The shooter sound like a mentally deranged man looking for a reason. A wall would not have prevented this but a better gone loss might of might have. Here is what he had to say [video clip] tonight tonight at 11 40 officer Jeff Hartnett was at 60th and spruce streets. When he entered the intersection a male comes up on the sidewalk and starts firing into his window. Is drivers side window.

Caller good morning. Thank you for having me. I think that the officer being shot is tragic. There is nothing we can say to take that away. What i am saying is that you statorlame all islamic all islam when it was one man. When the guy shut the nine people in South Carolina, we did not blame people who waved rebel flags. When the guy shut the Abortion Clinic in colorado we did not blame all people who are prolife. Tragic actually one man, as it was in bad as it was, and he is getting the punishment he deserves. He deserves to be put in jail. He deserves what he gets that you cant blame all of his long for the actions islam for the actions of one man. Host backs of his fill from corinth, maine on the republican line. Caller good morning. Hownt quite understand people can call in and say this situation had nothing to do with islam. It had everything to do with islam. Last night cnn made a big deal about this one woman who stood up at a trump rally wearing her full muslim garb. Just stood up. Nobody knows why she stood up, she didnt say anything. When 70 stands up at a rally like this in this situation today, you have to find out what they are up to. They escorted her out. All of a sudden it is our fault because this woman in muslim garb stood up and was thrown out of a meeting. Let me tell you something. Left towant my family the situation that happened in San Bernardino or what happened in philadelphia last night. The mayor of philadelphia has to be dumber than a box of rocks. This guy said he is doing it because of our islam. He hates white policeman because they are unfair to black people. With the mayor does not understand about that is beyond me. The only mayor that is more foolish than him is the blog you in new york. De blazio in the work. These mass shootings, anybody chicago, yet to go to detroit, washington, dc, philadelphia in new york. They are all run by liberal democrats. Nobody but nobody wants to take responsibility. One thing cspan should do, is to do a study since lyndon rememberwhich i because i voted for kennedy and im a republican conservative. How many billions and trillions of dollars were spent on the Great Society to help black people out of poverty and it never worked. Look at baltimore. Look at philadelphia. Look at new york. Ant,ever you w black families with no follies, single mothers, education is not a sit ration women want to be. Situation where they want to be. And trump said we had to find a way to screen them before we let the men. Now europe france this morning put 5000 more police into power this morning. The you think the french arent afraid of the muslims . Im sorry, it is wrong. Host we will keep it there. We will give the conversation focused on the shooting incident in philadelphia and the shooters claim that he is loyal to the Islamic State. Editorial in the wall street journal about muslims and the police. New york city has ignored the lessons of its antiterrorist excesses. The editorial states that terror attacks in paris and San Bernardino hash of the dangers of homegrown islamic radicals. Progressives want to shame and the police that first over the Police Departments muslim intelligence program. The deal confirms that the cost. Of in right of a long insane they did nothing wrong but it nonetheless embarrasses the cost of any civilian monitor and castigate them for being right about radicalization. Jesper is calling in memphis on the democratic line. I want to dial into one of my homeboys. The one from maine the just spoke about islam. Weve been having a problem with islam until they voted for mr. Bush and they started messing with those folks. You push somebody around, they will come back and get you. You try to blend the population for being black in a grid or whatever, look at what you have been doing to the population. The people down there in Oregon Holding that chance ranch, they are worse the people coming up here try to kill them. You have got to face up to it. The chickens are coming home to roost. You pay for what you get. In for you republicans, you are the ones that got the country in this shape. Him e a bad prejudice prejudicism and hate in this system. Host jasper from tennessee.

Is gives us another reason to consider smart and technology because the gun was stolen from responsible gun owner we have to stop that. Josh from the york. Hes of the democratic line. Go ahead. That i i have got to say am ashamed. I have to say that. I am ashamed because the republicans want to blame everybody out there but they dont want to look at themselves. I forgot 54 64 of republicans believe that obama is a muslim. And they got donald trump out there saying these stupid things like her republicans saying he is no good and he is this and that. You know that program of Charlie Brown when he speak to the teacher. That is what republicans sound like sometimes. They dont know what the heck they be saying sometimes. Thatimes they say things how can i say . Host are you worried about the possibility of an ice is attack in the u. S. . Caller yes because the simple fact is if there is another attack out there and got for bid if somebody comes up and says donald trump, we saw donald tv bashing muslims lets put it this way. Let say there is a puerto rican placeent and he goes to a like a Movie Theater or Something Like that and shes up i dide theater and say, it because of donald trump dis sing muslims or dissing puerto ricans. They can be any one of those things. Republicans dont understand when they keep saying that obama is this. The republicans started this. They opened up that box. Host we hear your thoughts this morning. The next is james from laverne, tennessee calling on the independent line. Go ahead. Caller hello . Host you were on the air. Caller thank you.
