    Three shots and no blood? Can my fellow Americans clarify if that's possible?

    Thank goodness that Russia is a empathetic and compassionate nation. I am sure that they will understand that this was all just an isolated event.

    I'm not suggesting anything. I'm just wondering.

    If he was a particularly heavy set individual his adipose tissue could have closed around the bullet wounds, thus trapping his blood inside.

    He was shot in the back, guys.

    I can post a pic of the dead gunman. Who is very, VERY dead.

    But that's probably not cool on this site.

    Thanks Obama!

    I wonder how many more pieces Obama will take off the board before Putin gets the message.

    Oh are we crediting Obama for this now? It was 50/50 as to if you'd credit Obama or blame Trump, glad to know for sure which you picked.

    In other news of today, a shooting next to a mosque in Zürich - 3 dead. And a truck running into a Christmas market in Berlin - several dead. Not sure if this is a coincidence.

    RELIGION HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS...

    He just happened to choose to say to say Allahu Akbar in his last dying words.

    Nothing to see here.... move along.... there is a school teacher with a Charlie Brown poster on the wall to get irate about.

    TheDelusionalist137 is still warning that we should not speculate on the motive ("lol").

    I don't think you have to be a religious extremist to take umbrage at the suffering Russia has caused in Syria. This isn't like the terror attacks where some nut kills innocent people indiscriminately. This is more of an old-fashioned political assassination. That's not commendable or anything, but I wouldn't lump it in with the Christmas market attack.

    He did say "Allahu Akbar", though. Not "For the love of Jesus" or "Namaste".

    Sure. I'm pretty tired now of these maybe-he's-not-Muslim mocking posts in every tragedy thread. I guess for some, it's the same delight every time. I know they're Muslim. It doesn't mean to me what it apparently means to you.
