ISIS beheads American Journalist

• sportchampps

  Video was definitely real IMO.
  
  I do however question two things.
  
  The voice on the video was dubbed over. I wonder if the man doing the speaking was the guy who beheaded him
  
  secondly, I have my doubts that the video really took place yesterday. I think it was filmed a while back and then their message was dubbed over to make it fit what they were going for. I suspect this because of how well he looked prior to the beheading. He looked pretty healthy and well fed despite being captured almost two years ago.

  I've read "about 50" and have seen the same point brought up that vball10set has alluded to. Maybe you are reading your own comments over and over again?
  
  Anyway, it seems pretty real to me.

  I'm not trying to be insensitive here or say he didn't fight or was a coward or whatever, in fact he seems to be the very opposite of a coward based on the life he lived.
  
  But why would you just kneel there and wait to be beheaded? I can't possibly predict my behavior in a situation like that, but I'd think I'd be struggling in some way.

  They might have pretended to do this to him several times before the real thing. Who knows.

  Well good for you but I am not seeing it. Not saying it isn't out there, I just haven't read them and don't understand why they would fake the video.

  How the hell can you possibly defend the president turning away from a press conference about the beheading of an American citizen by a terrorist group to a round of golf?

  Not defending as much as pointing out Bush did verrrry similar things but right wingers like to act like what hes doing is unheard of.
  
  For the record i think its wrong on both accounts

  Uhhh, no, I would argue that left wingers (aka, black people) like to bring up Bush every time someone criticizes Obama.

  Am I wrong? Say a bad thing about Obama in front of 100 black people and 98 of them will get defensive and blame bush for something.

  idk, never talk shit about Obama in my day to day life, much less enough to have a sample size of 100 black people. But none of that has anything to do with the left wingers = black people remark which is what I found telling.

  I didn't say left wingers = black people. I said a good portion of left wingers that get defensive about Obama are black people.
  
  As for your first sentence, I didn't realize if you say "if you sample 100 _______" that means you actually had to sample 100 _________. ???

  aka is traditionally understood to stand for "also known as" which would indicated something is a synonym for the preceding term. If you used it incorrectly then I suppose your intention could have been different.

  Okay I used it incorrectly. Can you find it in your heart to forgive me and understand that I do not believe that all democrats are black people. SMH

  Cant wait for the next term when the exact same shit happens. Presidential candidates are all damn near identical when in office. Only time theyre different is when theyre running and how they project themselves. Which honestly is fine by me,because compared to other countries. Its a cake walk to live here

  Some of you obviously haven't read a history book. Our involvement in the Middle East for the better part of the last 60 years is a major factor in the birth of terrorism. This video and act is barbaric and inexcusable but if you are being intellectually honest with yourself, when people over there hear or see children and civilians killed by drones, is that not barbaric? Is it ok because it is a machine and not a person?
  
  We are being baited into another war. They know what they are doing. They know they can't defeat us in battle but they can keep us busy and spending trillions more.
  
  Another thing I find amusing is this idea America or Americans are in constant danger from terrorists. There are on average 15k homicides per year in the United States, you are more likely to be murdered by your neighbor than by a terrorists.

  I highly doubt the IS are thinking "we can't defeat them but let's start some shit to get them to spend more money!!"
  
  The IS, IMO, are religiously batshit crazy and truly believe in what they say because they are blindly following some bullshit god.
  
  When you let religion rule your world, weird shit happens.
