[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You clearly don't like in a target city like dc. Go post on you local message board on flyover country.[/quote]

I live in DC and I think I have a better chance of dying by getting run over in a crosswalk by a bad driver than I do of being gunned down by ISIS.[/quote]

You have utterly failed to comprehend, or even note, the deeper issues and implications of the Paris attack.  [/quote]be

No, I understand it quite well.  Why do you think it's called TERRORism?  And how do you think it works as a strategy?  By inflicting TERROR.  Do you not understand anything about terrorist tactics?  Have you never read handbooks on terrorism and insurgency?  I have.

How do you make it not work?  By not living your life in fear of them.  By not letting your life be disrupted.  And again, do you understand statistics?  People living in DC have a better chance of being struck by lightning than they do of being gunned down by terrorists.

YES, we need to surveil them, we need to monitor them, we need to disrupt them, we need to prevent them from making any further attacks, but we DO NOT need to give in to the wishes of ISIS to have us live our lives disrupted and paralyzed in fear or to have all of our freedoms curtailed.  I think I understand far more than you do about the deeper issues and implications.

If you want to cower in your suburban home with your safe room, your prepper gear and your AR-15, fine, go right ahead.  I on the other hand intend to go on living my life.[/quote]
