Terror group names Mall of America as target

[Oldgringo]

what value does this mall have as a target...except it may be a gun free zone...

these boobs for all their organization want to target a mall???

sure i see the hearts and minds of the innocent being taken out by armed persons....sort of says coward in my book

They don't care about your book. In their book, it says to kill the infidel, and in as large a quantity as possible. The Mall of America is a perfect target.

, anybody remember the suicide bombers in the various overseas marketplaces, etc?

Yep - I'm using you for cover.

Yes, I'm kidding :) kinda...

If not for cover, a decoy or distraction.

Have you ever met Andy? He's so skinny he could use a drain pipe for cover.

Skinny guys are harder to hit - and I could do a complete tuck 'n' roll behind you :p

Too true. Heck you could do jumping jacks behind me.

With all this talk about Malls as targets, I wonder if Grapevine Mills would consider pulling their 30.06 signs?
The wife knows we don't darken their door ever.

Here is a video of the training the MOA security guards receive on how to handle terrorists. Apparently, ISIS does not like to be slapped like an old pillow.

I have no problem with that if you can tolerate my very high pitch screamy voice...not to mention a whole lotta runnin..

Apparently it wasn't lack of opportunity that drove Jihadi John to join ISIS.

What would have stopped him from returning home to Britain to carry out his terrorist activities? I say little to nothing. Be ready and be prepared at all times to respond accordingly. ISIS and al-queada are not contained. What we want to believe is not always reality.

So, looks like the verbal must be provided as well before you get a $25 fine.

If we can get SB17 and HB308 this session, this (above) would be near the top of my wish list for next time.

Anyone that can read that sign and feel safer.... they are not my friend.

The sheer raw power of the "punches" those female guards are throwing wouldn't even fluff a pillow. In fact, I don't think they're hitting hard enough to swat the life out of a mosquito.

Seeing that makes me feel much safer. Thanks for sharing.

Containment??

FBI Director James Comey has said his bureau is investigating possible ISIS supporters in all 50 states.

Another observation:

Secretary of State John Kerry says:

“Our citizens, our world today is actually, despite ISIL, despite the visible killings that you see and how horrific they are, we are actually living in a period of less daily threat to Americans and to people in the world than normally,” he said. “Less deaths, less violent deaths today than through the last century.”

National Intelligence Chief James Clapper says:

"When the final accounting is done, 2014 will have been the most lethal year for global terrorism in the 45 years such data has been compiled," Clapper told the Senate Armed Services Committee.

Which do you believe? I'd feel more confident if they were on the same page.

I'd feel more comfortable if the other members of NATO leaned on Turkey to close their border and quit supporting ISIL, to the point of kicking them out if they don't.
