And then there's the police chief who encourages self defense.

Terror group ISIS reportedly has 71 trained soldiers, at least 23 of who are ready to carry out attacks in 15 states similar to the shooting on Sunday at a cartoon contest featuring images of the Muslim prophet Muhammad in Garland, Texas.
"Out of the 71 trained soldiers 23 have signed up for missions like Sunday, we are increasing in number," reads the warning, posted on a file-sharing site and attributed to Abu Ibrahim Al Ameriki, the moniker of an American believed to have joined a terror group in Pakistan several years ago. "Of the 15 states, five we will name: Virginia, Maryland, Illinois, California, and Michigan."
Fox News reported that U.S. officials are looking into the threat, but believe it comes from a low-level militant rather than ISIS leadership.
The threat makes reference to Sunday's incident in Garland, where two terror suspects opened fire outside the Curtis Culwell Center, but where shot dead by a police officer after wounding a security guard.
The event was hosted by political blogger Pamela Geller, president of the American Freedom Defense Initiative, in response to the controversial Islamic "Stand with the prophet" conference held at the same Texas location on Jan. 18 that featured New York-based Imam Siraj Wahhaj, who was an alleged "co-conspirator" in the 1993 World Trade Center bombings.
The online posting reads: "The disbelievers who shot our brothers think that you killed someone untrained, nay, they gave you their bodies in plain view because we were watching."
ISIS, which has captured cities across Iraq and Syria and has been hit by airstrikes by the U.S. and a broad coalition of allies, claimed responsibility for Sunday's incident, and said that more attacks are to follow.

Woohoo. Just try northern Michigan. You thought Texas was responsive?
There is a rifle in a pickup on every corner on my drive to work.
There’s a prison in Coldwater.
It wasn’t a problem till some genius decided to build housing for families of inmates so they would be nearby. Inmates used to do their time and go back to where they came from. Now they stick around.
I don’t know. Just Coldwater. I think it was on 9-10 news....something about terrorist camps in the entire country with a star on Coldwater.
“That was a one and done.”
True, but you miss my point. We can mock the low numbers being claimed by ISIS, but we must never forget that even lower numbers created much grief for thousands.
They are telling us what they are going to do. I suggest that we take them seriously. OBL told us he would bring the towers down, we mocked it at our own peril.
We need to adopt the Israeli mindset.
Two murderous mohammedan pig-suckers kept the entire Washington, DC area hopping for 3 weeks ... and only got caught because one of them in particular was an idiot.
you are right. But no one listens. Power Grids not protected adequately. Nuclear reactors aren’t. We let arch enemies make ridiculous deals with us.
My frustration gets the best of me.
No problem FRiend. I understand the frustration.
In addition, I am in total agreement with you that our power grid is in grave danger. I am sure that ISIS has it on their wish list. So do the Norks and Iranians......
That is why I posted that poem earlier. Society can sit in denial all they want, but reality will eventually return with a vengence.
They are the REAL culprit. Constantly throwing gas on the fire and fanning the flames.
WHY don't they employ the same strategy that they use in Obozo's news coverage cycle. It's SIMPLY NOT REPORTED as if it never happened.
Yeah.. that's the ticket! /s
I didn’t see the poem.
Check out post #84. I think you will like it.
Wow. Powerful poem.
To avoid an American Beslan, I’d like to see every school bus driver and every school custodian carry concealed at all times.
A school bus carries enough young cherubs to make an adequate terrorist target by itself, plus they are not in a fixed location where countermeasures could be prepared.
Is a school building is open, from the first morning class to the final girls’ basketball team at night, there is ALWAYS a custodian in the building. As an added benefit, many custodians are veterans while very few are pinheaded Ivy League bed-wetters.
Screw the law about no guns on school property. Be discrete and we’ll all be just fine.
Somebody please give them a map to the North GA mountains. The welcoming committee awaits. :-)
I have to ask though, embarrassing as it is.
what is meant by The Gods Of The Copybook Headings.
I understand the overall meaning of the poem. But feel I might be missing an important piece.
ISIS probably won’t hit Wash DC during the current administration, for obvious reasons.
Texas aint Paris—Our Cops carry Guns and know how to use them. You will find that once Americans are angry they can be terrible foes—Doubt it? Ask any German or Japanese you meet.
And in other news Imam Obama is bringing unknown numbers of Syrian ‘refuges’ to a city near you. Dearbornistan is a no go zone Islamic stronghold. And little Mogadishu in Maine is a Somali cesspool.
Nothing to worry about folks. The federal government has it all under control It’s those veterans, Christians, and old ladies we have to worry about.
