NY Truck Attack

Post by Brian Peacock » Wed Nov 01, 2017 1:24 am

Eight dead and a dozen or more injured in an ISIS inspired truck attack officially declared a 'terror attack'.

Too easy, this sort of thing, and, whatever authorities do in terms of bollards or whatever, there will always be opportunities...

I don't think even Galacticus Conspiritus Maximus would go for that one - too obvious.

Even Allah is annoyed at the stupid cyclists.
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

Obvious false flag attack! The so-called biking victims must have been actors and their bikes props, because a detailed analysis by NineBerry of the available video material shows these bikes are all mended and in no shape so that anyone could even try to ride them on a bike path!

This is why America needs internment. I'm not saying it'll be popular but the alternative of unfettered freedoms for America's enemies on it's own shores....hardly a good thing! Anyway I've sent this diatribe to Trump and hope to hear from him in the next twenty-four or forty-eight hours. :tea:

You should start a thread about this: Crumple's Enemies Of The People. You can't have a good pogrom without first drawing up a list.

My list of people left off my list is shorter than the list of people on my list, with these days. :tea:

It's a sad time we're going through. I miss the 70s, when all we had to worry about was nuclear annihilation by the Soviet Union. Such simpler times, then...

The thing that was interesting in the class was every time the professor said ‘Al Qaeda’ his shoulders went up, But you know, it is that you don’t say ‘America’ with an intensity, you don’t say ‘England’ with the intensity. You don’t say ‘the army’ with the intensity,” she continued. “... But you say these names [Al Qaeda] because you want that word to carry weight. You want it to be something.” - Ilhan Omar

In those days, for me, there was so much sex, drugs and rock'nroll that I had no time or energy to worry about anything...

How's this for an idea? (I expect to be howled down by a certain section of Ratzians...)

Authorities in western countries widely publicise the following policy (not to be used retrospectively, only after it has been widely publicised)

"Any mosques associated with a person who commits an act of terrorism will be permanently shut down"

That gives a clear incentive to mosque leaders and other members to expel fundamentalists and inform the authorities.

We have discussed this before. It's a nonsense idea. You can't expent people to look into the inside of every person that goes in our out of their mosque. Additionally, this will be a punishment for every community that tries to reach out to extremists to bring them back into the flock.

I'd like to see the response to the proposal if a poll was taken in a variety of western countries.

I suspect you'd be in the minority, 9B...
