Media Would Rather Talk About Fargo Jihadist’s ‘Binary Trigger’ Than His Motive

The binary trigger must have made Mohamad do it.

What was the real ‘trigger’ for Mohamad Barakat, the Muslim terrorist who prepped for a mass murder of Americans at a local fair, before stopping to open fire on police officers and was himself shot and killed.

The authorities still claim that they don’t know why a Syrian Muslim named Mohamad might have wanted to go ahead and try to carry out a massacre, but the media is really excited about his ‘binary trigger’.

In a truly surreal article headlined, “the Fargo shooter used a binary trigger. Here’s what to know about the device that’s worrying police”, the AP doesn’t even mention Mohamad’s name until the third paragraph.It then only mentions his name only one more time while focusing largely on his trigger.

What’s the real trigger that made Mohamad do it, Islam or a ‘binary trigger’?

CNN, ABC News, CBS News and many others have already run features on the exciting ‘binary trigger’ and how the real problem is a lack of binary trigger control.

The binary trigger must have made Mohamad do it.

If only there were no binary triggers, we would finally be safe from Syrians, Iraqis, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, Somalis, and other binary trigger lovers who want to kill us in the name of their binary trigger. They are said to believe that the binary trigger is sacred and that all must bow to it and worship it. And that those infidels who will not kowtow to the binary trigger, triggers them and leads to killing sprees.

But there may be an answer. Instead of trying to ban mechanical devices, perhaps we should consider whether we could use fewer binary trigger lovers moving to this country whose love for the binary trigger might trigger them into causing us harm.
