No, no @RobProvince. Terrorists are mad because we're mean @JillFilipovic. Jazz hands everybody!

They chose a murder spree over their own 6 mo. old child. You don't think that's a little inhuman & emotionless? https://t.co/07YOE1Wcgy

Conversely, has anyone ever heard of a "humane and emotional" terrorist? https://t.co/1PO4mm05K4

Unfortunately the “cartoon” is playing out in real life:

Terrorists aren't "cartoon villains." They are actual villains. https://t.co/7QlxmJD9Cg

Attempting to extinguish terrorism by bashing the NRA and fighting “climate change.” What could go wrong?
