Man beheads Woman at Work

Ur a fcking badass. I like talking to you, thanks for seeing this and brining it to light.

I'm hearing reports that Islam/ISIS may have been involved, but given that the source is Fox News, I'm not too keen on immediately trusting it.

CNN actually started that one and have been running with it. Do you trust them?

Well if it's coming from multiple news sources it may have some merit, but even the news sources are saying it's just a suspicion. No confirmation or anything.

This has nothing to do with terrorism, if the media tried making that, up I laugh in their pitiful faces.

Funny though, all thats on the new is about ISIS and beheadings, seems they just trying to manipulate people by this beheading which has not one thing to do with another.

Welcome to the Spin Zone.

CNN article I read had quotes saying the guy was trying to convert his co-workers to Islam and then when he got fired he came back to the factory, crashed his car, walked in the building, and attacked the two people closest to him before police arrived and shot him twice (and he's still alive). I guess it's possible, but frankly, I wouldn't put it past the media (and others) to be using this situation as propaganda. We have these ISIS/ISIL videos of hostages getting beheaded, which leads to us making a somewhat unpopular move to mobilize air support and fund Syrian rebels (unpopular because the populace think this will lead to another ground war, as well as the fact that we can't guarantee the allegiances of these Rebels we're handing $500M and weaponry), have disagreement at home about the need to put actual troops on the ground in the conflict zone, and now we have a possible Muslim Extremist beheading a woman in the "Heartland" of America? Seems rather convenient, while still being plausible. However, it's reminiscent of the DC Snipers and Ricin/Anthrax letters that were mailed after we moved to roll out operations in Afghanistan and Iraq, and all the fear pimping that was happening in 2002-2005. This tune sounds very familiar.

"This off-duty deputy definitely saved Traci's life," Lewis said. "This was not going to stop if he didn't stop it. He's obviously a hero in this situation. It's very tragic that someone did lose their life, but it could have gotten a lot worse. This guy was definitely not going to stop. He didn't stop until he was shot."

Nolen recently had been trying to convert co-workers to Islam, Lewis said.

Moore police have asked the FBI to help investigate the man's background.

"Due to the manner of death and the statement of co-workers and other initial information that investigators have gathered, we requested the assistance of the FBI in conducting a background investigation into Nolen."

Employee who was trying to convert coworkers to Islam beheads a coworker in Oklahoma, and is shot by an off-duty cop.

So he has picked up the sword against his own people and nation and got the idea from the horrible atrocities that the Islamic Extremists do to people. Go figure!

That, or he just went 'postal' and beheaded a co-worker and stabbed another, and isn't a Muslim at all.

Agreed, the "he's a Muslim and tried to convert people" connection to his crimes seems like a forced connection so far.

Exactly, we don't know and we probably never will! Its just another example of half ass media grasping at straws to confuse us.

Al Sharp is on msnbc at the moment, turn it on if you can.

It might not just be the media. We've got midterms coming up and this is the beginnings of a new war. The war for hearts and minds, domestically, has just begun.

I'm actually at work.

Also, f*ck Al Sharpton.

Lol,^^

True that, he went straight from talking about the beheading to talking about ISIS in Iraq and the beheadings in Iraq.

Now he and the media is blurring the lines making it sound like the same issue.

I feel dorry for the victims.

He was a convert to Islam and his Facebook page had nothing but utterly disgusting beheading videos in the Middle East.

Was he tha kid that posts here? Eminem?
