I don't know it all, I just know what I see. Speeding, running red lights, kids hopping around in moving cars, people running barefoot from the cops, police armed with guns running from men with pipes. I don't know, overall pretty pathetic.

Just because some of us hate to see police who are afraid of their own shadow, doesn't make us "Rambo" types. As far as the "stringent" tests, if you've ever looked at many of the slobs on duty here, I don't think many of us would have trouble getting through.

Zen, are you telling me there was only one officer? And, judging by the way that the police deal with suspects/persons of interest/people who are suspicious when they run, you darn right we should expect them to be able to stop him. What if he ran from the cops and…

Yes, cleo, it is atypical of most people who also have a weapon and training to not be able to subdue someone. He got clubbed by the officer, who couldn't even take the man down even though he had a weapon with the advantage of leverage and momentum. Have you…

zen builder, the goal of terrorism is not to get us to tighten our security measures and become paranoid, the goal of terrorism is to further political or idealogical beliefs through the use of violence and terror inducing actions. The tightening of security measures is just another added benefit for…

No, taka, they don't all look middle eastern. But then again, when is the last time the IRA has ever struck at either America, or it's interests, or it's people? Secondly, Tim Mcveigh, Terry Nichols, Ted Kazinsky don't look middle eastern. But, the bulk of the ones in this world…

While I don't agree by any stretch with what these 2, and others here have done, and are doing, I have found that if I have to explain to someone that this isn't all of us that are doing it, they lack the critical thinking skills that I have found…

No, sleepy, after their terms are up from Japanese prison, since they were tried in Japanese courts, they may be run up on UCMJ charges, which I think they should.

In my earlier post I had mentioned that the one guy got a really short sentance, but, upon re-reading the…
