Faux (instantly) using Munich "terror attack" shooting to justify Trump's "law and order" speech

Of course as others have pointed out, we have shootings in the US every day, which Faux rarely covers, yet here we find Faux covering non-stop a possible terrorist incident in another country when none of the facts are yet known. Faux is clearly using this to avoid talking about Hillary's possible VP pick, which I knew they would do anything to step on, and now they are crying that there are no "law and order" speakers at the DNC. And of course this incident in Germany, "shots ringing out at a fast food restaurant so this must be ISIS," justifies Trump's doom and gloom speech according to Faux.

I'm not sure why we have wall to wall coverage of this going on in the US.

Now even CNN is going on nonstop about the problems with "immigrants" in Germany, "law and order" and terrorism, and how we all need to worry about terrorism, etc etc. CNN is now shamelessly trying to link the shooting at/near a McDonald's in Germany as a DELIBERATE ATTACK ON THE UNITED STATES because McDonald's is 'Murican.

We have no idea if it was terrorism. It may not be.

as "proof" that we have a nightmare "law and order" problem happening in the US. They are talking about the whole city of Munich being shut down as though it is happening here, and an attack on a McDonald's also is a symbolic attack on the US. I am not joking about the absurdity.
