All I know is. If you ever hear of a government organised drill happening. Run for your life!

I just came to this thread. Its pretty funny reading the knee-jerk postings...right wing gun lobby, blah blah; navy seals, blah blah; government coverup, blah blah.

Its really very simple. When there's a terrorist attack, 99 out of 100 its Islamists. Take it to the bank.

Now the big issue is how to blame it on the USA. But that'll be easy for those of a certain leaning. After all, these kids (or their parents) asked for and were given asylum, rescuing them from whatever threats they sought to escape. then they educated the kids, offered and gave them scholarships, housing, access to all the advantages of a first world nation. Clearly therefore their radicalisation was all the USA's fault (sarc off).

the other big question is how to stop this in the future. Clearly we need background checks on those buying pressure cookers.

Indeed JG could win the next election by promising a pressure-cooker buy-back scheme.

The gun control activists blaming the NRA for the bombing would be the classic conspiracy.

Aided by the dude who pretends to be an avid redneck gun nut to trash lawful gun owners.

Then there were the luvvies who got in fast with reverse psychology. They proactively blamed anyone and everyone to circumvent any consideration of the likely Muslim terrorist.

The Left also had all sorts of hares running about the government doing it because, well, the Left has an irrational hatred of the US anyhow.

In the end it was the usual suspects. Now for the Left luvvies to rationalise the offenders' monstrous crimes somehow to still blame the US. Can't have fundamentalists blamed for fostering hate and grooming youth to kill innocents.

Dear o sung wu,

You wrote;

“Certainly, assertions by ONTHEBEACH that the protected EDP system(s) have been compromised from time to time is quite true”

Of course it stands to reason if the EDP hadn't been prone to abuse then there would no need to strengthen protocols. But that was not what he was asserting at all.

He went far past that to put “the very gun registration that is supposed to prevent crime is the likely source of information for thefts. Any cop can access that data on all owners, what is held and where, and without leaving a trace of his query.”

Quite specific and labels the police as the prime suspects as suppliers of information for the thefts in Geelong. I rejected that as scurrilous and without foundation and will continue to do so. He was asked to withdraw it. He didn't. If you choose to disregard that fact then that is your prerogative. I choose not to.

Dear onthebeach,

You are at it again.

Ultimately this in the end was not a measured investigation, it was a gigantic role of the dice. That dice was the decision to unleash the media hounds.

“The decision that led to their quarry - whether or not to make photos of the suspects public - was something of a gamble, one that investigators had to weigh carefully.

Quote;

"Releasing the photos greatly increased the odds the two men would be recognized and turned in, even as it significantly upped the chances they would try to vanish or commit more mayhem - exactly the scenario that played out.
"Clearly these guys were reacting and responding exactly as (law enforcement) predicted," said Robert Taylor, a criminologist at the University of Texas at Dallas who studies terrorism. "If you saw your face on TV and everywhere else as associated with the bombing ... you would act irrationally, and that's exactly what they did."
End quote.

Prudent? It could have had a far worse outcome, though the family of the slain officer might have a different opinion.

>>I have no problem admitting that I hate the ideology of feminism or the corruption of unionism or the child abuse in churches. This does not mean I hate 'humanity' as you deceitfully imply along with Belly.<<

Talk about selective quoting. I write 'sections of humanity' and runner creatively abbreviates it to 'humanity', radically altering its meaning: 'sections of humanity' implies SOME people while 'humanity' implies ALL people.

I wasn't trying to accuse you of hating all people runner: I know you don't hate everyone. You like people who agree with you and you hate everyone that disagrees with you. You seem to take it as some sort of personal affront when people hold views which are different from your own. What's up with that?

Cheers,

Tony

O Sung Wu This is worth seeing.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WQeqE943Uo This is the episode from the Family Guy showing the two separate scenes of their version of a Boston Bombing.Note this is the same episode and story line.It was released just 3 weeks prior the actual Marathon.

If terrorists were copying Family Guy,how did they organise such an attack so quickly?

What is the probability of a cartoon predicting by chance an almost identical scenario?

What do you think O Sung Wu?
