Little Bill Daggett:
You just shot an unarmed man.
Bill Munny:
He should have armed himself.
Get a gun, Smile, defend yourself.
Tremendous resistance to such plans by most American Jews. Too big a reminder that Jews are but temporary guests anywhere outside of the Land of Israel. But even a small percent of a cross-section of American Jews being somewhat prepared will save many lives.
Pogroms in America are coming.
First one was in ‘91. None since. Pretty good record, relatively speaking.
A fantastic record, perhaps unequaled!
But permanent? I think not!
Local orthodox synagogue has had armed private security during the sabbath and holy days, really any time there are a lot of people there, for years.
Realists about the world.
I know of a man that does baptismal’s, swears glock’s are water proof, I am skeptical.
many Los Angeles synagogues have had tight security for some years - not just for obvious holidays, but for daily life, especially when a day school is on the property. fact of life for Jews.
Even a place like the Jewish Community Center in St. Paul, Minnesota, has had both noticeable and inconspicuous security for years.
So the name of my city is now synonymous with whackjob anti-Semite attacks. Swell.
didn’t that area have quite a few Somalis enlist as jihadis?
St. Paul is a different world than Minneapolis. I believe security was upgraded after 9/11, but certainly Somali jihadis are a concern because of their physical proximity.
Jews there are migrating to suburbs farther south anyway.
..................
Many Synagogues in the US, the ones that can afford it, have had tight security for decades. I've read estimates from 10,000 to as many as 25,000 military and police to protect the Synagogues and other institutions of 500,000 Jews in France. It's potentially a very large and very expensive proposition. And no, while congregants should be able to be armed, that's not the same as the 24/7 security necessary in Europe. With Church vandalism and attacks running at a rate of 600-1000 per year in France, the Sunday people are next. Probably better we don't import the culture.
They talked about everything BUT what they acually should do,
Cell phones and flee? Give me a break.
Seems like they are.....
Do cattle cars ring a bell. They need to ARM THEMSELVES.
The congregant who is armed is only protecting/defending him/her self and family. Protecting the whole group is not within his/her purview. And I would say the same for a school teacher, or school office worker.
