The real facts

A conservative Trump supporter recently submitted a letter about “The Real Facts” in regard to the terror attack in New York. He was with other friends when the attack was brought up in conversation. Apparently he did not trust his friends’ version of what had transpired that day and waited to get home so he could watch or read all about it for himself. Then he submitted a letter educating the rest of us on the real facts.

Yes, the terrorist did enter our country in 2010 through the diversity visa program; 50,000 a year enter through this program. No evidence has been presented that he was a terrorist when he entered our country in 2010. There is no evidence that he has been planning for the past seven years his attack. Yet some think this program is a gateway for terrorism and terrorists in America including President Trump.

He was armed with two guns, one was a paint ball gun and the other was a pellet gun. If only more mass shooting killers armed themselves with nothing more than a paint ball gun and a pellet gun. We can discuss a terror attack after it happens but not a mass shooting. All we can offer after a mass shooting is thoughts and prayers for the victims and their families.

The terrorist did not meet his demise from NYC’s finest, he was wounded and survived to face trial in our courts.

Mao Zedong did not coin political correctness, he believed in it. He also killed a lot of people who he felt were not politically correct. Political correctness did not kill those people under Mao, he did. Just like conservative’s argument about guns. Guns do not kill, people do. I do not refer to the terrorism in New York as radical Islamic terrorism like President Trump. I apologize to conservative snowflakes out there for not being politically correct.
