Why do anything at all regarding the Saudi students? They have been part of the program for decades without incident and, after all, the Saudi spokesperson, Donald Trump, who immediately spoke out about these killings said the Saudi leadership was sure sorry about what happened and that the Saudi people love Americans . Surely we can believe our beloved president.
Uncle M (no uncle of mine).
I lost classmates and good friends on 9/11, (working it the Towers, FDNY, NYPD, and in Washington DC). I am still losing friend to the poison that was breathed during the recovery. Most of those terrorists were from Saudi Arabia! Yes, I have NOT Forgotten and I will my voice to remind others. The Bible warns us about people as this. Those in “sheep’s clothing.” Quran teaches jihad.
These people don’t belong in our country! Yes, the New Colossus on the Statue of Liberty speaks of giving us your tired, you weak, yearning to be set free, and standing beside the open door. It also tells that you come here to contribute, to assimilate, not to come here with the idea of changing our country into what you just left.
I WILL NOT FORGET!
It’s all just a shame. I live about 1 mile from the front gate of NAS Pensacola and was awakened last Friday am at 6:54 to the most insane sirens I’ve ever heard. No matter what… we need time to heal.

Send them back now, and the people that make excuses for them.
All of the forgiving, educated and informed armchair experts…the victims families await your valuable insight.
REGARDING:
“Their views on anything is of no consequence
Its what you do as an individual is of consequence”
I go along with the second part, but remind that actions are results of views.
If I think it is acceptable to put others down and/or harm them, I probably will.
If I think people should be treated as I would like to be treated, I probably will.
Most people tend to function that way.
David for love and kindness
REGARDING:
“Saudi Arabia is one of the richest countries on the planet”
Not really, According to the World Bank: Saudi Arabia produces $23,219/person (most of which they produce by using trained workers from civilized nations) whereas in the USA, the average is $62,641/person (and we aren’t all civilized). They don’t invest in people.
Saudi Arabia takes in a lot of oil money, but the nation itself is poor as dirt. When they run out of petroleum or we replace petroleum with other resources, they will go back into the dark ages unless they change and you can see they get upset at change.
David for change,
nuclear power, solar, wind,
fracking, whatever it takes
At Uncle M… Very well put and exact
@ Uncle M…I could not have said it better.
We have murdering people of all races here and abroad
Where they come from is of no consequence
The color of their skin is of no consequence
Their views on anything is of no consequence
Its what you do as an individual is of consequence
What you say is of consequence
No matter how uneducated it is
I love the drastic knee jerk reactions from everybody. This program has been here since the 1970s. The only thing that really needs to change is the vetting process and your racist attitudes towards others who are different then you. Big surprise we are more alike then different.
If the reports are correct that the murderous bastard and his comrades watched videos of mass shootings over dinner then they should be on a plane headed for the sandbox. End the training of foreign nationals – Saudi Arabia is one of the richest countries on the planet – they can afford the military hardware/they can afford to train their own. We don’t need them here we don’t want them here – ENOUGH!
Suspend program at least until investigation is complete
Send them all home and let some of the older and more experienced Saudi pilots train the younger ones.
We don’t need them here.
You are going to have to send them back to Saudi Arabia. There will not be peace until they are gone. They will all be under suspicion and may receive threats in retaliation to the shooting.
