Here are the asshats who have created the 'knee jerk' fear in this country.

They're propaganda is directly responsible for endangering the general public by fomenting fear. Innocent people are being harassed because of the way they look. Innocent people are dying because terrorists can buy guns at any gun store. Even a terror hoax causes disruption. Exactly what ISIS/DESH wants. DESH is elated that Americans are buying more guns because the NRA wants terrorists to have guns. If these pricks are not stopped our country is in for bloodshed like we've never seen before.

Any one of the assholes that have told us to live in fear could have been shut down by responsible journalists. Instead, they let them go on endlessly over the last 4 decades without calling them out in any meaningful way.
