The reality is that there are "bad apples" in every type of organization and movement on earth. It is usually the violent who receive the most publicity and attention.

More people know about the Inquisition and the violence of the Roman Catholic Church than know about the millions of peaceful Catholics. More people know about the handful of Evangelical Protestants who bombed abortion clinics or killed abortion doctors or support Donald Trump than know about the millions of peaceful Evangelicals who believe in "love thy neighbor" and "we are our brother's keeper". More people know about the small number of Muslims who use suicide vests and terror than know about the millions of peaceful Muslims who seek only peace with their fellowman, and who consider Allah a God of peace and hates violence.

Who is the right, and who is the wrong? The answer is that we are both right and both wrong. The majority want peace, but the minority want terror, and unfortunately that minority are much louder, and get all the attention.

This picture of one of the victims looks reasonably similar to a guy in the video of the shooting outside the McDonalds. They are wearing the same maroon colored t-shirt. At about the eight second mark you see what looks like the victim running to escape the gunman as he opens fire on a group of five bystanders. He is the last of the three visible at :08 running left and out of the frame.

lol seriously? Trump isn't perfect but putting him in the same category as people who kill abortion doctors and bomb clinics goes way too far. That is something liberal nutcases would do.

The two gunmen at 0:55 and later are policemen...one of them shouts "Alle weg da!" which means: "Go away, all of you!" so they are trying to chase bystanders away.

You missed my point. I'm talking about extremism. It is the minority who turn to extremism. The majority who prefer peace, non-violence, love, and caring are often the ones who do not get the attention. It is usually the violent, the oppressive, the arrogant, who get the most attention. Whether one supports Trump or not there is no denying he is a very divisive figure, and one which many people unfairly assume any Evangelical "Christian" supports, and they don't.

Again, the loudest are usually the extremists. The quiet, peaceful ones are the boring everyday people.

Yeah, because only people in right-wing politics can be extremist,

Another body was found one kilometer away from the mall, with a red backpack.

A wall-E was send to inspect the backpack for explosives...

Dude I never said that. You completely misconstrued what I said. The "extremist" applies to everybody who is ... an extremist. Regardless of political or religious ideology.
