December 3, 201510 yr You know' date=' if you and I got to know each other I think that you may see we have a lot in common. One of my closest friends on here is MNT Ref, I have been messaging back and fourth with him for over a year on certain issues.[/quote'] You're not stupid, you just seem to really struggle with the fact that America and other parts of the world are under attack by a certain group. At some point, you will reach your breaking point and come to the other side. Until then you will continue to try to be the middle man.
December 3, 201510 yr How many more Americans are you willing to sacrifice? There is no blood on my hands. I want to protect America. I'm in touch with reality. Here. Let's link your drama-queen quote to Kate Smith singing "God Bless America."
December 3, 201510 yr Well come to think of it the Islamic guys usually doesn't wear mask... Hmmm... And they dont try to escape.

At some point, you will reach your breaking point and come to the other side. Until then you will continue to try to be the middle man. ok, I'll tell you this, a number of people know this already. But my career is right in line, in part with this stuff. I have taken numerous counter terrorism training. If my surgery goes well in a few weeks I'll be able to reschedule the course I was due to take in Israel in March, now I hope to take in in the summer, I hope. We have threats from inside and out, and we have too many people who don't give a crap about themselves or others. If this was domestic, it won't be the last. If it wasn't from the outside, it will come soon enough, it's coming!
December 3, 201510 yr Here is some food for thought. Told my wife this tonight as the media and others were saying that the usual radicals do not wear masks or try to get away. That would seemingly make sense....BUT Maybe not so now. The USA is harder to get into than lets say Europe ( but if some had their way it would be much easier) and why would they not try to get away so they could strike again. Im sure the higher level leaders in ISIS and other terrorist organizations are smart enough to figure out that if you could get away in the USA and live to strike again, that would only be smart. You can blow yourself up or get killed the next time and meet your 70 virgins. Just a little common sense. Times are a changin....
December 3, 201510 yr Calling a Terrorist a Terrorist isn't Islamophobia. We'll know soon enough if there was a Terrorist element to this or if this was just a crime by a Muslim man and a woman. IED's if found would make it hard to say the weren't in some way influenced by what has happened in other places around the world. "Terrorism" is a loaded term. I don't think there's a simple definition. In my mind, the Planned Parenthood clinic attack in Colorado Springs definitely was domestic terrorism. If this San Bernardino attack was more than the targeting of a specific person attending the Christmas party, then, yes, this also qualifies as terrorism. And if Farook was receiving guidance, money, etc. by this country's enemies overseas, then that ramps it up much, much higher.
December 3, 201510 yr Roy Hibbert with arguably the least thought out Tweet ever... Roy Hibbert ✔ @Roy_Meets_World Despite losing games left and right my heart hurts more for those affected in the #SanBernardino shooting.

FBI definition: involve violent acts or acts dangerous to human life that violate federal or state law; Appear to be intended (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and -------- The last part not listed defines international and domestic. Sandy Hook, by definition was not terrorism.

How could you say the PP shooting is without a doubt domestic terrorism and this not be. 14 murdered and 17 injured. They didn't target one person. At the very least both are domestic terrorism. We know the PP was a lone crazy dude. This is an organized attack by multiple people.
December 3, 201510 yr Also, the TSA is terrified about possible upcoming events. With 3D printers, it's only a matter of time.
December 3, 201510 yr There was another mass shooting in Wednesday. A shooter killed one and injured three in Georgia.
December 3, 201510 yr There was another mass shooting in Wednesday. A shooter killed one and injured three in Georgia. What classifies as a mass shooting? Based on some definitions I've read...that wouldn't fit.

If the story line plays out like it well might in San Bernardino, then this attack likely will surpass Colorado Springs on the terrorism scale. Isn't that what I said in post 232?

The point is now your a hesitating to call it terrorism , with PP you weren't. The pattern is telling.
