WASHINGTON — The nation’s top homeland security official urged shoppers on Sunday to be “particularly careful” in visiting the Mall of America, a sprawling shopping center outside Minneapolis, after it was targeted for a terrorist attack in a video posted by a radical Islamist group.

“If anyone is planning to go to the Mall of America today, they’ve got to be particularly careful,” the official, Jeh C. Johnson, the secretary of Homeland Security, said on CNN.

Would Barry orchestrate a mass casualty attack on a mall in order to get Congress to FULLY fund the DHS? I guess we’ll find out. Remember the timing of Sandy Hook, right before the start of Barry’s attempted ‘gun grabbing’ 2nd term.

From my understanding the establishment has to ask you to leave... if you dont then you can be arrested. So always carry.

This is just a wild, crazy thought but MAYBE, just MAYBE if we hadn’t dumped 50,000 Somalis into Minnesota, and left them in their ****hole country, we would have to worry about threats to the Mall of America. Foolish thought I know.

The State Department mandarins who got to feel better about themselves by dumping these creatures among the peasants should be subject to felony murder charges for every innocent person killed by them.

But people are not supposed to be careful, but “particularly careful”.

Wait. Nobody knows how to be “particularly careful”. What does that even mean?

“particularly careful”.

Let me translate:

"We're incompetent and clueless. Watch yer own *ss."

I’m not sure what good firearms are against a suicide bomber.

There have been several cases in Israel of armed citizens "taking out" a suicide bomber before he could detonate his bomb. No guarantees, though.

The Islamist terrorists don’t issue warnings about where they’re going to attack.

Just another government created crisis to keep the public alarmed and reminded of how important they are to protecting us serfs.

Just imagine how defenseless we would be if the Republicans defunded DHS.

how do I ‘be careful’ at a mall???

Easy. If you see a raghead or a burka keep a safe distance in case it explodes.
