Suggesting the Bourbon Street slaughter was terror is "idle speculation"

"No president or president-to-be should belch idle speculation"

We will learn plenty about Jabbar in the days to come. The FBI said he had an ISIS flag and was wearing military gear when he drove a truck into a crowd of New Year’s Eve revelers in New Orleans’ French Quarter. At least 14 people were killed and 30 injured.

No president or president-to-be should belch idle speculation in the wake of such an attack. The public and the victims' families should see an American leader expressing sympathy, sharing facts as they’re known and clearly stating a commitment to our safety and security.

This coming from a media that along with our federal law enforcement try to turn every major crime into something having to do with White supremacy or right wing terrorism. These are the same people who came up with terms like white-Hispanic or ideas like black people can also be white supremacists to help explain things when certain crimes do not fit the profile.

But if there is something that suggests Islamic terrorism, domestic left wing terrorism, or god forbid another mass shooting from some transexual hyped up on hormones, we are supposed to play everything close to the vest, not make any assumptions, and basically come to no conclusions, at least not publicly. If there is not an obvious anti-gun angle or white supremacy angle, we should sort of lock it away and forget about it.

Moreover, the same people who mock everyone for expressing sympathy through thoughts and prayers are suggesting that when there is a mass killing that doesn't fit their narrative (where they can attack guns, attack right wing groups, or scream about White supremacy) that we of course should be offering... well sympathy (eg: thoughts and prayers) and nothing else. Apparently we should not be offering sympathy in some cases, while we should only be offering sympathy in other cases.

Hmmm... and just when you thought you couldn't hate the media enough.
