Oh dear God. How long will it be before scenes like this come to a mall, theater, or other large gathering of people here in America? Syrian refugees have arrive this very day in New Orleans.
It's going to happen here, probably very soon. Think about this every time you go to a mall, concert or sporting event. If you are legally permitted to carry a weapon, do it. You may be the one who saves lives.
Sometimes I attend the Pittsburgh opera (my sister plays in the orchestra) and consider think how very easy it would be to walk in with bombs and guns, create panic, kill dozens - and then I look around the Benedum Theatre for the person who might do such a thing. My husband frequently runs the Boston Marathon, but was injured and couldn't run the year of the bombing - which occurred about two blocks from the spot where I wait for him to turn onto Boylston St. We're going again in April and I'll try to be even more cautious than in the past.
The closest big city to me is Pittsburgh, where the idiot mayor is waving frantically to Obama, saying, "Oooh, oooh, Mr. Presidente, please send us some Syrian refugees, too!" The minute they arrive (if they haven't already), I will be sure to be armed whenever I visit.
That the civilized world is allowing and enabling its own destruction is beyond comprehension.
