An Imprecise Science

The major news outlets are all reporting on a shooting that occurred outside an event in Texas today (Sunday) night and they’ve got the facts; but they’re twisting them. All that anyone seems to know is that the shooting occurred outside an American Freedom Defense Initiative Meeting and that two men (possibly the shooters) are dead and that, while no one else seems to have died, one security guard was injured. 

The supposed story as it’s being spun,however, is that the gunmen were two Muslims protesting a ‘free speech’ event because it included a contest for drawing the Prophet Mohammad. This might or might not be true, BUT this is what they’re decidedly glossing over:

-- the group hosting the event (the American Freedom Defense Initiative) is an extremist anti-Islam group which has been labeled a hate group. They’re also known as SIOA-- Stop Islamization of America.

-- the ‘drawing contest’ was a ‘cartoon’ contest. whatever that means.

--There’s no proof so far that the two men killed by the police were actually the shooters

Let’s assume they probably were though. Even so:

-- There’s no proof they were rioting against this particular event.

--  There’s really no proof the gunmen were Muslim
