I for one am not in the least shocked nor surprised. I am however extremely saddened that so many innocents have been lost for no conscienable reason.
I have been telling folks for years that we do not now nor have lived in a civilized society from the early '80's.
I am not scared one D*#@'ed bit at these latest terrorists tactics. To be scared means one thing. The terrorists were successful in their attempts. The only thing that does scare me is how we as a country, nay as a planet of independent and sovereign nations will react. If we stand tall, shoulder to shoulder with an attitude as big as all outdoors with the grit and determination to exterminate these cockroaches with extreme predjudice from the face of the earth, then we win an overwhelming victory. If we hide from reality with only our hopes to protect us we are doomed to condamnation and a horrible death which is as it should be. If those who wish to infringe upon our freedoms in this country use this travesty to further their cause then they too are no better than the scum who perpetrated this heinous crime and should be summarily exterminated themselves as they are no better than the murderous conspiring scum who carried out this slaughter.
I believe it was Benjamin Franklin who said something about, freedom coming at the expense of security, and/or vice versa. You can have one or the other but not both As for me, I live in fear of no man on the face of God's Green Earth, yet I shall protect myself, my family and everything that is mine with every fibre of my being with no limitations upon the use of deadly force. Don't Tread On Me, as you will most certainly pay the ultimate price. If you are of the faith that causes you to believe such murderous acts as has transpired today gives you a free pass to your verson of heaven, I will do my utmost to grant your wish to seek your God.
My prayers and condolences are with the victims and their families.
My words of warning to the perpetrators, you will pay for your crimes 1000x over whether it be in this life or the next. My one wish is that it is in this one so that I may be witness to the fact, or better yet have an active part in your suffering. Yes I am one helluva vindictive SOB and for that I am not ashamed.
Vengance is mine sayeth the Lord, yeah I am only acting as his right hand!
