From what I have been reading, this just looks like another FBI created incident from start to finish, with the added inclusion of nutty Pam Geller and her rabid chosenite cartoon nonsense!
Ditto.
But we could check, whats the ISIS phone number again?
mobile.twitter.com...
Does this match?
Hey look... they only have 2 followers.. wonder what condition those followers are in?

So let me get this straight. ISIS is taking credit for an inept attack where the attackers were killed during an unsuccessful rampage. Then maybe they are the JV team Obama referred to.
Wonder if ISIS has the balls to kidnap and behead Christians in the U.S.?

The UK needs you and such like-minded individuals right where you are Charlie, just like the Middle East needs Haman and such like minded individuals. We are the silent massive majority and the voice of reason.
The real enemy sees you and me and Haman no different from each other. The real enemy wants me hating you. But I know in your heart you are me and I am you and these words are more powerful than any weapon for it's basis is TRUTH.
The more the propaganda machine spews for me to hate, the more it shows me images that I am hated, the more I see their plan..........and ISIS is a tool which, if WE allow, will grant them perpetual death and control over us.
After all - no-one wants to be marched along a beach and beheaded or burnt alive in a cage - therein is your "kill one, scare a thousand" beautiful propaganda.........Hitler would be jealous.
I will not stop loving my peace-loving Muslim brothers and sisters, no matter how much the idiot box wants me to think otherwise......it's an insult to my intelligence.
Travelling the world and having friends of many faiths in many countries has allowed me to see the bigger picture and slowly as folks read my posts they will understand this too.
I will protect the innocent, the ridiculed and those less fortunate and call out the BS.
and ISIS is the BS, real BS but BS nonetheless. These little bitches have been on the world stage for only 5 minutes - ask yourself, who is giving them and their fancy videos their 15mins of fame?.........and why.
Who controls all of the worlds media?

I can't speak for all..
But since 9/11... we have become more desensitized ..
Aurora, sandy..... more and more..
For the rest.. all they care about is Starbucks and iPhones....
It's going to take a lot more to commit a shocking act.

An embarrassment for the terrorists, no doubt. But Im more concerned with our feckless federal government, who investigated one of these mf's a few years ago for radical ties, and subsequently allowed him to make a public twitter post stating his intentions to kill Americans, and did dick all about it.
Billions spent and warehouses dedicated to servers monitoring communications, and the incompetent US government cant even follow a known radical on twitter.

While a noble pursuit, that is not how ISIS operates. They hide amongst general populations lying in wait to allah snackbar. Its the reason they are so hard to defeat with the strongest militaries known to man on their ass. Im sure youre aware of all this, though.
My acknowledgement is to simply clarify that your fantasy is a fantasy. The reality is we have to savor our diversity and accept the occasional ISIS attack, or hurt the feelings of many good muslims and ask them to live amongst themselves. I have made my decision, and I wait.

I'd say that placing SWAT officers outside the event means they did do "dick all" about it.
People say stupid stuff on Twitter all the time. If they arrested the guy for having radical ties and making stupid Twitter posts, what would that have accomplished other than violating his First Amendment rights?

MAybe its time to institute a islamic loyalty test and have trials like they did to find communist. Or maybe force all muslims to wear body cameras and microphones.
SOme would say that is what we should do,but not me. the NSA just needs to learn from the KGB's example and adjust their scanners to new key words. Stop arresting terrorist and outright kill them. GEneva conventions allow it because they are illegal combatants.

The people who would say to do that are nothing but gutless cowards who are afraid of something they know nothing about. Then tell the idiots to go and ask a Jew who was in the camps or a Japanese who was in the internment camps here in the states if what was done to them was fair or just.
