	Report Comment okierose, Tulsa County (11/8/2009 6:13:09 PM) oldrustytulsa: I agree. Since it was so 'easy' for Hanan to kill and injure so many, there WILL be more. Congress, the military, etc. won't change anything due to having to be politically correct. Just be more aware of who is around you.

	Report Comment hardball, (11/8/2009 7:41:15 PM) get well soon Matt. Way past time to deport ALL Muslims since they seem have no inclination or desire to assimulate and become Americans, rather than crazy quik-shop and motel managers. HOW do they ever get by the US Customs Agency??
