Soldier shot at National War Memorial in Ottawa

[derspiess]

Sadly I say a third of the board already has.  I repost something that libertarians showed me, I get all sorts of shit from people.  grallon goes on about genocide: Not a fucking peep.  If I stand up against that kind of bullshit Dguller calls me "defender of the faith".

It gets better

I would buy Mr. Vikers a beer.

By the way, what did the perp have? A shotgun or rifle? It sure was loud in the videos.

A rifle, imho.
He tried to shoot a first soldier but his gun jammed.  A shotgun doesn't jam like that, I think?
So, anyway, the first soldier went into hiding, but he had time to shoot the second one once his gun fired again.

I suppose he won't have much trouble maintaining points of order in the future ...

Man arrested in Halifax, guns found in a bus stop.
News piece.

Probably not related, most likely another lunatic "inspired" by current events.

Yeah, there was a bit of "man with gun sighted, police responding, details unclear!!!!" panic cycling around in Vancouver as well at the time.

I read that this AM and also thought it was awesome.

Indeed.

You should take it as a compliment.  We all realize there is no point in responding to Grallon.

You people refuse to admit the nature of the enemy, which boggles the mind considering what they've already accomplished. 

No matter, in the end it is *I* who will be proven right about the Muslim filth.  And I'll be here waiting, to rub it in your collective faces.

I think you have exemplified the "nature" of the "enemy" we need to confront while we also address the security issues we face.

I thought this was a very effective and moving editorial cartoon.

I was just thinking about the whole "western idiots join ISIS ranks". Truly, it seems to be almost limited to people with ethnic ties to Muslim people, but otherwise I think it is no different than, say, the Anarchists we had earlier.

What makes someone ethnically Muslim?

You know how those old world societies are.  Sort of like how Serbs are ethnically Orthodox and the French are ethnically Catholic even if they are not practicing (or even if their family has been Calvinist for 400 years).  Bosniaks are distinct because of their religion for example.
