More isolated Ukrainian live fire?

Why are we supplying the terrorists with ideas on how to mass kill us?? The logic escapes me!! They're sadistic enough as it is, and they don't need any help from us.
To: sonserae
If this is the strong terrorist attack for which many people have been holding their breaths, we don't have much to worry about.
To: CyberAnt
They're not lurking at Free Republic, I am very sure.
CyberAnt, I've seen overhead camera shots of 1500 or more people milling around outside LAX and Hartsfield Airports during one of their panicked evacuations. The foolishness of that policy, and the vulnerabilities it created, was fairly obvious.

CNN reporting "two in custody, not considered suspects."
Yet.

From what I understand three Israeli people were shot and the shooter appeared to be Arabic.
As for this being a terrorist attack, you betcha! How is it possible for someone like this to get a gun into the airport? How is it possible for that same shooter to have knives on them as well?
One must remember that the FBI also had prior knowledge of the 9-11 attack. What makes one not believe the FBI didn't have the heads up on this one too? How is it possible for the Israeli government to see this as an attack yet our own government is too stupid to figure that out? From what I understand, LAX was not built for safety reasons; rather it was built for convenience. Our security experts are a laughing joke in other countries. To call themselves "experts" is a joke.
To: JimSEA
You make a good point. I understand that this shooter had no identification on him. It'll be interesting to see what the FBI can come up with this time.

LOL. The Rental car lots are in Torrance.

More isolated Ukrainian live fire? Yep, at a wedding celebration (local custom, don't ya know?)...
To: Thumper1960
Do yourself a big favor: buy a gun and get a CC. You, and your community's safety, depends on you. That's just 'bout where we are heading right now. I heard on the news today while this was being reported that, "American may have to relinquish some of those freedoms for the sake of security". Sounds like complete bs to me. I'm not giving up mine. Locnload!
To: ArneFufkin
Yes, they did. According to FBI Agent Robert Wright, who is being represented by Judicial Watch, Wright went on C-Span on May 31 to tell his side of story about the FBI trying to retaliate against him and defaming him for his exposing their prior knowledge of the 9-11 attack. You damn right they and that is why they are sweating it right now! Their ass is on the line and they all know it!
To: Dr. Eckleburg
Yeah, that's what I was thinking too when I heard that! So much for security measures.
To: goldilucky
Wasn't it shortly after this that they announce a reorganization of the FBI?
To: goldilucky
My understanding is that the FBI knew something was a foot, but too late to stop it. The FBI is a joke these days, they can't even solve the anthrax attacks.
To: hoosiermama
Yeah, and what happened? What re-organization? The FBI is a complete sham.
To: seeker41
My understanding was they knew what (airline hijacking) but didn't know when or where!
