The Los Angeles Times reported that a Twitter account bearing the name "Shariah is Light" posted a message with the hashtag "texasattack" at 6:35 p.m. Central Time. The account featured an image of Anwar Awlaki, an American-born cleric killed in 2011 by a drone strike in Yemen.
Moments later, authorities say two men pulled up in a car to the Curtis Culwell Center in the Dallas suburb of Garland, Texas and opened fire. A school security guard was injured in the ankle before police officers shot and killed both suspects.

How would a Jewish initiated "Let's derogatorily draw Jesus"hate rally"exhibit" go down in the heart of Texas?
Didn't Borat have them cheering his "kill the Jews" speech?
These are legitimate questions, I'm just wondering.

What an imbecilic Event. What the hell is wrong with these people. Art, no. Stop stirring the sh•t.
A Garland police officer who was armed with only a handgun fatally shot the suspects, who were armed with assault rifles and body armor, outside of the Curtis Culwell Center.
“He did what he was trained to do. Under the fire he was under, he did a very good job and probably saved lives,” said Garland Police Department spokesman Joe Harn. “We think the men intended to get inside the event and this officer kept them from getting inside and doing more harm.”
Authorities are still investigating whether the attack was a terrorist attack, but “obviously they were there to shoot people,” Harn said during a press conference Monday morning.
The shooting at the Curtis Culwell Center happened just as Sunday's night's “Draw the Prophet” event was coming to an end.
The suspects drove up, got out of their car and without saying anything, opened fire on an unarmed Garland Independent School District security officer. A Garland police officer returned fire with his duty pistol, killing both suspects, Harn said.
So basically, one 60 year old, 38 year veteran traffic cop took down both of the attackers. Ain't that the $#!+?

We do not know who it is. It could be any number of Islamic groups. Until they do an investigation, time to keep the speculations down.
Here is the problem in a nut shell. If the suspects are US citizens, it will go bad for all of the Muslims in the area. If they are from another country, it will be considered a diplomatic incident. In either case this is not going to go well.

I can't help but wonder if you were as vocal about a crucifix in a jar of piss.

If you can not understand what it means to have freedoms in American, then you need to learn in order to understand what freedoms means.
Free speech is one of them, middle eastern countries run by Islamic extremist fundamentalist hates it.
