If my take on the news is accurate, M. Vickers is lucky to be alive, not by the gunman, but by the seemingly indiscriminate volley of shots from his " backup". I could be mistaken, and I have no doubt some helpful soul will point out my misconception .

You could well be right. I'd have to have a lot more information to be sure, but I was scared when I heard all those shots and remembered all the stone in the building.

this should really have it's own thread

did you see the link of his take down reinacted....it was like Rambo and Rocky combined...I can't even believe a human being could jump from behind the same column as the gun man, land on his gut, turn onto his back and empty his gun into him...it is beyond thinking

Training and 20 years of experience probably helps. Also helps that the shooter wasnt exactly on the ball.

Absolutely.

And they are apostates from Islam......obviously, because Islam demands Muslims must not take the infidels as friends (3:28), and that is the very mildest of instructions on how to treat the infidel. The others include beheading, crucifixion, and war.

Of course the majority of Muslims are decent people.

But they are not truly followers of Islam.

How would you know that?

Because many years ago when our Colpy was a boy (many many years ago), he got separated from his chums on Sugarloaf Mountain. There the Virgin Mary appeared to him and told him he was the chosen one. There would come a time when people disagreed about the true meaning Islam and only he would know the answer. It was his mission to educate the poor randos on the internet. Not an Islamic scholar, a scholar of religion, Muslims themselves or even someone who has read the Quran, but that poor Canadian boy.

No need to be an expert......
Maybe you can help me by pointing out at least one attack by a Christian?

How's that going to help you?

it means our side is safe from a statistical perspective....of course it's only safe until it isn't

in fact some people might think walking into other countries and taking what we need under the guise of helping might just might be a similar act with bigger consequences and may well strike the kind of fear into another cultures heart that ISIS strikes in ours...

just saying...perspective

The Centennial Olympic Park bombing was a terrorist bomb attack on the Centennial Olympic Park in Atlanta, Georgia on July 27 during the 1996 Summer Olympics. The blast claimed 1 life and injured 111 people, while another person died of a heart attack. It was the first of four bombings committed by Eric Robert Rudolph.[1] Security guard Richard Jewell discovered the bomb before detonation and cleared most of the spectators out of the park. Rudolph, a carpenter and handyman, had detonated three pipe bombs inside an ALICE Pack. Motivated by what he considered to be the government's sanctioning of "abortion on demand," Rudolph wanted to force the cancellation of the Olympics

It'll always be safe. Because when a Christian terrorist attack is carried out Colpy, our authority and what is and what isn't Islam and Christianity, will say it's all fine because it's not true Christianity, but an Islamic attack is actual Islam and so-called 'moderates' are just deluding themselves.

don't know what Colpy will say but for me, there are good people and bad and varying degrees along the continuum...that's about it

as for profiling goes...I am mixed on that


if medium height blue eyed blondes were doing acts of violence, I might not be surprised to be handled a little differently than red heads with green eyes

I don't know the hair and eye colour of drone operators. I don't think it matters. Though their leaders tend to be gray haired.
