I don’t know, perhaps it’s easy for me to say from the comfort of my keyboard but I am amazed at how passive these ISIS victims are, they can’t do any worse to you than what you know they are just about to do to you. A little defiance will change the way you are remembered as a proud hero or a defeated victim, it’s the only choice you have left and they can’t do a damn thing about it.

I remember those Italians who told the Moslims where to go before decapitation a few years ago. I imagine it had been a long year for this journalist. I judge no one’s tortured death. God rest his soul.

Just what I was saying, and I’ve had my life threatened twice and to the extent of this guy, once having a gun put to my head while driving a taxi and once having a gang shoot at me while driving 100 mph to escape (the good old days of New York city in the 1980s) and believe me, the fight or flight reflex never leaves, ever...it’s what saved my life both times. The gang chasing me, I escaped by the skin of my teeth just by sheer luck of having a tractor trailer cut them off. Without question they would have killed me, the back of my car looked like swiss cheese from the bullet holes when I pulled into the cop station. Plus my mouth went completely utterly dry both times making it impossible to talk, I remember the cop laughing at me, he thought I was retarded or something, yet this guy talks perfectly clear like he’s giving a news broadcast. I call BS on this. I have no doubt he’s dead, but I have a high suspicion he’s a radical lefty who was willing to give his life for “the cause”. If that was me, and by some miracle they got me to kneel submissively like that, I would have been cursing them out non-stop as soon as that camera went on, calling them every name in the book, child raping mofo scumbags.

Isis prefers decapitation because it’s painful. They even admire poor work because it makes it even more painful.

Islam is the Demons answer to Christianity. Until people wake up to that fact, it will never be dealt with properly. This crap where they say the son of the Demon - Mohammed - was born in 570 AD? Baloney. That’s a lie. The Demon likes to hide, deceive. Mohammed was born 666 AD. The number 6 figures prominently throughout Muhammad’s life. 6 months before he was born of a dog in the year 666, his “father” was killed. When he reached 6 years old his mother was killed. He “died” or as I like to say, returned to hell, in June the 6th month when he was in his 60s. Christ is of life and light. Islamic is of death and dark. This not wacko stuff, it really isn’t. I thought it was garbage until I looked further into it, this is some real evil ass stuff going on here.

Should point out that decapitation is not necessarily more brutal or painful than being shot to death or a host of other possible execution methods.

...I’m sure his last moments were greatly eased by pondering on that reassuring opinion...

...can’t imagine your purpose in making such a statement...

I can’t watch it, but I can be horribly upset and saddened that our world seems to be tumbling into total chaos in a New York minute.

I hope the evil that resides in our white house is turned out soon before it gets much worse.

Never has there been so much daily bad and/or horrible news!

RIP....James Foley. Even though I have no idea what your ideals were....

....can’t imagine what he endured before this.

He might have been praying for death...though not the barbaric torture of a death that he endured.

Such an awful event. Just seeing the video of this makes you want to fry the whole lot that is the Middle East. Here is the video, watch at your own content:

If you recall the run-up to Obama’s attempted Syrian War to be the Air Force for ISIS, in September, Foley’s disappearance was blamed on the Assad Regime:

A U.S. journalist missing in Syria for nearly six months is most likely in Syrian government custody, according to the GlobalPost, an online international news outlet, and the man’s brother.

Gunmen kidnapped James Foley on November 22 and his family has since worked to obtain his release. Foley, a free-lance journalist, contributed stories to the GlobalPost.

According to a GlobalPost story on Friday, its CEO and president, Philip Balboni, said in a speech marking World Press Freedom Day that the outlet has a “very high degree of confidence” that Foley was “most likely abducted by a pro-regime militia group and turned over to Syrian government forces.”

“We have obtained multiple independent reports from very credible confidential sources who have both indirect and direct access that confirm our assessment that Jim is now being held by the Syrian government in a prison or detention facility in the Damascus area,” Balboni said.

“We further believe that this facility is under the control of the Syrian Air Force Intelligence service. Based on what we have learned, it is likely Jim is being held with one or more Western journalists, including most likely at least one other American.”

“I think the should play the video on every TV in North America, with a prior warning for kids. I think every adult needs to see what is waiting for the rest of us if no action is taken.”

If that had been allowed to be done with the videos of the screaming leapers from the World Trade Center, there never would have been an “anti-war” movement in America, that prevented us from doing what we needed to to WIN.

Do you recall how terrified the TV libs were that 9/11 would help the “EVIL!” George Bush, and hurt Democrats?

“why does he go on a rant against the USA?”

A last, forlorn hope that by doing so, they won’t kill him.

“Why does his “beheader” speak in an English accent?
Last week it was posted on FR that at least 200 UK citizens are fighting with ISIS.

An easy thing to say when it isn’t actually you. History is full of examples of millions going meekly to their doom.

Any “fight” in this guy was likely beaten out of him a long time ago.

This idiot got exactly what he deserved, IMO.

Journalists are not “out of bounds” or “Immune” to reality, and I have little sympathy for his ultimate fate. He got himself into this situation and it cost him his life.

Too many “journalists” believe they are “above it all” and seem to have an unbelievable arrogance that transcends reality. That disposition is apparent in almost every “reporter” these days and is a disgusting belief that displays their mindset, which is they are “different and more important” than the average person.

It sucks to see something like this happen, but I will neither mourn nor care for his fate. He brought this upon himself and that’s just too damned bad.

Moron.

ISIS has been overrunning Syrian government positions. They may have gotten him from a Syrian detention facility.

...and we don’t know what he went through. Enemy captivity can break strong men. Not everyone can be a Lance Sijan, refusing to break during torture and dying a hero’s death rather than help the enemy’s cause.

Well read my other posts, I was in the same situation. Not once did I take sides with the scumbags who wanted to kill me. This guy was completely relaxed and speaking in a relaxed tone which tells me he was acting in concert with the animals.

Tinfoil alert........could Obama’s mysterious return to DC have something to do with this murder? I heard that he was “briefed” about on AF1 during his return flight to MV.
