That’s a complete lie !
Unlike you, I am waiting for more facts of the investigation to be released before I make any type of judgement - maybe you should try that sometime! And how does waiting for facts make me a conformist?
I think I already made clear I'm not going to do that. Notwithstanding your recommendation that I 'try it sometime'. Because in the unlikely event that it was part of an actual terrorist plot, what bad happens, how did I ruin anything? Is the guy going to get away if I don't take the cops at their word, and reject their cynical and almost certainly inaccurate characterization of this random truck rampage in our collapsing society as a terrorist attack, or maybe an 'act of terror', which would be subtly but perhaps crucially different semantically.
When entrusted with the safety of our citizens, what alternative do you suggest?
Not now, troll. It sounds like the dude was recruited, if even that, and is an American citizen and 8 year army vet, as well as a disgruntled soul and vulnerable to that sort of thing. If indeed that's what it is. In any case, not the time for cheerleading a new wave of crackdowns in a society already halfway given over to a full blown surveillance state. Especially when you're just a troll anyway. I was at least speaking with sincerity.
You said that our freedoms would be further restricted, so tell us in what way?
You have made it clear that you are only interested in a narrative that is devoid of actual facts and when the facts do come to light - your response was "Oh well". The rest of your comments are typical of a person that would seek out an argument over the precise shade of blue concerning someone's comment about a blue sky.
So it is. I spoke too soon. I was watching the games and the initial report I glanced at didn't mention terrorism and it appeared to have enough of the hallmarks of a loan gunman type scenario, which would not be at all surprising in this country. Where those things happen all the time to varying degrees of death and destruction, and if this guy was a vet as reported, he might be more inclined to go ham with it. And in any case it didn't sound like a terrorist attack at first blush. And it's nevertheless true that the war on terror is never ending, and is almost like a self fulfilling prophecy.
Are you saying punishment isn’t the answer? Consequences are always for the next guy in line …
being frustrated in life …then turning to ISIS and planning with others to run over people with a bomb in your truck…and plant bombs over a few blocks in a city….is a pretty big pivot.
Okay well, you know how I feel, and I'm not sympathetic. But indeed, this is a highly technical, esoteric sort of thing, I don't pretend to any knowledge of the latest encryption techniques, so I'm in no position to differ on that score. Let's just say I wouldn't want to empower and entrust all this computer technology, however possible to only be used for good as it were, to our national security state. But I guess we just don't see eye to eye on that score.
Looks like a number of our former allies are aligning with brics because they're sick of us using them and their land for our bases and missiles controlling them through economic incentives and punishing other countries through economic sanctions. The dollar as the reserve currency is coming to an end.
Oh I don't know we overthrew the government of Nicaragua because they wanted the privatize their fruit industry. We overthrew the leader of chili and implemented a dictator who killed millions of his people. We overthrew a democratically elected leader of Iran and put in a ruthless dictator that led to the attack on the US Embassy. We assassinated the prime minister of italy. We attacked Iraq over a lie of weapons of mass destruction. We dropped two nuclear weapons on Japan when they we're ready to surrender. We tested psychotropic drugs on the entire population of a small town in France. We assassinated the president in order to placate the military industrial complex and go to war in Vietnam in order to test our weapons. The atrocities in Vietnam are too many to mention. We told I rock it was okay to go into Kuwait because they were side drilling into Iraq's oil fields and then we use it as an excuse to invade. We blatantly stole election in 2020 in order to put the puppets back into power. We used MK Ultra to have Sirhan Sirhan assassinate RFK. We assassinated Martin Luther King and blamed it on a guy who wasn't even in town at the time. We MK Ultra Charles Manson so he would go up and Murder movie stars and the rich and Beverly Hills in order to give flower power a bad name. We've called multiple economic meltdowns not only for our country but for the world over greed and the consolidation of wealth. We blatantly took ownership of Hawaii against the Kings wishes. And do I have to remind you about Teddy Roosevelt and his adventures and lands he's annexed. We also implemented the Monroe Doctrine where we wiped out millions of indigenous people. And this is all just the tip of the iceberg. When the Berlin Wall fell we could have helped to Russia become a democratically strong capitalistic Society but instead used big business to enrich ourselves and raise up the criminal oligarchs all the while surrounding them with NATO, a thing we promise we would never do that is the reason for why we are in a proxy war with Russia right now in Ukraine. We exterminated millions of Germans after World War II something that has never spoken about. We took hundreds of thousands of Japanese US citizens and put them in concentration camps. Because we allowed the semiconductor industry to leave for third world countries we are now willing to go to war to protect that technology with a country that it actually belongs to. We have killed millions of Arabs and Muslims which is probably the reason why this guy drove his car through a crowd of people
That's a real intelligent response. Something I would expect from a mainstream media brainwashed idiot who never does research on his own but believes in the Great American Dream and the equality of all men founded by a bunch of property owning slave owning rich people who were Freemasons who didn't want to pay tax. By the way Freemasonry is nothing but gnosticism. If you don't understand any of these terms look it up
Well he basically was punished as the cops shot him dead. Hate to say it, but that was probably the best outcome.
Dude, what the F are you doing? Yes, there's much truth to what you're saying, and America is a deeply flawed country. But I think we got it. And we're all Americans, this is the country we owe everything to. That's just a fact. Maybe I'm sentimental about it, in spite of all the havoc America has wreaked in the world as you seem very hip to, but it will always be my home and I will always love it. I wouldn't be here without it. None of us would. You don't have to change a thing about your opinion, but just keep that in mind.
I don't care I'm not going to argue with you naive brainwashed idiots live in Fantasyland I don't care
Advanced surveillance just detected individuals planting bombs
he does.
The official usage of terrorism has been so diluted that it can refer to just about anything. IF you go back to the original word it will apply to the NOLA attack, if it walks like a duck.
I don't have this stain for the military as I've already said. You guys were just Pawns in a bigger game. However let's stop with the big reverence for the military veterans. You guys chose to sign up because you needed a job. You got paid. You got all sorts of other benefits. You're no different than a fireman. So sick of people saying thank you for your service when the person voluntarily decided they wanted to shoot other people
