Is that on the Richter Scale? ;-)
I was a student at UW-Green Bay when this happened. At the student cafe when the story broke on TV. Can’t believe it’s been 12 years already.
Someone posted some pictures this morning and it brought back so many memories. The one with the Firefighter carrying the baby will always stick in my memory! No matter what we must never forget!
Rudy Giuliani
So true!
Yes, we (at least some of us) learned that there are evil people , with evil intentions, that no matter what you do to stop them, they will still come at you. Billions spent on “Homeland Security” and they could not stop one lone mental case from killing dozens of innocent people...........It is up to the individual to provide their own security. The government cannot protect you 24/7/365. You, as an individual, are your own first line of defense, and the government is just a backup. The Kookciniches of this world want to take away that one last line of defense and leave you totally helpless to defend yourself............
You mean when Clinton blamed conservative talk radio for the whole thing...
You can’t secure yourself against bombs. There is no way. Nutjobs who shoot like the VT killer YES YOU CAN by carrying. But bombs no way. Too many people have been killed all over the world by bombs - even nations that carry guns around all the time.
It united the nation in anger. Then our esteemed president tried to blame conservatives for it. What a dirtbag.
Yes, bombs are the inevitable last resort of the nutcases and terrorists of this world. But, if every person, kept their eyes and minds open to the world around them, even then we might have a chance to prevent some of these horrors. The advent of IEDS is just around the corner for US streets, I am afraid. A religious fanatic has only to get a few pounds of explosives or a tanker truck to make a big noise on the evening news.............
Yes I agree. All over here in NYC they have signs by the NYPD that say “IF YOU SEE SOMETHING STRANGE SAY SOMETHING” and they give a number to call.
Lesson: execute one conspirator with lightning speed, and the identities of the other embarassing conspirators will never come to light.
I look at how much money we spend on super jet fighters, awesome war ships, military guns, etc. and none of them will protect us from fanatics with suicide bomb belts, nutcases like this guy at VT, the Timothy McVeys.
We are in a new age of warfare where we are all in danger at any time by crazed terrorists and kooks. Arm yourselves and be cautious—the govt. can’t protect us.
Strange for NYC, or Strange for Peoria?...........
LOL! Very strange for NYers who the idea of making eye contact as you pass them by is tabooo! ;-)
The signs say.......
IF YOU SEE SOMETHING SAY SOMETHING
The word strange is not in the sign at all.
