Keep Calm and Carry On ? Vanity
November 1, 2017

Posted on 11/01/2017 3:15:34 AM PDT by SMGFan

After the events in NYC is this pretty much the only advise the authorities may give us? Would you attend the NYC Thanksgiving Day parade with your family?

No, but I hate crowds and haven't attended any parade in over 27 years...

Would be concerned about the parades and marathons but they are generally very well policed these days so are probably safer fro the "run of the mill" attacks despite being prime opportunities for mayhem.

I have not(and will not) gone to the $hithole known as New York City for 20 years. Before that it was only to change planes for two decades.

New Yorkers don’t meet to be told to act. Unfortunately, there will be a Temporary Teddy Bear Memorial somewhere on the bike path, getting in the way and clogging up the works. But they will hose off the West Side Highway and have it open for traffic by this afternoon.

You will notice an over abundance of police for the next week or two.

The (formerly Macy’s) Thanksgiving Day Parade will be well attended. This incident will be ancient history by the weekend.

iPhone expect that the young, earnest priest in my church will be banging on about this at great length on Sunday. And everybody in the congregation will be scratching their heads and wondering what he is talking about. The seven day news cycle that the priest uses is about 6 1/2 days too long.

In this day and age avoiding large crowds in confined spaces is common sense. Remember, the elites don’t give a damn whether you live or die.

There were 8 Million people in New York yesterday afternoon. 7,999,992 of them were not killed by this moron.

More people die each weekend by conventional gunfire in a cow-town like Chicago than were killed in this incident.

"Keep Calm and Carry" sounds good to me.
Of course, not an option in New York City.

No. This is a call to action. The diversity visa program needs to be immediately halted by Trump. If he can’t do that because he needs the law to be repealed, he should be going down to congress demanding a bill repealing this monstrosity is introduced and voted on immediately. We also need to know which rino loving open border republicans allowed that bill to pass and which voted for it. They need to be outed and shamed out of our party. Trump and the rest of us need to seize this moment and press for change. Maybe it’s even time for Trump to just ignore the overstepping of leftist judiciary and reassert the executive branch’s authority to protect our borders. It’s time to say fuck you to these leftists and put an end to this crap.

Thanks for the totally insensitive comments over the deaths of 8 innocents and horrible injuries(amputations, spinal chord, etc.) of 15 more.

You belong at HuffPo.

Why the gratuitous comment?

The big events tend to get very good police protection so, yes, if I liked parades, I would go. They had the Village Halloween parade last night and I haven’t heard of any problems (unless I’m not well informed). It’s hard to control sudden jihad syndrome - except to get rid of all of them. Which is what the president wants.

Hey, if you want to crawl into a hole, that’s your business.

New York is getting up and going to work this morning.

Any place that won’t let me carry a personal defense weapon is a $hithole by my definition. I can see Kalifornia from my office window. I don’t go there anymore either.

It’s not personal to you or the solid folks from NYC, just the way I choose to live.
