Quote:A North Texas sheriff who criticized “the left” and “political correctness” in a Facebook post after Monday’s terror attack in Manchester, England, defended his comments Tuesday.

“I stand behind it,” Denton County Sheriff Tracy Murphree told NBC 5. “We need to be realistic about the world we live in.”

The Manchester bombing, which happened at the end of an Ariana Grande concert, left at least 22 dead, including an 8-year-old girl. The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the attack, though an American intelligence official could not verify that, according to the Associated Press. Manchester police identified the bomber as 22-year-old Salman Abedi, a Britain native who died in the attack.

Murphree’s Facebook post about 10 p.m. Monday implored Americans to “pay attention to what is happening in Europe.”

“This is what happens when you disarm your citizens,” Murphree wrote. “When you open your borders without the proper vetting. When you allow political correctness to dictate how you respond to an enemy that wants to kill you. When you allow these radicals to travel to Afghanistan and Iran and simply let them back in.”

He later wrote, “You better wake up America. While you are distracted by the media and the crying of the left, Islamic Jihadist are among us and want to kill you.”

The fact that he doesn't use logic. How does arming the public stop a bomb? Guy was native. How does open borders apply here? Not being politically correct will magically kill our enemies? Guess you support closing the border and letting no one leave or enter? Does that save us from the millions of murderers already living here? Wish I could live in this perfect fantasy world where nothing happens.

the fact that you dont use logic in your post is also whats wrong... by your logic, you want to accept thousands of potential terrorists just because we already have a "million murderers"? Yeah... thats some logic alright!

There are about 15,000 to 16,000 murders each year in the US, so that means for there to be even one million murderers in the US every single person that had committed a murder in the last 60 or so years would have to still be alive and that's only if none of those people committed more than one murder.

More accurately, there are probably around 200,000-250,000 murderers in the US and about 165,000 of those are currently incarcerated.

What about the favorite line of you leftists when it comes to guns

"If it saves just one life...."


So because we can't stop everything we should do nothing in your book? Got it.

I take it since this is your stance that since we can't cure AIDS that you see no need for health insurance. I mean if we can't stop one thing why make the effort anywhere else right?

An absolute asinine stance that again I hope you are only using on here in your role as a troll and not in real life.
