his body as they are about a shooting death in Missouri.

I don't know.They threatened to murder another journalist if Obama didn't respond.

Anyone know the stats on how many kidnapped journalists might be on-deck?

Don't we have CIA assassins anymore?   Why the hell aren't we using them? (plausibly deniably, of course)  ISIS leaders should be dying mysteriously right and left, and everyone knows we did it but can't prove anything.

Get creative with it an make it look like a scene from one of those Final Destination movies.

Maybe the CIA doesn't like the MSM, either.

My meter has been steadily going from "not our problem" towards "Kill the *expletive deleted*ers. Kill them all. Kill them again just for the fun of it."

Headlines like this do not make it move any slower.

Mine too, man. I have to remind myself that if we did, we'd have our hands tied, leave again, and it  would flare up again as soon as we left

[Hawkmoon]

And some people wonder why we "gun nuts" want to keep our AR-15s and hunting "sniper" rifles.

Call me callous, but if journalists were looking out for their own, they'd be reporting exactly what ISIS and ISIL have been up to, in graphic detail, with pictures and putting it on the 6 oclock national news for every American to see, what groups armed by our own state department are up to. We're supposed to be taken aback when a sainted member of the press is killed- woop-de-*expletive deleted*ing-doo.
 I saw pictures coming out of syria last week of children being murdered, including a headless body of what looked like a 6-7 year old girl.
That might have destroyed a large chunk of what I had in me for my faith in humanity.

Mine has been pegged already.

ISIS leaders are in the field, surrounded by their own, waging war against everyone around them.  This ain't a movie.

So I got this email the other day titled: Headlines from 2059

One of them was: Iran still closed off; physicists estimate it will take at least 10 more years before radioactivity decreases to safe levels

Except Iran opposes ISIS... Not exactly congruent.

Few "journalists" are actually on our side. (And by "our side" I mean the USA specifically and western civilization generally.)

Still funny though

If we just air drop a few dozen in, can we pre-number them?

[wmenorr67]

LOL

Very nice.

Well played, sir.

Exactly why I don't get all indignant about one of them getting their head chopped off.

Do we still use napalm? Maybe make some up with lard...

[Scout26]

Yeah, I'm getting to the point where I think that genocide might be the only solution to the Mid-East problem.     

[Fitz]

Step 1, let them have their caliphate

Step 2, leaflet the *expletive deleted*it out of the country, telling all non-fuckheads to get out.

Step 3, nuke nuke nuke nuke the crap out of the new caliphate

[wmenorr67]

Now it has come out the Obama grew a set and authorized a rescue attempt.
