What's up, Kainers?!

[Kain Nobel]

This guy was on a terrorist watch list and underwent not one but two FBI investigations. Oh, an investigation couldn't go through because something... something... racial profiling? You're a racist if you investigate a guy with extremist ties and extremist views. RACIST, I tell ya. So yeah, somebody did see something and say something but it happened anyway.

All this money spent on alphabet soup intelligence services and yet they don't really seem to be of any use. The bad guys always seem to slip through the cracks, either through too much info on too many people (needle in a haystack syndrome) or due to agency incompetence. I'd go so far as to say I believe they may even stage and set up things just to psychologically justify their existence.


"Oh look, we simply let somebody from a terrorist watch list commit a horrible atrocity so we could remind the public how much they need us to protect and save them."

Does that sound about right? I'm sorry, but that's how it appears to me personally. Do your jobs, or find new ones. We're sick of paying your salaries. McDonalds is always hiring. You'll never be a James Bond, get back there and make us some damn fries!

They can't stop anything unless they helped set up the show. At least that's how it appears to me, on the outside, looking at the inside. I'm sure there are wonderful people within these units who've done something useful and heroic, but I hardly hear of them. Oh, FBI stopped a guy from shooting up a Masonic temple. How come that is the only incident that I can remember that wasn't related to shutting down a drug operation? Meanwhile, SWAT teams keep screwing up over and over and over again, shooting mothers and tossing grenades in bassinets. The TSA might be doing a good job preventing toothpaste but those long lines and missed flights seem like a major security risk in more ways than one. More funding for the TSA? We don't need no stinkin' TSA, quit begging Congress for money!

The funds would be better spent on arming and educating a population suffering blow back from decades of middle eastern warfare, retaliation that I'm surprised has taken so long to be carried out. Citizens who've never had a felony or been under a serious investigation should be able to get a tax rebate on firearm purchases. Instead of these stupid paper target gun ranges, they could be employing veterans to run a facility that teaches basic self-defense and infantry skills. We don't need to teach people how to be a Rambo, but we should make a sport out of training civilians on how to handle themselves in a stressful and surprising combat situation.

One thing I've noticed though; people are more scared of gun owners than they are of radicals. In their minds, every gun owner is an extremist with a mass shooter psychology. Oh, the husband purchased a firearm, the husband must be gearing up to kill the family. The teenager just graduated high school and is going to the gun range a lot, he must be getting ready to shoot up the work place. Mister Joe Public open carries in the grocery store; nobody (except Joe Public) would ever shoot up a grocery store. Isn't that right, libtards? Safeway isn't a soft target, no siree.

I'm not a gun-humping ammosexual, I don't open carry nor conceal carry everywhere I go. I understand though, I completely understand. We're not living in the age of men who use their fists to fight; we're in the age of cowards that attack public places where people aren't likely to be packing heat. In this period of time, sometimes a store clerk gets shot just for not getting somebody's cigarettes fast enough. Gee, I wonder why the hell people would carry a firearm with them?! Oh.

So this night club shooting, yeah, such a tragedy. Regardless, I'm more wary of government incompetence and corruption than I am of some cowardly mass murderer who favors Gun Free Zones. Go take your "common sense gun control" and shove it; these people lack the common sense to legislate and enforce such a measure, let alone allow an investigation and surveillance to continue. You can put up all the security cameras you want on our traffic lights, all the shot detectors, Stingray towers... it's not going to make a difference if you keep letting in potential radicals by the thousands and are unable to find your head from your ass.

Last thought for the night : Quit using soft terms like "moderate rebels" and call a spade a damn spade. We're sick of your cute language.
