Breaking: ISIS beheads another journalist :(

ISIS video shows beheading of U.S. journalist Steven Sotloff and threatens British captive David Haines. -CNN

This is terrible. This group is really erratic.

Random: And I'd like to add that I have a lot of ISIS clothing and I love it, but I'm wondering if their brand name will have to change with the ISIS insurgency.

My MIL and I drove by an Isis Metaphysical Bookstore and she was outraged!  She's speshul.

How do people get this evil? What are they hoping to achieve with these gory murders?

[cinnamoncox]

Yes.  The third journalist is seen at the end of this latest video.

[Velar Fricative]

Oh no.

Now that it's clear their threats aren't empty and that they don't care to wait very long to carry their threats out, I am not only sad for Sotloff's loved ones but also for Haines' loved ones right now because now they know what's inevitable and they can't do anything to stop it. I just can't.

It "galvanizes their supporters and terrifies their enemies."  Indeed.

Some Western intelligence officials believe Sotloff was executed the same day as Foley was but ISIS is spacing the videos out for publicity purposes:

This chills me to the bone. This kind of thing is just such pure evil.

[tres3]

I'm sort of OK with the UK not letting back in citizens who happen to be fighting for ISIS.

I had a similar thought when I put on my beloved sports bra the other day.

How heartbreaking for all of the families/loved ones of these journalists.

Terrible.

Oh God. Was he the one whose mom sent out the appeal to release him?

defintely ok with no one being allowed back into any country.  I have absolutely no problem turning them away.

Yes. My heart breaks for her and their entire family.

This is my thought, as well.

I mentioned it in another thread, but I have a family member who was kidnapped and murdered over there. I have to bite my tongue as to how I want to respond to these posts. I'm clearly biased in what I think should be done over there.

[NewOrleans]

Well, they sure showed everyone the wisdom and righteousness of their cause. I, for one, would really like to see everyone agree to an Islamic state under their leadership.

Fucking savages.

There's an app on my new phone called isis wallet. Apparently they're going to rename soon.

I did confirm that the first beheaded journalist was the brother of a friend/coworker. So it hit really close to home.

[WOT?*]

I came across this article a few minutes ago. It's 3:00 a.m. so I hope it's as interesting a read at 10:00 a.m. but for this time of the morning, it was a fairly good read for all that I was able to read it with my bleary eyes.  It's a WorldPost article.

And I'm another who thinks they beheaded them at the same time. Effing filth.
