There's jihadi....crazy....and crazy jihadi. I await further information.

I think calling a jihadi "crazy" is a pretty bad religious slur..... we don't want to do that.
The act of jihad is not "crazy" in the view of those espousing it. It's the ultimate test of adherence to the texts.

A small for a BUB, the reports ive read stated there was a secondary device, or at least another device attached to the dud he ignited, so I would have angled for the brainpanshot if he were still moving?

Indeed. It is the ultimate act of sacrifice for something one believes in.

Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery?....

I have only one regret, that I have but one life to give....

Meanwhile, as this was unfolding this morning, "It's not news it's CNN" was covering how many diet Cokes the president drinks in a day. A big story that covered up the suicide bombing.

Fox read a statement giving credit to four NYPD officers for "apprehending" the guy. Wasn't he fairly incapacitated after this? I did not watch video

If he was still alive, he was still a viable threat.

I didn't. I said there are 3 options. How are there not (at least) 3 options?

I'm still waiting for the definitions and when exactly "crazy" becomes a defining characteristic.
I mean, if roughly 30% of muslims worldwide (350 million) believe that jihad is fine and justified how many then are "crazy"?

30% of Muslims are suicide bombers?

You may want to study up on the varying beliefs about exactly what jihad is.

Upon further reflection this was a crappy thing to say. Who knows what that dude had strapped to himself and I read further than he was still still moving and looked like he was reaching for a phone and had exposed wires on his person.

Kudos to the officers for moving towards a guy who was likely attempting to explode the area

My favorite so far. He's like the Wile-E-Coyote of suicide bombing.

I didn’t say that.
I said 30% agree that the jihadist acts are justified or they agree with them.

that's where the joke comes from regarding moderate Muslim definition

More than 40% of Americans think Trump has committed a crime.

Now that is some world class deflection.

I don't think anyone has a problem with yelling.

No, this is 2017, land of snowflakes. That would hurt someone's feelings. You cant yell at them anymore.

More than that KNOW Hillary did, but, intent.
