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 school thing is very unlikely if, as in California, most schools are surrounded by a fence, and all doors are not accessible from public streets and roads, as in Beslan.

Muslims have as much access to our schools as anyone else does --- they can get jobs as janitors, as teachers, or they can register their own kids and as parents have access to the school, and the muslim students could do just as Palestinian kids have done --- be used to deliver the bombs on their own bodies. Their own parents would detonate the bombs when they got inside --- and they would be instant Islamic heros and martyrs.

One busload of kids would be horrific - but would not have the numbers needed to be a true Al Quida style terror attack. They would rather take out the student body of a large inner city school. The more minorities killed and injured the more hatred would be generated against law enforcement for “disregarding the lives of minority children”.
Not only would they have the hundreds of deaths needed, but they would also stir up a lot of hatred against our system.

Most Americans have guns and know how to use them. Quite a few are ex-military. This gives us a huge advantage if we use it.

But the problem is that it won't be used. You see, once you're no longer getting a paycheck from the government and are not part of the chain of command, you're not trusted. At that point you're just another sheeple that is considered to be too stupid and/or evil to do anything at all on your own without a government shepard waving his crooked staff to direct you and the other members of the herd.

No, more likely, any "civiiiiiiiiiilian" that shows up to help will get arrested and thrown under the jail in the majority of jurisdictions in this country.

First-the excerpt was beside the point

The hell, it was. You used Steyn, because you knew that otherwise hardly anyone would read your vanity. Now you say his words were beside the point. Then why did you use him? So, you're a ripoff artist AND a hypocrite. I'm liking you more with each post, Pal.

Two- the link was posted #66 were you too lazy to see it?

This may surprise you, but I don't have time to read 66 posts on a vanity thread from a guy who rips off Mark Steyn, doesn't link to him, and then denies that Steyn was even important. You might as well say your mama was beside the point, because without Steyn, you had nothing. Speaking of which, does your mama know that you're ripping off Mark Steyn and then denying that he's important? Never mind; I don't need to get into the topic of rattlesnakes.

Are you the town scold?

It's a hard, thankless job, but someone's got to do it.

Three- You need a laxative there Mohommud. You're wound up a little tight.

Thanks for the advice, Judas.

Personally, If I had to bet, I would bet Texas would be targeted.

Texas has fastest growing mid eastern population in the country, Houston/Dallas are crawling with these people, and it would be a direct attack on the President's home state. A brutal slap in the face it you will, a nasty statement.

Yep, colleges are doing it now. The number of online courses that have hit the internet lately for colleges is beginning to climb rapidly.

We need to push for this for our K through 12 kids as well. It only makes sense.

No to a vastly reduced risk of catching diseases, no to a vastly reduced risk of kids being taken hostage in a situation like Beslan.

There are just too many pluses and not enough negative for it not to happen soon.

BUMP

A few talking heads on TV tonight were discussing the possibilities of a school attack here. I was really surprised that the liberals would even mention it.

I fear that any such attack on American children like the one in Russia would be met with a very angry mob toward the perpetrators. Most likely it would end in instant justice.

That, in fact, is what happened in Russia. However, it resulted in too much confusion, and several Russian commandos were apparently killed by friendly fire.

This would NEVER happen in the Minnesota metropolitan school districts - ever. As one poster already said, in the RAT enclave of the cities, they identify with the terrorists already. A couple days after 911, they held a candle-light ceremony at the capitol and had an Islamic speaker and they prayed for peace and no more violence. An attack might wake up a few, but it would not change the nitwits in the city core, local leadership and it sure as hell wouldn't change the tone of the Red Star Tribune. Remember, we gave the nation Paul Wellstone and we have openly Marxist weasels in our government and legislature. They would cave like France and mewl like kittens for peace and understanding.

I did these drills as well. We got under the desks and covered our heads with our coats. It was real. I used to think that I'd just take off and go home if we got nuked because I'd rather be killed or trapped at home with family than with a bunch of wankers and teachers.

The hospitals in Minnesota are full of Samali immigrants, and while I want to believe they are all here for the purpose of bettering their existence, there is something very discomforting about knowing that these very same people dragged our soldiers through their streets. If any of these people were so inclined to terrorize us by causing devastation in the hospitals or schools it would be easy.

What was said at one time about attacks on the VA hospitals is also very troubling because the majority of the nursing staff is from other countries in many of the hospitals. I don't understand this. We complain that there are not enough jobs, yet our hospitals are essentially run by foreigners in many cases. Why? Am I just becoming paranoid?

That would be the end of Islam in America. That would close the borders. If I were an illegal of any nationality I would flee that day. Because it wouldn't be that old nice Baptist Mr. Ashcroft who'd be coming for me. Not to mention the Islmic hordes, they'd just be praying to get out of this country alive.

Elect john kerry and see how quick after that it happens.

Would love to think you're right.

I'm skeptical. I suspect the puppet masters would not give up such a high priority project so easily--regardless.

And they have incredible power at their disposal--of a great variety of types of power.
