Terror group tells British-based fanatics to stay hidden in the UK and wait.

 

1. Did some article shopping over the weekend and found a few things you all might like;

   “A group of four people attempted to break into a home in San Antonio, Texas by removing an air conditioning unit from a window and crawling inside. The homeowner responded to the break-in by retrieving a gun and firing at the intruders, striking and killing one, and causing the others to flee. A knife and a bag, containing a gun and burglary tools, was found next to the body of the deceased intruder.”
   ===========================================================
   “Then I see the idiots claiming that they’re only worried about the quality of the regular people with guns… Liars. But okay, thought experiment time. Say there was a proposed law for a federal “super permit”, where if a regular person could pass a rigorous background check and, oh say, the same firearms qualification as an FBI agent, that individual would then be allowed to carry a gun anywhere in the fifty states a federal agent could, and ignore things like idiotic gun free zones, or could carry a gun in states where concealed carry is banned.
   This doesn’t replace state laws. Heck, make the federal super permit really hard to get. Have it require a really high level of proficiency, a big knowledge of use of force laws, and one hell of a tough qualification. Make the applicant foot the bill for everything. And you know what? I bet you within a week we could still provide a million of my people as defense in depth, worst case scenario interrupters, spread all over America, for when bad things happen.

   Would these people so worried about our level of training be in favor of this? Of course they wouldn’t. They’d find some other reason to bleat. And murderous assholes will continue to target disarmed populations. Besides, this is just wishful thinking, because any federal program which would empower the general populace would be designed to suck and fail from the get go. Ask any pilot who went through the armed pilot training post 9-11 how easy the feds made that simple,obvious, no brainer program.”
   ============================================================
   This is just SAD; Poll finds 40% are cool with the government restricting speech that might offend minority groups. Which is dangerously close to a majority.

   We asked whether people believe that citizens should be able to make public statements that are offensive to minority groups, or whether the government should be able to prevent people from saying these things. Four-in-ten Millennials say the government should be able to prevent people publicly making statements that are offensive to minority groups, while 58% said such speech is OK.
   But there’s surprising support for this sort of thing among other generations too.

   Even though a larger share of Millennials favor allowing offensive speech against minorities, the 40% who oppose it is striking given that only around a quarter of Gen Xers (27%) and Boomers (24%) and roughly one-in-ten Silents (12%) say the government should be able to prevent such speech.
   ==============================================================
   Does Anyone actually Watch Meet the Press anymore?;
   “Notice that ISIS does something terrible, and the overwhelming thrust of the conversation on Meet the Press is that the American people have done something wrong and must look inside their hearts and feel guilty over the overwhelming racism and Islamaphobia in their society. News flash: We’re not the villains here. “

2. Had to save the best for last and it’s a doozy;
   Sgt. Ed Mullins, the president of NYPD’s Sergeants Benevolent Association, has created an online petition that is trying to change the NFL’s policy, which currently prohibits on- and off-duty, as well as retired police officers from carrying firearms into NFL stadiums.

   The petition has about 1,900 out of the 2,500 it is seeking, as of Wednesday afternoon.

   Mullins called the NFL’s rule “illogical.”

   “This is not only a law enforcement issue, it is a public safety issue that must be immediately addressed,” said Mullins an email. “NFL stadiums are often publicly funded and receive monetary incentives paid by tax dollars.”
   Thats right gang, if you go to an NFL game the Terrorists see you as sitting ducks.
   NFL policy is dead americans first so write them and tell them you disapprove.

3. Good stuff Rich and thank you.  Found some things here last day or two kinda close to your subjects, especially speech. 

   Have you seen latest insanity ( I have not had time to post but plan to)
   with regard to .... Yoga?

   Student union I think in Ottawa find Yoga offensive and has potential to offend blah,blah.blah ... and so a free course that had been going on for about three years,
   has been suspended. 
   AND .... It gets even worse than that if that is possible.  A New Orleans themed ball at two Oxford university colleges have been declared raaaaacist and could cause offense to blacks and women since ..... in the 1920s ..... there were NO women and NO negroes at Oxford.  These are university students for heaven sake.  The future rulers and decision makers and .... heaven help the next generation.
   

   Oh ...  on your last comment here ...  NFL stadiums and sitting ducks.

   Look up this loony tune.
   Jeremy Bernard Corbyn MP is a British politician. He is the Leader of the Labour Party and the Leader of the Opposition.

   He doesn’t approve of police killing terrorists. Has done a slight U-Turn as it’s caused him problems. He is VERY left of his own party and has opposition within.
