    No thread on this, or is the NYC bombing taking up all the Red Room energy today?

    ISIS has claimed responsibility for a multiple-stabbing attack at one of America's sacred places of worship, er... I mean, shopping malls.

    If only someone had been armed, this tragedy could have been prevented. :(

    Oh, wait...

    Indeed, and somebody pointed out that people just weren't interested in Canada.

    sad really - he was about to begin Assimilation 101 next semester in college. Well I'm sure the mall patrons instigated it.

    Everyone says he was dressed as a security guard. Was he really a security guard? If so, was he some kind of unarmed security guard?

    One glaring flaw in the Democrats "ban guns" terrorism strategy is when the terrorist is the one with the government-sanctioned firepower. They tried to blame the Orlando nightclub massacre on a culture of anti-gay rhetoric and guns, when it was carried out by a gay security guard who'd wanted to be a cop.

    I was a security guard briefly many years ago - there are "armed" posts and unarmed posts. Armed posts generally pay more because they are more dangerous & demanding. The article isn't clear, but I think he was just dressed as a security guard. Not many security guards are armed with a knife. That said once in the army I had to guard the horse stables on post with the bottom part of a two-piece pool stick. :unsure: sorry, but if you are bad ass enough to steal horses on an army base I'm not going to do much to stop you with a pool stick. :no:

    If you take away guns, they'll use machetes, Jodi Arias not with standing. Bigger problem, these are very skilled with machetes; we are not; we use guns. We are more afraid of the machetes because our collective conscience hasn't had significant time to process that a gun is dangerous. We use knives in the kitchen. I can hack up a side of beef, most people can't. The machete is probably more survivable than the assault rifle. But, the former will make you faint if presented.

    More muslims, more terrorism. Yes, the only effective way to end Islamic terror is to remove the vermin infestation. Then there will be no more Islamic terrorism here.

    The Minnesota attack reinforces Dinner's point. The attacker came over when he was about seven years old. He grew up and was educated in America. After fifteen years of the best environment Minnesota could provide, he tried to hack a bunch of people to death in a mall in the name of Islam.

    Thank goodness the off-duty cop was armed and stopped this. In some countries even an on-duty cop would not have been armed! :( Regardless I'm pretty sure some police-brutality people will start bitching because the cop should have just shot the knife out of his hand or something. :drama:

    And how do liberals propose stopping such attacks when anyone can just wander into the kitchen section of Bed Bath & Beyond and come out with a meat cleaver and a ginsu knife?

    Nope, he should have threw his gun away and started twirling a leather jacket. :walz:

    Should we perhaps consider limiting how many knives a person can buy in a year?

    Clearly not enough leather jackets were in play.

    But since knives were at play, the situation, as it were, was largely minimized.

    In NYC it was bombs, in Minnie-soda it was a knife, in France it was a truck.

    It's not the weapon, it's the ideology.

    BBC already has some thugged out gangster looking Somali piece of shit claiming it is all white people's fault that Somalis are the most active ethnic grpup when it comes to terrorism. He claimed white people get more welfare than Somali refugees (which is a lie, we get jobs and work) so, he claims Somalis do not really feel American because they are not given enpugh welfare freebies.

    No shit, this third world muslim terrorist, animal filth, claimed we had to give pieces of dog shit like himself more welfare or there would be more terrorist attacks. I have a better idea, ban all refugees and noncitizens from ever getting a single cent in tax payer money. They can either learn English and get a job or they can starve to death. Of course, a much more effective policy would be to simply not let culturally incompatible animal filth into the country while you deport all the animal filth you can which has already wormed its way in.
