Muslim Man with Switchblade enters school to ask directions??

Anyone remember what Bin Laden said? One Million America children must die.

They Muslims have plans to do just that. Overwhelm first responders first, have at the children afterwards....

Don’t think they don’t mean to do just that.

They lie in wait.

[mouse1]

It’s a great reference. It’s several years old, but I was told by a fellow freeper the numbers are still fairly accurate.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

An update on [1] this story. If you read the comments there, you will see one from a man claiming to be colleague of Abdulrahim Sulaiman, and saying that the incident was a harmless misunderstanding. That may be so, although not all the details of the explanation tally with the charges and the $5,000 bail here; in any case, school officials seem to be taking this incident very seriously indeed, if only as an illustration of what could happen.

Yeah, he could have walked in with a gun, along with a whole bunch of his buddies. Beslan II.

Looks like we should be in the 5% category.

Muslim Man with Switchblade enters school to ask directions??

okay stop. It wasn't a 'Switchblade'. This is from the article:

Police said Sulaiman was carrying a knife similar to a switchblade at the time of his arrest.

All he had was regular old two hand operating, folding lock blade, 'Stiletto style' knife like below, not a 'Switchblade' (Automatic knife).

If it was a 'Switchblade' his Bond wouldn't be a mere $5K ($500 cash and you're out).
And they're great for using as letter openers.

Thanks RaceBannon.

[RaceBannon]

You’re right.

“Police said Sulaiman was carrying a knife similar to a switchblade at the time of his arrest.”

that’s nothing like saying he was carrying a switchblade.

[darkangel82]

Just like Fort Hood.

*** ..and the guys on the planes (9/11) only had box cutters :^ ***

True. But that wasn't the point.

The point is the word 'Switchblade' being used and the connotations it carries -- evil, scary, bad knife, only used by gangs and criminals -- when in fact it wasn't a 'Switchblade', but a regular, old, common, folding, lock blade knife (I've had one of these 'stilettos' since 1969. Its now in an old tool box in my garage collecting rust).

The use of the word is akin to the lefty gun grabbers mind game of calling every 'scary looking rifle' an 'Assault Rifle'.

“Another reason to homeschool”...

Another reason to carry a gun.

Re: shooting in Cocoa Beach, Fla last night. Local Tv stations(5)had 5 different descriptions of weapon; High powered rifle, (2)assault rifle, 9 MM rifle and AK47!

If you are accused of being racist, disarm that person's accusation by telling them you are not impressed with their statement. Their comment was made to put you on the defensive...diffuse it with your comment and move on.

[Soothesayer]

The diseases of liberalism and Islam have spread to epidemic levels. If these deadly viruses aren’t eradicated soon and by ANY means possible, humanity will go extinct within 50 years.

[Soothesayer9]

And if it had been a redneck with a knife in Georgia, what would you have said?

You’d have said he had every right to it.

[Marine_Uncle]

"...the incident was a harmless misunderstanding.."
Yeah. Just like all the market stands being blown up in Iraq.

[Niuhuru]

I daydream at times of lynchings. If this were to happen, there would be lychings and it would be beautiful. Finally we stand up to the filth.
