I LOVE your tagline. Yes indeed, you and I are in full agreement about Sheriff Joe.

The Sheriff Joe haters are directly responsible for the deaths of many American citizens in America each day, week, month and year because they are complicit in the disregard of US immigration laws currently on the books. When the head of Homeland Security goes after law enforcement for doing their job, it stinks to high heaven from her office to whoever instructs her to keep doing it. How can we have confidence in leaders like these?

Drug lords and terrorism

Snip: Simental wasn't a mere pot pusher. Authorities accuse him of carrying out 300 killings, including the assassinations of dozens of Tijuana police officers. He reportedly liked to behead his victims, hang them from overpasses or dissolve them in vats of caustic soda. He is reported to have sliced off the face of one victim and had it stitched onto a soccer ball. If this isn't terrorism at its sadistic worst, then what is?

Malls are the targets in Thailand, Philippines, and Indonesia. Why should America be any different? Just drive by , shoot and spray.Easy.

Good reason to justifty cancelling all 2nd amendment rights? Nah. We need at least 1 out of 3 Americans trained and carrying.

My gut feeling is that it will be schools that will be hit. In several states all within the same time zone, all at once. Suicide attacks, meant to methodically kill as many children as possible until the terrorists are killed. It would fundamentally change our lives because who would trust the schools to protect our children?

Terrorists would wipe out a school with no armed resistance whatsoever. The Federal Gun-free Safe Schools Act has guaranteed their safety, and don't the terrorists know it. You may be right, it would be only a matter of time before they strike and kill, and no law-abiding citizen can be anywhere near school property with a gun, even to use it in self-defense or to defend another's life is breaking the law. It's a gun-free zone.

Unfortunately, the Belt Way around Washington DC has been known to corrupt even some of the best of people.

We could vote out all of Congress in the next election, but nothing will ever change, because the staffers remain the same.

In late 2003, Nuradin Abdi, a Somali native, was arrested in Louisville, Kentucky while in the midst of plans to attack a mall in Columbus, Ohio.”

Polaris Mall, less than 1/2 mile from my home.

I NEVER go to shopping ‘malls’.

I live only a few miles from the Mall of America.

The thing I dread most is the next time a celbrity goes there to sign autographs and there’s tons of teenagers and their parents in the main rotunda area.

A towelhead could walk in and detonate a vest bomb and kill dozens of spectators in one shot. The carnage would be unbelievable.

A bomb blast like that, occurring in the heartland of America, could throw shockwaves thru this nation that we haven’t felt since 9/11. Many of us in the heartland had a disconnect of sorts from what happened on 9/11 because of the physical distance from New York and DC.

They’ve been saying this for years. IMO it’s a CYA warning - this scenario, of course is entirely possible but unfortunately the govt really has no clue what’s going to happen.

In Texas the customers are armed at times - so the jihadnutcases best stay out!

Thanks for the ping JP. These such scenarios have been discussed on TM in the past.

IF you HAVE to go to a mall, be aware of what is happening around you (situational awareness) and note the 2 closest exits.

Stay safe.

Malls are juicy targets for terrorists, so are bridges!

It seems like people prefer death to removing the source of the terror attacks.

Malls are not gun-free. CCW, mall ninjas, thugs, police, etc.

Elementary schools are gun-free. College classrooms are gun-free.

If it were at all feasible, the terrorists would have done it already.

Your premise is incorrect. It is obviously feasible...just look at the layout of every mall in the US. The question is, why haven't they done it?

I fully expected to see such attacks on Black Friday 2001. It would have sent our economy into a bigger tailspin than the one we actually experienced. The only reason I can surmise for it not happening is that the jihadis don't really understand us and don't realize how much this would affect us.
