I'm fairly certain the French will do something besides parking a car on the corner to engage them again. As for the police being at the event, I looked up the contract for rental of that venue. It's stated implicitly that for any event. Five security officers were to be provided at least one with supervisory experience. It was also left up to the venue to determine whether more security was needed.


When I linked it I also pointed out that ironically it was a gun free zone.

Sound policy then.

London been similiar since the 7/7 bombings though its abit more discreet.
Most large gathering points we have a couple of oinks with G36's or MP5'S nearby to pop out at a moments notice.
Same in glasgow too last time I was up there. They are sneaky buggers though as they are quite discreet when they want to be.

In all honesty The UK has much more knowledge to draw on about attacks like that. Because of the IRA days .

Your right.

Islamic terrorists are amateurs compared to them. IRA managed to pull a bomb off once a month at there very worst.

The london met have a ton of experiance and so do our intelligance services.

Has our President made a statement regarding this terror attack yet? Or will he just say it's regular violence?

When it comes to faild attacks its probably best to keep it discreet.

More attention you give the more power you give them and bigger martyers you make them.


Best to remove the rotting meat cremate them and stick the ashes in a unmarked spot and keep it out the spot light. Thats the worst thing you can do to terrorists, forget them.

I don't like classifying everything as terrorism, we throw that word around for everything now.

This was violence, would it be wrong to classify it as such?

a reply to: Sremmos80

Plus you acknowalge ISIS.

Branding it a random act of violence makes the action devoid of power and senseless.
Your basicaly srubbing them from history.

a reply to: crazyewok

Ya, the more you draw attention to it, the more they like it.

Fubar is SOP for that bunch of heathens.

a reply to: angeldoll

That seems to be a fact. In Paris they had to stop on the corner and ask directions.

I mean you can't make this # up!!

There a saying here about Texas Rangers.

"One riot, one ranger"

Looks for ISIS, one Texas officer.

I fear that ISIS may decide to actually get more heavily involved due to this failure. A shame the southern bordar has been neglected by the Feds for so long. Maybe it was the plan all along since it doesn't make good sense.

I don't really watch my tv anymore and with good reason. I only sat down for a brief moment for lunch. Fox News, or I should say Faux News said, "The terrorists was a pack of lone wolves". LOL

The power of fundamentalist Islam is its intractable intolerance which inherently appeals to the most ignorant because they are, in and of that fact, the most fretful -- i.e., ignorance begats fear, which in turn begats anger and so violence ensues.

Islam = 'to submit'.


"So fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief [non-Muslims]) and all submit to the religion of Allah alone (in the whole world)." (The Noble Qur'an, Sûrah 8:39)

I think its fair to say, don't f with Texas. Texas should pass a state law to publicly hang people associated with Isis if they still can do it for stealing a horse why not.

As an agnostic, maybe I just don't understand something about God/Allah/Etc. that is obvious to the devout. What I do not understand is this: If your Deity of choice is the almighty, powerful, omniscient, superhero that holds judgement over all, why the hell does anyone have to defend him and/or his honor? Isn't he big enough to take care of himself, and probably in a much better way than any mere mortal, could? I mean, really...what is up with this? Who wouldn't think twice about drawing a funny mustache on Allah, or some such, if the dude next to you that just did the same suddenly was struck dead by a lightning bolt, or had his testes shrivel up into raisins, and his daughter give birth to a dog like creature that has a tough time barking the word Grandpa? I would not mess with a God like that, and I doubt anyone else would either. Instead, if someone cracks a stupid 'your mama' type joke about their wonderful, all knowing, creator, they feel it is their duty to defend him. If people made fun of my dad when I was a kid, I might get upset, and ask them to stop, but I doubt there is anything that they could say, draw, write, or paint that would lead me to find a violent way to seek their death, and if I did, my dad would have been upset with me for not just ignoring such stupidity, and going about my own business. And, he surely would not demand that I find and execute those kids, over something so silly and immature. Allah, if real, is most likely wiser, smarter, and more fit to exact justice than mine, or anyone else's dad, and I think it is disrespectful to act as if he cannot take a bit of joking or disrespect. Still, even if he couldn't take teasing well, why not handle it himself, instead relying on his children to put themselves in harms way, and go over the top, to defend him. Is he that much of a coward? If that is the case, he doesn't seem like he deserves worship, as much as therapy, and maybe a anger management class or two. Anyone else agree?

Islamaphobe? She just showed what was waiting to happen sooner rather than later. I'm glad that cop got the drop.

Lesson learned in the United States, freedom of expression, means go against that and go see your prophet...

They kill just because, they kill for the excuse to kill...
You could make fun of their brutal religion, or just not be a follower, it's all the same and it all leads down the same path with them.
A violent reaction. You would be killed for being Christian just as easily as if you drew a silly picture.

What geller did was draw them out into the open, flushed them out.

Good tactic.

a reply to: MagmaCumsLouder

Straight from the Quran, and straight from the lips terrorists chant over and over as they prepare to attack. A war is coming. Actually it's been happening for 10 years, its just been getting worse.

The front line of defense won't be the white house, it's going to be common everyday law enforcement, under our current leader we have no safety. Weakness, soft yellow underbelly shown.

We have a reluctant president who has his head in the sand since the first day he took office, and since that time, terrorism has metastasized throughout the whole world.

Yeah, reality bites, but reality is reality, just because you want to look the other way or click your heels 3 times doesn't mean everything will just be fine...

a reply to: crazyewok

Yeah, right. Let's do that and be shocked when another building full of people comes crashing down, or another plane full of passengers comes screaming toward the ground.
