WASHINGTON — The nation’s top homeland security official urged shoppers on Sunday to be “particularly careful” in visiting the Mall of America, a sprawling shopping center outside Minneapolis, after it was targeted for a terrorist attack in a video posted by a radical Islamist group.

“If anyone is planning to go to the Mall of America today, they’ve got to be particularly careful,” the official, Jeh C. Johnson, the secretary of Homeland Security, said on CNN.

Warnings like this could have a useful purpose... like when traction devices are required during heavy snow on the passes. Example Below:

D - H - S *** S - P - E - I - A - L *** A - L - E - R - T

ATTENTION THERE HAS BEEN A THREAT MADE AGAINST SHOPPERS AT THE MALL OF AMERICA. ALL SHOPPERS WILL BE REQUIRED TO EITHER HAVE OR BE ACCOMPANIED BY SOMEONE WITH A CONCEILED WEAPON PERMIT AND A LOADED FIREARM IN GOOD WORKING CONDITION.

This looks suspiciously like a fabricated “threat” to keep the Repubicas from cutting off DHS funds so Obama’s Free Stuff for Illegals program can be funded. They lie to get ther way all the time.

That is exactly what I suspected when I saw the headline.

More likely they would act as facilitators for some mentally unbalanced actors.

LOL. Agreed. But that's about as likely as Obozo admitting he was Kenyan born.

Best response yet!

“If I was President I’d ask the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to announce this:
‘If anyone is planning to go to the Mecca today, they’ve got to be particularly careful.’”

Ask Yourself have you traded you Rights for a false sense of security??? If they Cannot Name the Enemy(EVIL) then how in the heck can you plan and Address it??? This is TREASON!

http://video.foxnews.com/v/4076023836001/safe-at-home-dhs-secretary-cant-say-us-is-safe-from-attack/#sp=show-clips

Do You Still Deny Evil? (obama and this administration do, for they are Sided (Aiding and Abetting) this Evil! Treason!

Do you know how to call Evil Out?

Why Have you Not Done So?

I Say Again!

I am so tired of hearing it’s not all muslims or its not islam... Hey
wait a minute even if you’re not the one that committed the act, if your
one supporting such acts and egging on for more, Yes You are JUST as
Bad.. SO Where are the Moderates? If you do Exist its time to STAND UP!

The Enemy is within and until we deal with that Enemy we will Never be able to Deal with the Enemy’s outside the Nation!

Anything that makes as much sense as that WILL NEVER HAPPEN with obama as president. Nobody in Washington ever does or says the obvious anymore. Sometimes a mayor from NYC does though....

Well as I am sure you know... he did that long before he was president:

You will probably take a lot of flak (pun?), but you are right.

This is why bombing is standard MO for Moslems. They aren’t dumb. Add in secrecy of smuggling in those explosives and you pretty much have maximized death toll in an instant even with armed people/security/police in the area. Firing guns takes too long, to boot - can’t kill as many as fast. Never mind the fact they love to kill themselves while performing. That REALLY helps negate guns in the area.

Be particularly careful is the advice? I guess that would mean be on the lookout for Muslims. But we are not allowed to do that. That is profiling. Gee, what are the odds of seeing Muslims in Minnesota? LOL
