Attack against our President’s family!

[holdover]

Fearon and Laitin looked at 127 civil wars from 1945 to 1999, most often in sub-Saharan Africa and Asia. They found that regardless of how ethnically mixed a country is, the likelihood of a civil war decreases as countries get richer. The richest states are almost impervious to civil strife, no matter how multiethnic they might be — think for instance of Belgium, where Flemings and Walloons show almost no inclination to fight it out. And while the poorest countries have the most civil wars, Fearon and Laitin discovered that, oddly enough, it is actually the more homogeneous ones among them that are most likely to descend into violence.

Fearon and Laitin explained their findings by noting that while the world is awash with political grudges, ethnic and otherwise, civil wars only begin under particular circumstances that favor rebel insurgencies.

This country is beyond fucked. Corruption from the low level politicians, judges, and media all the way up to the high level ones.

 

[Steal2B]

Not sure how cornstarch qualifies as an 'attack'.

Sending cornstarch in the mail that appears as a fake anthrax letter is a crime, has historically been charged, been successfully prosecuted, and verdicts / sentences have held through appeals. Each charge and count gets 30 months each per sentencing guidelines.

 

[Jmac00]

The Justice system is beyond compromised so that isn't going to work either. Look at all the corruption. When was the last time besides Skelos which was a small time crook did you actually see a prominent high level politician do the perp walk of shame? You never have and never will.

You'll never see pro 2A decisions as intended by the founding fathers either. This country is beyond compromised and the only way to fix it is to start over. That'll never happen.

so whats your answer? If nothing is going to work, what do you suggest

 

[holdover]

The only thing you can do , keep your sword sharp and your powder dry . Things can change quickly . Who for saw the civil wars in the Ukraine Syria Yugoslavia? Who can forsee the next civil war in the next ten or twenty years?

I have no realistic answers. Writing letters, holding meetings, calling politicians are fruitless.

A full on revolution is the only way I can see any change but for the reasons I've stated before, it'll never happen. Until those people who holds those jobs that are in our way step aside, it'll never happen.

The world can change in a blink of an eye. Nobody knows what tomorrow will bring.

Those people were hungry and had nothing to lose. Cops rioted and fought along side them because they were hungry too.

I don't see Martha and Todd with their 2 SUV's and yearly vacations to Cancun taking arms. I also don't see Officer Slappy or the NJSP hungry enough as well. They got theirs.

This country's citizenry is content. It's only us old guys that have a problem.

 

[holdover]

Your right, if the gravy train ever stops , look out.

Don't make the mistake of not recognizing how fragile our system is.

Eventually we will get to the point where there aren't enough producers to payoff the moochers. Then the whole house of cards will collapse and all bets are off.

I aim to be prepared for that time, any action before that would be futile.


For a preview, see Venezuela for a recent example. The difference with the US being that we'll take the whole world economy down with us.

I can see that happening if a major event takes place. EMP, a great depression, extreme stock market collapse, ect. Basically when people go hungry. As long as they are fed and fat, I don't see it.

Yes it is a crime. I posted that truth above, in this thread.

 

[holdover]

Id say your mostly correct, There are a other few things that can tick off a war too , like a massacre at the Bundy ranch or standing rock would have had major backlashes against the government. The over use of military force against civilians could kick it off too. You just never know what can happen

True.

Round up the usual suspects

Does any of this surpise you?

They are so far out there from reality.

 

[Darth]

Yeah, this was an attack in the same manner that the guy that blew his head off in NYC a few days ago was a "gunman."

"Hospitalized." Yeah, wouldn't want her to turn into a corn muffin unattended.

Attack

/əˈtak/
Verb

"take aggressive action against (a place or enemy forces) with weapons or armed force, typically in a battle or war."​

Ok, call it an act of terrorism instead. Is that better? Why argue semantics, we all know what this is.

 

[CaseHardened]

The day after PEARL HARBOR there were lines around the block at Recruitment Offices, jammed with brave men ready and able.

If North Korea blasted Hawaii to a cinder, tomorrow, I'd sooner celebrate than volunteer.

The Liberals have succeeded in fragmenting and degenerating this country so badly, that except for a brave few we have no will remaining.

 

[GOYABEAN]

Oh but you left out the other numerous meanings. There are even more but this is enough to show how disingenuous you are. A chemical substance is actually mentioned in the same definition you quoted.
Omitting the pertinent part is the definition of a troll.
Oh, read ALL the definitions of troll, you are there.

[Criticalt]

You can laugh all you want. I know what I am about, I know who my kind of people are and I know what I will do. I know what I have done. Call it rhetoric, call it what you will. I am part of the bigger picture.

I did not take anything you said, prior to the attack on your character, to mean you were going to kill or injure anyone.
I took it as a statement that you would defend you and yours if this "game" takes a violent path.
Just my observations.

I read it. Sorry Charlie, nothing in your definition about innocuous white powder or cornstarch.

But seriously, my point is the fear mongering title by OP, as I already stated. Nothing else. C'mon now, even the sensationalist NY Post got it right.... "WHITE POWDER SCARE"

The OP, a LEO allegedly, states this white powder scare means go to war. "If they want a war they will get a war!" How ridiculous (as Will has pointed out repeatedly).

Time to let it go, dude.

But you cherrypicked the definition to fit your agenda.
Its not fear mongering when there is a serious threat against our presidents family.
This is meant to say, "look, I can get to your family."
That SHOULD make any rational person think, "damn, thats crazy, someone is taking this past words and to the next level."
How far is too far for you? An actual death?
Or is that funny too?
You are either very young, or very immature to not understand the ramifications of this escalation.
The last time this happend in the USA is when TERRORISTS killed 3,000 americans and sympathizers sent powderin letters.

"innocuous white powder or cornstarch"
In the eyes of the law, this WAS a chemical substance, it was sent to be seen as dangerous substance to terrorize.
OR
Lets take this to your level of semantics.
Corn starch IS a chemical substance.

9/11 = single envelope of cornstarch?
Too funny.

"White Powder Scare" is correct.

Unfortunately, that wasn't said at all. He said he was part of the bigger picture and a playing actor and for me to sit back and enjoy the upcoming show as a spectator. That isn't defending your own.

 

[Criticalt]

Absolutely,
After 9/11 several envelopes of white powder were sent to terrorize people. They took it seriously and went to the hospital in fear for their lives.
Trumps family recieved a white powder in the mail to terrorize them. They took it seriously and went to the hospital in fear for their lives.
The point is, using the same scare tactic that was used following the biggest terror attack in US history is pretty sick.

 

[Airborneguy]

Lol. This guy is arguing over one word rather than the meat of the matter. I’m done with that semantics nonsense on this forum, happens too often. I was skimming over certain posts too quickly to realize what jackassery they were pushing.

Any overt act taken against my side is an attack. I don’t care what anyone else thinks.
