That's not real, is it?
Why do we have such short memories? Not picking on you, because the majority of people for some reason forget that we have had attacks by Islamic terrorist since 911. Boston, Times Square bombing, The attack at the Recruiting office, Fort Hood, Chapel Hill NC SUV attack, to name a few. It has happen here, and it will again.
I sit next to a guy in church....far back left by the door, who conceal carries with an ankle holster. As a matter of fact we discussed it before the service started and my comment was...geez....I hope you are a good shot...lol. He was a military marksman... I was awarded a marksmanship award in college, but that doesn't mean I can hit the broadside of a barn now...lol. Isn't it a crying shame to have to have armed parishioners..........
@Smokin Joe@CatherineofAragon @FreyaFirst, I just got an email from son, Wayne, to tell me he was not in the area of the attacks last night, that he is safe.I had a retired friend who was a sheriff's deputy. We would go to a restaurant and he would ask for certain seating so he could survey the people in there. He did it every time. No person was behind his back. That put me facing the back of the restaurant.My son has a friend in Florida who is a retired Florida detective. When he would go to dinner with him, this detective would do the same thing - get a seat so he could see everyone. That would put Wayne facing the back of the restaurant. Both Wayne and I would see the kitchen when we were with our "ex-cop" friend.
Re: Maxine WatersOMG... That is not real. I thought I grabbed a different link. Hers was much more thoughtful. Maybe Mods can delete?
It makes me feel safer. We know that bad things can happen in churches, too.
@Sanguine @NavyCanDo I always take bear spray to church with me.https://www.nps.gov/yell/learn/nature/bearspray.htm
Are you funnin' with us?
No, just gross stupidity on my part while sitting in a hot car.
The sad thing is, knowing Mad Maxine, I believed it.
@Victoria33 is he giving any thoughts to coming home because of the danger? Funny thing is we were there in the area where the attack happened in Nov of 2015.
That IS his home for 32 years. He is a director of documentary film. He lives outside London, not in central London, however he goes there. The film he just finished was for the BBC and they are in central London, so he goes there and where he edits film is in central London, plus other film companies are in central London. No way he can stay totally out of there.
I'll say a prayer for his safety.
With all due respect, economics is only one aspect of the political philosophy known as fascism. For example, economics alone don't encompass the fascist nationalism.I specifically wrote "fascist-style" because I wasn't assuming actual fascism would be a part of the suggestion.
