I’ve always thought that the 9-11 response was completely wrong.

Airlines should have issued heavy clubs to each passenger as they boarded the plane. They could be collected on exit.

Do the same with the subway. Once a few crazies get beaten to a pulp, this will all stop.

Archie Bunker went a little further, and he was right.

The problem is platforms are often packed.

If shots are fired the people on a platform can’t escape.

Interesting. The government creates a problem and then comes up with a draconian solution that requires the suspension of liberty for everyone. Sounds about right. Was that the plan?

The people on Flight 93 realized they had nothing to lose by putting up a fight.

Women have purses which can be swung hard.

Actually, the simplest answer is that she is stupid, and did stupid things that are endangering New York. And she wants people whom she likely despises to rush in and save her butt.

RATs create these cities for criminals to thrive and then they call in the military to use as cops.

These people are insane.

Do we really believe the Flight 93 story?

I agree the people on Flight 93 had nothing to fight with. They had nothing to overwhelm a terrorists with in a timely fashion and purses were never going to work.

American justice is based on the notion that those of criminal intent are in the minority. As should be obvious, 9-11 showed us that attempting to disarm everyone in case some are, is a really stupid idea, especially in a closed environment. The majority become defenseless.

As far as your other post about shots on a platform, I don’t really get it unless you are talking about more than has been happening, like a terrorist attack. I’ve never understood why a modern subway has exposed tracks that you can push people onto in front of trains. There can easily be a fully enclosed wall with doors. You could issue the clubs at the turnstiles, if you thought that would help.

National Guard (i.e. Army) is trained to kill the enemy and break things...not do law enforcement. Repeat offenders are the problem. If you lock them up the problem will go away.

Archie Bunker ALWAYS went further! And he was mostly right, too. I hope his creation gave Norman Lear ulcers.

She knows who butters her bread.

She’s doing this for election year show, and meanwhile, Upstate NY has less State police protection because she’s busy giving the appearance of doing something about the crime problem for her voter base.

But the leftists I argue with on Lefty websites said crime is down!

Sure. When you don't arrest people for crimes, it can look that way.
