Pamela Geller Orchestrated Muslim Attack at Cartoonist Competition

Pamella Geller

I doubt whether Pamela Geller was in direct contact with ISIS leaders, but she was behind the Muslim attack at the Muhammad cartoon competition in Garland, Texas, in which the two gunmen were killed.   There will be no "smoking gun".   This anti-Muslim fanatic is deranged and may actually be seeking "martyrdom" in the same vein as individuals who provoke the police to shoot them in what has come to be termed "suicide by cop".  According to Wikipedia:

The phenomenon has been described in news accounts from 1981,and scientific journals since 1985.The phrase has appeared in news headlines since at least 1987. It did not become common until the early 2000s. The phrase seems to have originated in the United States, but has also appeared in the UK, where a jury first determined someone committed suicide by cop in 2003.

The thought that Pamela Geller orchestrated this attack might not have occurred to me until I listened to the tape announcing the attack to the Geller crowd and heard the ecstatic tone of one of her supporters asking in the background: "Were they Muslims"?

The photogenic Ms. Geller is getting older and in ways that additional plastic surgery may not be able to repair.  She may as a consequence be suffering from a Marilyn Monroe type losing-her-looks fear.Whatever the case, this woman has become a public hazard, whose dark yearnings is very likely to get innocent people killed, regardless of what happens to her.  

Geller does not stand for "freedom of speech".  What she really stands for is making herself into a larger than life hero at the expense of innocent bystanders.
