Another Isolated Incident?

What's going on? Earlier this month, I wrote about the Palestinian immigrant in St. Louis who was apprehended for trying to buy explosives and now, we have a Bosnian immigrant killed while carrying out mass homicide at a Utah mall.

What kind of screening are we doing if these are the kind of immigrants we're allowing in and worse yet, what about those who don't even get screened because the government refuses to do its job?

This latest candidate for Most Violent Immigrant of the Year, is gunman, Sulejman Talovic, an 18-year-old Bosnian, who according to Salt Lake City Police Chief Chris Burbank, "was well-prepared." Sulejman was armed with two guns and had a backpack filled with ammunition.

It will be interesting to hear the spin by law enforcement, government officials and the media as they trip all over themselves trying to portray this event as an isolated act of violence by a deranged individual. It may be, but one must wonder about patterns and recurring themes and speculate as to why the spinmeisters protest so much.
