Be Aware

  • Federal law enforcement terror bulletins have become as much a part of the holiday season in the past decade as egg nog and department store Santas.

    But this year, which ends amid a heightened concern over terror, is a little different. A Department of Homeland Security bulletin sent to law enforcement nationwide Thursday says that federal authorities worry terrorists will try to rattle Americans by attacking during the holidays, and lists concerns including car bombs, trucks ramming crowds and a Mumbai-style small arms attack.
This is the new reality. It's amusing how the media buys into these warnings now that a democrat is in charge unlike when they were ripping Bush and accusing him of using the terror alerts as some sort of election ploy or a sop for boosting sagging poll numbers.

Is that why TARA is only teaching on one watch? With non-qualified instructors?

Why no respirators are being issued?

No one care about terrorism on this job.

...not to mention Janet Napolitano, Obama's great hope for Homeland Security, who's been busily electronically stripping airline passengers naked while, behind her, boxcar after boxcar -- the things weigh a little more than a "shoe bomb," about 250,000 pounds fully loaded to be exact -- of anything you could name just rolls right the f__k in here without anyone knowing a thing.

We're lucky it was just marijuana this time.

Mumbai-style gunmen?

Run over them with cars. Spray them in the face with fire extinguishers, and then beat their f___ing heads in with the extinguisher, snow shovels, claw hammers, anything that comes to hand. Hamstring them with your Buck knife, then see if you can gouge their eyeballs out.

NO RULES.

NO RULES.

NO RULES.

See if you can throw gas on them and set their a__ on fire. Tackle them on those slippery marble floors and see if you can shove them over/through a glass mall railing, down and down through the fifteen-story atrium until flop! at the bottom.

One guy can only point one gun one way. Isolate him, blind him, belabor him with hurled objects and thrown liquids, then get in there and pop that mag release, control that muzzle upwards while someone else removes his kidneys with a convenient holiday carving set.

...and if you can get hold of the rifle and that rucksack of loaded mags they carry, well...(ahem) seek cover, sling down tight -- say outside an exit -- and wait for the next one who may present himself, not knowing where you are or what you look like...

If you are going to be killed, DO SOMETHING.

You might even kind of enjoy it.

Take heart, Americans.

RESIST!

Carry, carry, carry!

IED's are more likely to be thwarted at the target location by the boobs using them, because they fuck something up, then by law enforcement.

Now a single LEO with his pistol and extra ammo can limit the damage of a Mumbai style attack by engaging the shooters until the calvalry arrives.

Remember to beware of your surroundings, cover, secondary exits, etc.

SSC, come on now? The media with a bias? That is upsurd! Why, that would be like having a police department run by someone who knows nothing about being a cop, or, like saying there are connected companies and corporations that do business with City Hall and give the politicians a bit of a kickback.

I just refuse to believe it! Whatever the newspapers print, I believe it as gospel truth!

How about a class action lawsuit? We can't rely on FOP! CPD, CFD, Streets & San, etc. Should also be able to have a "primary residency" outside of city limits. Just rent out your home, (with the underwater mortgage) and leave a few "cherished" possesions behind. Conduct your business in your "temp" home in the burbs where your kids go to a decent school ...

No warning to keep a close eye on those domestic terrorists – the people who attend Tea Party rallies ? I’m amazed the Department of Homeland Security might actually be concerned about real terrorists ? They seem to focus their efforts entirely on little old ladies and small children at airports.

Define Domestic Terrorist Attack

How about an ARSON inside at a Crowded Pulbic Political Rally with a Message Left Behind.

Caused by some Asshole Burning Four Roadflares in the Men's Room.

Writes, "Fuck the Naperville Tea Party" on the toilet.

Could have killed or injured several people but it forced the political rally to end.

This Potentially Deadly Incident Should be Considered a Terrorist Act and Have the Feds All Over It!

Why Does It Not? Because it was The Tea Party and like them or not this happened at Dugan's last Friday.

Why was this not on the front page of the papers and the lead story pn TV news. Can you imagine if this was an Operation PUSH rally and the KKK was suspected of doing the same thing.

Interesting enough...

a few days ago, we entered the Clark/Lake Blue Line tunnel where it smelled like there was a fire - smoke really bad and black marks all over. We waited 15 minutes then heard sirens by the Lake/Wells entranceway in the tunnel but heard nothing as the Forest Park train was stopped and no explanation by the CTA.

Yesterday I was coming home and luckily caught the train behind what had happened however I found out that a rail line "broke" on the Orange Line. Another explanation not provided to the people who had to wait almost a hour for a shuttle.

Do the officers on the street recommend (without recommending openly) that ordinary tax-paying, law-abiding citizens take measures to defend themselves, up to and including carrying firearms?

I hate to think it's coming to that but it's getting to the point where I don't want to risk my family or myself on the grounds of some BS law. I'm not a terrorist. I'm not a danger to society. In truth, you will never know I even have a gun until you search me (if you had reason to - can't imagine what that could be, but you never know).

It would be nice to know those in the department at least understand where us normally willfully unarmed citizens are coming from.

No respirators because of the Administrative Manager at the Academy.
She's been robbing peter to paul for some time now.
That $$ for the respirators was used for desks/computers/file cabinets/pay other bills/lunches.
Go to the Academy and ask her for a respirator.
There is no $$ for them, even tho that $$ came from the feds just for respirators.

WHY IS SHE THE ONLY ADMINISTRATIVE MANAGER THAT WAS NOT AXED IN THE BUDGET CUTS?

"Farid Seif didn't intend to bring a gun on a flight out of Houston, but he did just that after he forget he'd packed it and TSA screeners at Bush Intercontinental Airport failed to catch it. The loaded .40 caliber pistol...tucked away inside a carry-on computer bag, where it stayed throughout the flight... He reported the incident as soon as he landed and said, "There's nothing else in [the bag] How can you miss it?" Lest you think this is an isolated incident, it's actually brought to light how common this type of thing is. In fact, it's apparently possible that the majority of weapons pass through TSA screeners. Although ABC News says "how often it occurs is a closely guarded government secret," they found out:

"A person briefed on the latest tests tells ABC News the failure rate approaches 70 percent at some major airports. Two weeks ago, TSA's new director said every test gun, bomb part or knife got past screeners at some airports."

I still have the old style gas mask. Been waiting 2 years now for an upgrade. Hopefully the terrorists will only be using tear gas on their next attack.......

We have trillions of dollars of deficit spending and the only cuts these nit-wit liberals can think of is to shrink the fucking budgets of the people who protect them. The police and fire departments are under pressure to spend less. I occasionally listen to Liberal Talk Radio, (only for a couple of minutes at a time because I'm afraid my head will explode listening to how stupid they are) and they are all chomping at the bit to cut military spending. Now that's the most brilliant idea I've ever heard. Let these monsters be and then they come here. Who the hell will save you from them? The police? There aren't enough of us trained to engage that type of threat. Pookie with a pistol can do you in before we can get to you. What the hell is a group of terrorists with an AK47's and suicide vests going to do to you>

Hey doofus, you gonna protect yourself? Oh. I know, you'll puch him with your keys. At the rate you ass-wipes are trying to reduce our numbers, there won't be enough of us to save you from an aggressive teen with a stick.

Man. All you have to to to shut down an entire college campus is to write some vague threat in the washroom -- let alone set off incendiary devices. Classes suspended, bomb dogs called out, guys standing around adjusting their web gear, the works.
