      A man yelled anti-Muslim slurs and murdered two people. Reverse the killer/slur scenario and there would be *nothing else* on TV for days.https://twitter.com/Deanofcomedy/status/868438100489449472 …

      If a Muslim-extremist had yelled anti-Christian slurs and murdered two people, there would be "serious" people suggesting mass deportations.

      Murderers of one race/religion: mentally-disturbed loners. Ones on the other side: ideologically-motivated terrorists. Truth: both are both.

          can't we just stick to 'these people did the right thing' and not get into whether or not they're manly. Its sexist to engage.

          Do not know if they did the right thing or not but the notion that men are perceived as self-sacrificing utility is eating the democrats.
