Wow. I am grateful he was stopped - -that’s an understatement.
But I wonder what it’s like for the families and children who were at school for a Saturday back-to-school cookout to hear that they narrowly missed a shooting. The deep state - taking happiness from people wherever they can get it. Again, grateful that he was stopped, but wondering how the DS has negatively impacted societal peace of mind, security etc. for generations. We could be grieving dead children right now; thank God we are not.
Some of us in Fla have tried to raise awareness since 9/11. On our east coast a few of the 9/11 creeps spent a little time while preparing. One group rented a house in a cul de sac briefly. They had a van parked outside with a guard inside 24/7. That is simply NOT natural. The neighbors had to have noticed such strange happenings, yet they never reported anything.
In fairness, our local law enforcement really didn't have the training to understand such things either. Even after our sheriff in this country assigned an officer to counter-terrorism, when he came to our neighborhood to lecture us, he was shocked when I told him this story... he had never considered such a thing, or citizens being on the lookout for such oddities.
I say this to reinforce what Q said: see something, say something. We are living in a different world now. We just can't Leave It To Beaver any longer. We must all step up now, like that concealed carry on that Titusville, Fla park with the school kids this past weekend. We have now seen the enemy.
