View Full Version : Coming To A City Near You...
Moscow mass homicide bombings. Count on it.
Though Russia gets hit far more often by these attacks from rebels they are fighting in Chennai, ask Oklahoma City about our own homegrown variety.

...ask Oklahoma City about our own homegrown variety.
Indeed, we're not short of fundamentalist douchebags of our own. One of those days when athiests can hold their heads high, I guess.

Because, Indy, I feel it is inevitable and as noted it has happened before. I'm not limiting this to the "homegrown" variety, either. The war on terror that became an overseas contingency operation is still certainly a war on terror. Gonna be a long one.
The Columbus mall bombing plot, the Buffalo terrorist cell, others I'm sure. It's bound to happen eventually.
There are so many other long forgotten incidents or lesser know incidents - not attempts - real incidents
Bio-Weapons in US?
We all know about anthrax incident and maybe the lesser know ricin jobs.
But what about this:
1984 Rajneeshee bioterror attack (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1984_Rajneeshee_bioterror_attack)
Explosives incidents in Atlanta (Olympics)
Firebombings by ELF and ALF
The list goes on and on. It is nothing new, just more publicized.

What is new is a highly refined and effective marketing industry.

Sorry, "political figure has terrorist associations" can only lead to politcal debate and eventual thread closure.

as Senator Charles F. Meachum and Joe Kennedy said, "It's not about republicans or democrats, it's about the Haves and the Have nots."

Not long ago I was telling someone new to the area about the attempted county coup by the Rajneesh. She looked at me like I was a paranoid loon of the first order. :) If there weren't others there to confirm the details she never would have believed it happened less than 100 miles from where we were sitting.

Looks to me like the family trees have a single branch not far off the ground on the latest militia brain trust. Quite a mullet on contestant #8. Princess shagnasty has an expression that would make a rock sweat. :eek: :gomer:

Yeah, they think it's all books and lattes over here, but we've certainly had enough cults, parachuting skyjackers, and club weilding olympic skaters to keep it interesting.

As if dynamited whales, the world's largest earthworm, a Klan governor, two of the two U.S. cities containing extinct volcanoes, getting shelled by the Japanese during WWII, Whorehouse Meadow, and the Oregon Country Fair weren't enough. :gomer:

Extremists are funny and deserve ridicule, but what did these guys really do?
the Feds don't have a very good track record with handling what I consider to be "nutcases". That bugs me.

Somewhere between talk (which should obviously be protected free speech) and action (which should obviously put you in jail or in a box) there is a line that marks "seditious conspiracy". I just hope that the line is the same for everyone and that it's not moving around.

Yeah, invasive power is always a concern but there has to be a line, we could use a way to monitor where the line is being drawn maybe.
How's Mr. Spider Toxin doing these days BTW? A little concrete vacation?

Pufferfish.
No bail, no trial. Last news was a NG plea to new charges, and a continuance because of new charges. That was in June, 2009.
This is one that bugs me. He HAD it (by all accounts), so there's that, but they are charging him with all sorts of "motive" stuff.

Right, pufferfish. No idea why I thought spider. The long stall is inevitable with something like that. His lawyer wants to delay and try every conceivable motion and the prosecutor takes forever to nail down every detail. If it ever does go to trial he'll probably get time served which by then will be 3-4yrs.

Present company excepted, of course, but it strikes me as funny how some of the very same folks who vigorously defend tactics like racial and religious profiling, military tribunals, suspension of habeus corpus, and all other sorts of infringements on due process suddenly get all circumspect when the suspects look like them.
Well, maybe funny isn't the right word.
Amen to that, datachicane.
