The shopping malls of America will be among the next major terrorist targets.
Malls make such obvious high-value targets that it's difficult to grasp why they haven't been hit up until now. Shopping malls are America's marketplaces, constantly packed with people, with uncontrolled entry, and openly vulnerable to any given form of attack. We need only consider the darkest days of the Iraqi terror campaign of 2006-2007 to grasp how the jihadis view marketplaces. Scarcely a week went by without another Iraqi marketplace bombing, with casualties largely consisting of women and children, mounting from the dozens to the hundreds. We need only add the fact that the mall in many ways symbolizes the United States to people across the world, acting as kind of American Horn of Plenty, to see the inevitability of the threat. Such attacks will come, and they will be ugly.
Yes. The Bosnian Muslim who shot a lot of people in a Salt Lake City mall on Valentine's Day. Altho not discussed in the MSM, it was a jihad attack. He was given a martyrs burial in Bosnia. 2007.
A terrorist attack in a mall would be a boon to internet sales and the old style retail mom and pop’s. If these scum succeed at turning malls and walmarts into airports this will only push us into a different way of doing business.
My family and I no longer travel by air. Reason? The airlines and TSA have turned it into a PC mess. Since we stay in country driving is fine.
“You have nothing to fear about the malls... Gecko45 - the ultimate Mall Security Cop is on the job!”
That was great! What a laugh that guy is.
The Administrati0n is successfully destroying the airline industry with its ‘security’ policies.
At least the Dems are good at something.
Destroying commerce.
Big business, Airlines, Banks etc... better learn to recognize their enemy (DNC/American Socialist Party).
Boeing's long time lobbyist is or was Tom Dachles wife. That s#it just baffles me. As my bro who is a Boeing exec said, “without the military we would be dead”.

Unimaginative indeed, think of the 2007 Glasgow Airport attackers, both MD’s who slapped together a ridiculous propane-tank bomb and tried to drive their way into the terminal, unsuccessfully might I add, one of them was fatally torched.
They would have accomplished a lot more bloodshed had they simply taken two AK’s and all the loaded magazines they could carry and shot the place up. You’d think two med school graduates would be at least smart enough to know their limitations and think things through.
“Obama is doing everything he can to ensure that Americas shopping malls are no longer constantly packed with people.”
Yeah, that’s what I was thinking, they’re no longer the high value target they once were.
“It must be the jihadi lack of imagination that they are so ridiculously obsessed with airliners.”
Hell. if they really wanted to take out a lot of people, it looks like they would hit several unemployment offices in a few major cities on any given week day.

Remember the DC snipers? They killed ten people over several weeks. At the time, the thought occurred to me it might be an al Qaeda operation. But I quickly dismissed the idea, figuring if it was AQ, they would have ten sniper teams operating in ten major metro areas.

Darwin winners.
