It seems to me as if those poor gunman chose the wrong local for their shenanigans
-
That was my first though too.
I think the whole idea is brilliant! The USA should have scheduled cartoon events all over the country to attract the hostile zealots like flies to flypaper. The extremists simply cannot let these events run their course without getting involved and it could be a great way to draw them out of hiding.
(note: I used no politics, religion, or any other rule breaking offense)

Seems as though they learned the hard way not to mess with Texas. By the way I think we have two new candidates for the Darwin awards.

Hehehe, I live here in Garland, the Garland PD has a reputation of NOT taking any crap off anyone. Word on the street is, if you get stopped make sure its NOT in Garland. According to the report, the officer that shot the idiots was a patrol officer, God Bless him.
Go Garland Police Dept. :rock

With all the recent reports of PD shooting unarmed people in the back it was inevitable that they caught a random bad guy in the process.
Sorry, couldn't resist :D

job well done, two less terrorists does not tell how many he actually may have saved

Even if they got past the OD PO Im sure there was a host of iron waiting for them to send them to glorious paradise. Or maybe Glocks. But of all states to try this in they couldnt have picked a worse one.

:salute I was wondering when that statement would pop up.
-
15 seconds from opening shots to both threats neutralized, could have gone a lot worse as demonstrated in Paris. God bless armed police in the right place at the right time; :salute LEO's
-
A clear demonstration of shot placement > firepower.
-
they should have used bombs instead :D
-
and a lady got exactly what she was asking for.

Nothing to be smug about :old:
They will be more to fill their places.
We have these sort of people planting bombs in the UK for the last 40 years.

On an Irish discussion forum this subject started with
Well, thankfully no real people were killed
Soon someone turned up and said: Hilarious! 2 people are dead. They may have been the gunmen but two human beings are still dead.
Which among others generated this reply:
Wow I never thought I'd see the day. There you have it folks - some people will defend absolutely anything to win the award of Board's most "right-on" liberal.
But I have to say they were easily the two most useless jihadists in the entire history of stupid and pointless terrorism.
To be fair though the police in Texas were absolutely expecting something unlike their unfortunate colleagues in Paris.
But by all means congratulate the police for this success. But remember the chilling words of the IRA when they failed to kill the British Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher: Today we were unlucky, but remember we only have to be lucky once. You will have to be lucky always.
That's the reality.

See Rule #14
-
A short two blocks from my home resides a Muslim Mosque. In the 14 years I've lived in this neighborhood I have never encountered a single Muslim on the street, and have only observed a few women shopping at the neighborhood stores. So, tomorrow I think I'll walk my dogs into their compound and introduce myself and ask what all the fuss is about around the world, and ask, why it is not happening here in our Community?

:airplane: Kinda sounds like "poking" a hornets nest with a one foot ruler! Or, why would you kick a sleeping Doberman Pincher? Or, why would you cut off your engine just because you have the runway in sight? Might work out and might not!!

I would if there is any free food take a photo please. :old:
Food cheers people up :old:
No idea what Earl is talking about?

The event in Garland was an ill thought out idea even though it is our first amendment right to participate in them. We need to keep in mind that these vermin do not think like us and would, cheerfully and without hesitation, take as many as they could out in a single strike.
I disagree ,, the event was well planned and well secured,, almost 40 police and private security officers were there.
You may mean that the exorcize of our first amendment was an ill thought out idea?
One thing you need to remember,, "Terrorists cannot be accommodated out of existence."
Lucky the game warden wasn't around,, I'm pretty sure it's illegal to hunt in a baited field !

Actually he would probably be invited in and treated VERY kindly if it is a Middle Eastern Mosque. Coffee and food would be a must have. I have quite a few Middle Eastern clients (Syrian, Iranian, Saudi) Muslim and Christian and their culture is all about hospitality. Something I think our western culture is severely lacking. I had one Muslim client just this year (a UN diplomat attached to the Kuwait delegation) text me on Easter Sunday and wish me a happy holiday. Personally am in awe of many aspects of their culture. They are wonderful people, and just as disgusted by the extremists as we are.

Yes I think most people will find that the religion itself plays a secondary role to the culture of the people in question when it comes to friendliness and politeness. A Middle-Eastern Muslim may be a lot more accommodating and polite than say an African Muslim or Asian. Same with people from Christian cultures (or any other religion for that matter).

Most Mosques in that region wouldnt even let a non-believer in. If your seen practicing another religion openly, or even allowing a crucifix to be shown, your taking your life in your hands. Or if your lucky will only be arrested. When I was stationed there I had a friend thrown off a 4th floor balcony by extremists just for marrying a Muslim girl. So I dont bother with the PC statements any more cause the fact is Islam is the most intolerant religion in the world and always has been since its inception.
On the other hand I believe insulting anothers religion is both ignorant and un-American. Either every word of the Constitution means something or none of them mean anything. By all means let murder the enemy but we should never lower ourselves to insulting a religion.

rich we used to hang people because they married somebody from the wrong color. and they used our religion as a justification. think of it based on just last weeks news, some still hate people just because of their religious beliefs. do they kill them, well you already know that. maybe not in the hundreds but then again in this country we havent had a war in over 150 years. but if it was up to some we would really have lots of deaths just because they feel they're justified.
extremists are always gonna be ignorant.

When I refer to "the enemy" I refer to terrorists bent on attacking us. And I believe those that support them should be included and no mercy shown. But I just dont agree with publicity stunts based on insulting anothers religion. Thats almost as dumb as starting a gun fight with the citizens of Texas.

Awesome quote. Sig worthy even!

Indeed, while I respect the groups freedom to do so, one has to wonder on the motive. On the other hand the "Jesus picture in Urine" they displayed in NYC, was more outrageous and no one was attacked there.
On Religion, with all due respect, we are endowed by our creator to chose what we believe. Most do not chose wisely, some do not choose at all which is a choice in itself.

I don't always agree with everything you say, but I think you hit the nail on the head here. I'm all for freedom of speech, in any form. I believe that, like EVERY other right in the constitution belongs to every human to act on accordingly. But this was in poor taste overall. If there was something to be gained, some profound statement to be made, sure, but it looked to me like they were just trying to provoke a response. Perfectly legal? Yes. Would I defend their right to do so? Absolutely! Would I tell them they should rethink their priorities? Definitely.

I was refering to Patches comment regarding the mosque down the street from him, and what may happen if he should stop in. Not sure why you included my quote in this.

This has turned into nothing but a violation of rule #14.
