1. That super private and super expensive Latin School Terrorist #1 went to, what is their curriculum? Did a good portion of the school (classes and teachers) support the anti-American nonsense that Islam and other entities spew?
2. I got a queasy feeling yesterday seeing the overwhelming force go after a dangerous yet puny 19 year old. I have no clue how law enforcement could have handled it differently, BUT I can see how this big government response motivates a lot of future terrorists to do a lot of damage. They only need 10 puny terrorists to lock down 5 large cities. Dumb move if you ask me. I would have preferred a more elegant solution but that would have required a lot of good intel.
3.”But somehow when you get into the details of every script on TV, whether it's news, entertainment or the mixture we so often see, it's all subtly marching everyone in the direction of obedience to the police state.”
I think the propaganda was worse during WW2, but we won that war. This is a different time with a larger government with greater power over the individual.
It’s encouraging that, faced with a power grab by the government, people chose to stock up on guns and ammo.
I don’t know what school he went to but almost any college will have a heavy dose of “anti-American nonsense” and are overwhelmingly tolerant of the most fundamentalist style of Islam. At the U. of Dayton—a Catholic school-—you see the full burquas everywhere!!
