IT is starting.
 

By IT, I mean the terroristic, barbaric acts toward Americans. Yesterdays mass shooting was the beginning of future things to happen to America. Whether it be a lone wolf, a couple (as it appears was yesterday) or a cell, these Islamic extremists hate Americans enough to kill us whenever they see fit. Even though we're relatively isolated from things like this here in TV (I truly hope), be aware of your surroundings and familiarize yourselves with exits of building you are in just in case the unthinkable happens. This is not a call to be alarmed, it's a call to take care of yourselves.

And to the King and Queen of TOTV, who have live here for years and years, you both realize we don't actually live under a bubble and things do happen here?

Wow! And who, pray tell, are the King and Queen of TOTV?

Can we at least get ALL of the facts before declaring yesterday's incident a terrorist attack? i do believe that his being Muslim was very likely an issue of the attack. I do believe this couple planned the attack. I'm just not sure that an underlying factor was not how he was treated in the workplace. My take would be this was an angry man who happened to be Muslim. I believe the same thing would have happened had he been Jewish, Christian or whatever. How he convinced his wife to act with him is beyond me. For now, though, I'm waiting for more information.

Yes, America is at risk of terrorist attacks, both home grown and immigrant. So is every other place in the world. Being vigilant is always wise but I really don't want to see this world or this community to be afraid just because someone is of a certain religion. That just fosters more hatred and resentment on both sides.

My wife thinks that the wife may have been the instigator and dragged her husband along.

His majesty was just telling me this morning over his coffee that if you read back on many of the TOTV posters posts you can sense anger issues in some of them.


When we move here, we have to realize that we are no longer cops or teachers or heads of companies. We are just people. And that new people's reality is often brought with them and not the reality of AT THIS TIME a low crime area. Do not allow white hair to cloud your judgment of a person's ability to perceive the realities of life.


Now I have to go eat my tarts.

I just read online that the man had profiles on two dating sites. He had met his future wife online and traveled to Saudi Arabia earlier this year to meet her and marry. They have a 6 month old child.

Who were Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik? - CNN.com

:agree:

Then it has to be true........

Last night, I heard on Fox that a recent study of 100 mosques revealed that 80 out of the 100 preached and/or condoned jihad actions against western society. Anyone else hear that or know any of the specifics of the study?

What study?

Didn't get the title of the study; just the subject.

I heard of a study...
 

that people who take a negative on-line name have issues with being social and understanding that others points of view are just as valid as their own. Weird eh? That we both can't remember the study's title...

Good words, and I would think you'll not have to eat them, instead of tarts.

I'm trying to diagram these sentences, especially the first one. Could you please explain what you mean?

I'm afraid it will only take one, maybe two, more of these Islamic jihadist inspired attacks here in this country before a few of our own radicals (skinheads, neonazis, outlaw gangs, or far right "patriots") start blowing up mosques. Then IT will really start to escalate.
By the way, I agree that everyone in entitled to their own opinion. But this does not make one opinion just as valid as another. Some opinions are correct and others are just wrong!
