It's important to not let the media's propaganda make people especially young people think all loners are dangerous. Lots of people are loners and they are not a threat to anyone. Loners often like their peace of mind. They are often thinkers.

My first time watching Firstpost and I must say that I am impressed!! I found Palki Sharma far more of a journalist than most on US news outlets.
I'll be back and if it remains unbiased and covers the important stuff (and not misdirection like in the US) then I'll become a regular...
Thank you!

He was in a Black Rock commercial did he become radicalized in junior college? Look into his junior college courses and teachers.

[bernieeod]

They always show an old high school photo of the perp, not a more recent one where they grow out their hair, take on piercings, tattoos, etc.

[robertnorkus]

I have watched many of your podcast, and truly enjoy your unfiltered news reporting.

[jarednovel]

You have to remember when they said Trump must be stopped by all means necessary

[king_stanza-z]
