What's this? The bully defense. I think it is more likely that striking at any infidel is close enough.

I had some friends from Russia and they got bit by the same bug when they came to the US in the early 1980s. They became materialistic as all get out, almost pathalogicly so.

American materialism and Islam don't mix well in the brain. They should have tried some Ayn Rand as that stuff is custom brewed for materialists. They would have turned into the assholes they despised but at least they and their victims would still be alive.
Dang I wish the news would all state the same story. I'm watching it on tv here and the news is saying his uncle lives in Maryland.

Now they are saying he might have made it out before they secured the area and are looking for a green Honda in Connecticut.

On the bright side, they didn't choose to target a school.

If they are truly associated with these guys, they dwarf the Newtown shootings

A local channel runs CNN feed when something big happens. It is safe to say watching CNN is a dreadful experience. They were reporting things not verified just to get the scoop on the other cable channels I guess. They are probably not doing any different on the others. Makes it real easy for me to stay OTA and spend my money on music instead.

One of their biggest: They killed 350 school children in Beslan.

The Russians have warning us about them for years and we played deaf and dumb.

We and Europe have a penchant for getting in bed with muslims who later turn around and bite us.

The Chechyns are one of the most persecuted people on the world. The crap that has been done to them is incredible. The entire populace was taken from their country and sent to Siberia. And likely the biggest false flag operation ever committed was blamed on them.

Bullying and arrogance have consequences. There is no question about that. I can't tell you how many times I've wanted to piss on businessmen talking loudly on cellphones while using airport urinals. If they got bombed I would feel schadenfreude.

In this particular case I am tending to agree it appears as a "closest infidel" scenario.
