you would think they would be a bit more careful when leaving thier homes. I know I am - I suspect my wife of placing IEDs near my car.

Are these people taking defensive measures or do they think they live in suburban Aurora kissing the wife in the morning and hopping in their car?

Time to place these brave political men and women under a protective umbrella until the chaos from the killers can be addressed. They will have nobody left that will serve and that is exactly what the nutball clergy want.

Well, this is what you get when you yield to the demands to get "the foreigners out"

You only invite more foreign terrorists in as well as breed them inside your own country.
