Kooky.

By the way I think most of the victims of 9/11 would be considered elites.
Doctors, Engineers, Physicists, Scientists, Researchers people that drive progress.....Elites. all these "elite haters" should never visit a doctor, drive cars, live in buildings, or use technology....all these are brought to us by elites.

Sigh...... Let me explain it to you in terms you may understand. Do you worry about getting killed in an airplane accident? Do you worry about choking to death on your food? Do you worry about being poisoned to death? The odds of dying in a terrorist attack in the US at least are less than the above.
Sigh... let me explain it in terms that you may understand, but I am not sure you will understand the nuance of the issue. I gave you a really good example of a situation where the odds do not really matter, it is about what we have learned. We learned that lightening is very dangerous,and that we should stay away.

Islamic terrorism is in the same category. Now part of that is fueled by a bit of paranoia. But a big part of that is a result of the constant propaganda and threats from Islamic Terrorists. We did not create a fear of lightening, and we did not manufacture the fear of Islamic terrorism, but both have been ingrained in the psyche of most people around the world. That is not 100% our fault.

I agree that it is not worth getting "worked up" about, but it is also silly not to take some precautions. As I write this, I ask myself the question if I was given a free trip to London, would I take it? The answer is a solid maybe. Will I stay away from any Canada Day celebrations? Normally, I would say definitely not, but my answer is maybe.

Finally, the reality is that we in Canada are overdue for an attack, it is only a matter of time.

Again not to detract from the problem of terrorism ..... But you have a higher probability of dying from an accident today than you do from an actual terror attack. People who are often scared of things that have a low probability of occuring really shouldn't be hobbying ... You might catch an STD, you might get robbed, you might get arrested or you might wake up in a bathtub full of ice with a kidney missing....hobbying is definately for guys like y'all. Live your life, eat right, exercise, work hard, play hard and treat people like you would like to be treated and you will be alright.
On yet another day where there was a workplace shooting in the US, I wonder at the paranoia about terrorists. Yes, I'm glad our security institutions are prepared for all occurrences but the people constantly worrying about terror are exactly what ISIS etc. want.

I see you completely missed the point. I guess you are one of those parents who sends his kids out to play in a lightening storm and you dont really think anyone should worry about climate change
His point is people who constantly worried about terrorism (or use it as an excuse to promote hatred) aren't living in a world of reality. And I don't see anyone saying the police shouldn't be prepared, just that the public shouldn't obsess over something extremely unlikely.

Don't worry, our Prime Minister is well protected by people with guns. The rest of us, well, we can hold a tearful vigil, afterwards.
Seems some will be too busy hiding in their basement to do either. I will bet you more Canadians will be killed in driving accidents this weekend than in a terror attack. I'll even give odds.

It's a good thing the shooter killed himself and not by police, we don't want BLM to go apeshit again.
Nice dodge. You first were hoping that it was a Muslim in a terror attacks but since it turned out otherwise you now go after BLM for some reason.

Authorities are surrounding Nathan Phillips Square with empty yellow school buses.

It can't be because of an Islamic terrorist threat.

So it must be a new symbol for Canada day,...goes well with a rubber duck I guess.

This terrorist threat may be overblown at this point.

When ISIS had foreign fighters coming and going into the territory they controlled, well yeah, they had their trained people going everywhere in the world.

Now with Daesh having loss its state ... well ... what's the point now? If the war is over for Daesh, it's over.

Your two posts say "blame the victim because they are afraid"

You don't see anyone saying "police should not be prepared" but if someone says they are concerned, you and your friends insinuate they are paranoid or that they are using that concern as an excuse to promote hatred, or just call them cowards.

BTW,aren't you one of the guys who is constantly worried about Donald Trump's tweets or that Trump is the Anti Christ who will bring the destruction of America and enslave all ethnic groups in America.
Are you living in a world of reality or are you just using it as an excuse to promote hatred???
I don't see anyone saying Trump should be killed or impeached, just that the public shouldn't be obsessed over something extremely unlikely!!!
