I fear an American child slaughter is planned (Minnesota)
opinion | 8 Sept 04 | FinalApproach29er

Posted on 09/08/2004 6:58:09 AM PDT by Finalapproach29er

An excerpt from Steyn's latest has me suspicious that a slaughter of schoolkids is planned for America soon-maybe before the election.

Here is Steyn excerpt:

Could what happened in Beslan happen in the US? Two months ago, the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reported on a fellow called Mohamad Kamal Elzahabi, a suspected terrorist who'd fought with his fellow jihadi in Chechnya and somehow wound up in Minnesota, where he'd applied for licences to transport hazardous materials and drive school buses.

***

Now, what if some less suspicious "white-looking" Chechen, or female, or some local recruit(s) starts driving school bus and and shows for work up one day and rigs a bus full of kids with explosives? Background checks can be defeated with enough planning. I doubt the enemy will make the same mistake twice.

We are catching way too many suspects up here in Minneapolis. Wonder if this is happening in your city also?

"This is an excellent idea but will never see the light of day because of the NEA, who have almost all Dem politicians in their pocket.

If the NEA saw its ability to continue herding American children into classrooms and indoctrinating them (out of sight of their parents), they would riot."

Let them riot. There are many more parents in this country than there are NEA members and politicians for that matter. If a terrorist act did happen in a school, no one would care a whit what the NEA thought about anything anymore. They would be irrelevant. They would cease to exist because they would have very few students and therefore no political clout.

Parents would pull their kids out in droves, thumbing their noses at both the NEA and the politicians.

It would be the end of how education is delivered in this country. The NEA promulgates PC multi-culti/homosexual indoctrination, etc., etc., dreck and the politicians pass legislation to back it up. They work hand in hand. They'll both be damned.

Nothing alarmist about your thinking. This is a very real possibility. I'm just afraid while we are concentrating on Schools..which is a good thing..the bad guys have moved on to other soft targets...malls...theaters...outdoor concerts...but, protecting our kids is of vital importance.

What no one wants to say is that there is one way, and one way only, to stop all of this nonsense.

We join with Russia (now......unfortunately; and only now due to the horrors of the last several days) and we make the following pronouncement to the world:

"We, the world's nuclear superpowers, offer the following ultimatum. Islamic terrorism of all kinds stops immediately. If not, here are the horrific consequences your world will face.

For the first attack, we will jointly attack and destroy Mecca with nuclear missiles. Another attack.....Medina is wiped from the earth. Each subsequent attack will be matched by yet more nuclear destruction of the Arab world's major cities one by one. No further warning, no matter how many are killed in a single terrorist attack. Whether five or ten or 100 victims, your attack will cost your people an entire city.

We await your response. Rest assured ours is ready."

Your comments are spot on.

The only thing you may have left out is that there is one slight chance that your response may not occur, and that is, if another 9/11 happens, only this time its 9/11 times 10 or 9/11 times 100. At that point, there is 2 choices to be made...either we actually do what needs to be done to retain our freddoms and our American way of life...OR the Feds have a power orgy implemented and justified "to keep us safe" and we become Police State USA TM. 3000 dead was not enough on 9/11/01.

If other FReepers actually participated in such drills, I would be interested to know.
Add me to the "duck and cover" drill list. Was in grade school in the 1950s on "Lawn Guyland."
Later in Junior HS we went into the hallway, faced the wall and covered.

I would hope the response would be to send in the special forces right off the bat, without waiting, as quickly as we could get them suited up and through the door.

Everyone tries to wait them out. Notice how Israel doesn't seem to have this problem anymore?

What the schools have to do, for one, is to get rid of those "Gun-Free Zone" signs plastered all over the place.

Great idea. I thought about it myself. The most important point is: they don't care about their children's or their own lives if their ideas are at full swing. What they care about is their religious landmarks, and lives of their religious leaders.

That's the target!

That would NOT be a wise thing.

No, if I was a terrorist, it would be the logical next step.

Note to bad guys: You think our response to 9/11 was powerful?

Not to demean the reasoning of going to war with Iraq (and I agree with it), but if an attack/hostage situation was to happen in an American school, all that it says is that our response was not powerful enough, and that @ home, we have not done the things necessary to prevent it (i.e. real border patrol, racial profiling, not issuing visas to Arabs for a period of time, etc. )

Try taking out innocent kids,and see what we do to your asses.Our patience is wearing thin.

Islamics are a leftist, protected class. And our own president gave the whole "Religion of Peace TM" mantra shortly after 9/11. My patience wears thin too. A shame we arent both elected officials with the power to do something about it. (sigh)

this is an open question to everyone and those here who are in LE. Taking it to a local level...i.e. Sheriff's of local areas. How would the local populace go about protecting their schools...community areas...in their towns? How would a plan be implemented? There have been many good thoughts on this thread. Someone much more capable than me, please compile a list of ideas.

giving guns to pacifists is a total waste of effort. They would surrender them in the first 5 seconds of an encounter in order to appease.

Exactly. The NEA would never go for it, anyway.

John effin Kerry would be sure that the students were well armed with government issued spitballs to repell a schoolroom hostage situation.

I fear they have (or are about to) awakened a sleeping giant and filled him with a terrible resolve.

I am not LE, but first step would be to implement some kind of system to call volunteer to a predetermined assembly point, like the local fire department building. Second step would be to Identify locals willing an able to lead and follow orders, third step would be to recruit the core of the volunteer unit.

After that circumstances would shape events.

Mistake of mine to ignore Farrakhan - had not heard this remark of his....

God will destroy America by the hands of the Muslims....God will not give Japan or Europe the honor of bringing down the United States; this is an honor God will bestow upon Muslims." – Nation of Islam Leader Louis Farrakhan

Thanks for giving me a heads up
