Yet another convert to Islam gets the idea that his new religion commands him to commit treason and mass murder, but no one cares about that. All that we hear in this story is that he was a “Northern California tow-truck driver.” We also hear that he was a former Marine, and in the seventh paragraph, that he espoused “radical jihadi beliefs.” The CNN story is even worse, with “ex-Marine” in the headline.

McKinney said Jameson attended Marine basic training “in or about” June 2009, and “graduated several months later.” Jameson trained as a sharpshooter, but later was discharged for failing to disclose a history of asthma….
