I think you are right there. Jihadists world over are seeing how two malcontent punks in the US with some IED’s and firearms can disrupt a whole city for days. That’s not a comforting thought.
In fact, I’m wondering if the Chris Dorner media frenzy might have been inspiration for these morons, or any future whackjob with a grudge, no matter what cause they cling to.
Mass shootings ending in in the suicide or arrest of the perp are exclamation points of terror. They occur and are over with sickening suddenness. The damage they do to those immediately effective is horrific, but the damage to society is more or less determined by the amount of freedom those who make the law are willing to take away in response.
Attacks followed by massive manhunts that last for days with all the media trimmings are more “bang for the buck” from the viewpoint of those wanting attention, terror, disruption and the erosion of freedom in this country. We may get used to what amounts to martial law during these emergencies. Would that good for the country if there are more and more of them?
I’m glad they took this little creep alive. I’m all for bad guys getting the short end of the stick in a gunbattle, but besides the intelligence goldmine the capture represents, the willingnes to accept surrender rather than execute on the spot is part of what seperates us from “them”. I’m still not entirely comfortable with the way Dorner got the mini-Waco treatment. Kudos to the guys who pulled off the capture of this lowlife.
He’s still a US citizen. We are a nation of laws, not of personal vendettas. Nothing is gained from assassinating him.
Good points.
I think Holder/Obama will let this drag on just like Fort Hood.
There is o’liely giving an excuse as to why the younger brother is involved!
O’liely is so full of himself, it’s embarrasing. My old Dad would have called him a “Big dumb Mick” right to his face. And we’re Irish. LOL
I’m pretty certain that we’re going to see “incidents” like this very often. But more guns, less bombs because the emphasis will be gun control.
I want to learn more about a possible cell.
Look, I’m not trying to get into a fight with a fellow Freeper. I’m sure being that close to the events was undoubtedly stressing - it would be for any of us.
But the issue is really Dead or Alive for this jerk. I think alive is better because I think we will all be better off if he talks and we learn about his organization if he has one but certainly about his motivation.
Now I believe for the later most Freepers know what that motivation is - Convert to Islam or die or something along those lines.
But the American public needs a wake up call on Islamic Jihad. Alive, this guy can contribute to that. Dead we could look forward to another Obama coverup.
So, I’m sorry if I upset you but I think this event has the power to affect future immigration policy and we need that to happen.
Oh yeah, they’re having more than a few in Boston tonight.
Ditto...well, 1/2 Irish, other German. But still!
One of my close friends calls me a McKraut, lol.
I’m sure you are correct; however, we are on to them.
I asked in some thread “why do they always show their hand?”
Then I answered myself (in my own head). Because the light of truth is ALWAYS brighter than the dark of lies.
You’re absolutely right.
There are sleeper cells all over the country.
We have a mosque here in town. Every time I go past it, it is empty.
Apparently Friday nights are the “Prayer nights” and from what towners have told me, it is packed!
Next Friday night (just thought of this now) I’m going to go down there...observe and take pics.
I was shocked it was a mosque! I thought it was a new commercial building but wondering why no one was ever there!
Next Friday night (just thought of this now) I’m going to go down there...observe and take pics.

Maybe we should all do this. All across America! Let them know we are watching.
Perhaps we can get something going here. Spread the word.

I’m a McKraut, too. LOL
Here’s to us!
Cheers!
