Two Shot at Muhammad Art Exhibit [W:439, 529, 978, 1489]

Re: Two Shot at Muhammad Art Exhibit in Texas

Two men were killed right off. SWAT teams then went on to look for other conspirators and cordoned off the area in the process, which is what you are referring to.


Yep... a traffic cop took them down with his pistol! Damn fine shooting and finally someone out there who can hit their target and stop it where it needs to be stopped ...at the commission of the crime!

More Americans turning radical Muslim. The FBI and Justice Dept. have been tightening the screws on these turds....and citizens are fed up.....and the turds are steaming.

My family lives in Garland, and I was out visiting them last night when this occurred. That officer acted heroically. And what a shot! Got both of them in the head, as they were wearing body armor. They shot one security guard in the ankle.

If you know your bible, this is written "the serpent will strike your heel, and you will crush it's skull"

Almost prophetic

I hope they give the off duty cop a medal.

It reminds me of that old joke

You’re walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children. Suddenly, a dangerous looking man with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, raises the knife, and charges. You are carrying a Glock 40 and you are an expert shot. You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family. What do you do?
______________________________________________________________________________

Liberal’s Answer:

Well, that’s not enough information to answer the question!

+ Does the man look poor or oppressed?
+ Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack?
+ Could we run away?
+ What does my wife think? What about the kids?
+ Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand?
+ What does the law say about this situation?
+ Does the Glock have an appropriate safety built into it?
+ Why am I carrying a loaded gun and what kind of message does this send to society and my children? Is it possible he’d be happy with just killing me?
+ Does he definitely want to kill me or would he just be content to wound me?
+ If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me?

This is all so confusing! I need to debate this with some friends for a few days to try to come to a conclusion.

Re: Two Shot at Muhammad Art Exhibit in Texas

I just think it's a shame people have to stoop that low to get their opinion heard, I also think its a shame for the Police officers and all other local security forces that are put in danger due to events like these.

What's a shame is there are people who would kill over their religion, especially one acclaimed as a peaceful one.

What is shameful is those who would appease them.

/facepalm

Thanks to those who provided links to the story, btw.

Yes, we are fortunate enough to live in a country where freedom of speech is allowed; however, freedom from consequence is not allowed. WTF were these idiots thinking? "Gee, it would be fun to entice angry Muslims to come and try to kill us while we mock them?" Thankfully, it wasn't worse... but I can't imagine why anyone would think such an in-your-face outrage would be a swell idea.

Agreed. If it was a demonstration mocking Christianity, Christians would be going nuts.

And before anyone gets their knickers in a knot, I do not condone the violence that happened and have no sympathy for the perpetrators being shot to death. However, I do feel this 'exhibit' was done to provoke people of the Islam faith, maybe not to violence, but to anger them.

Absolutely! :thumbs:
 
Re: Shooting at Muhammad Art Exhibit in Texas

It's actually equal parts blaming the victim and having a very low expectation of Muslims. "Well duh, you insult Mohammed and Muslims shoot you!"

Maybe that's what Christians should do to those insulting Jesus Christ and murdering babies at abortion clinics.
 
Re: Two Shot at Muhammad Art Exhibit in Texas

I almost think the mouse trap element of this is to be lauded, not condemned.

Good riddance to bad jihadist.

Correct. Bullies will only continue their actions when you run from them or ignore them. Punching their ticket...stops the bullies in their tracks.
 
Re: Two Shot at Muhammad Art Exhibit in Texas [W:439]

My first suggestion would be for civilians to stop fanning the flames and putting themselves at risk. As I said before it isn't unprecedented for the US gov/ authorities to step in when they think that hate speech could endanger lives, if I'm not mistaken didn't your government intervene in the case of that Florida pastor?

OH C'mon Higgens!!! I don't know how many times I heard Thomas Magnum say that to Higgens when Higgens was being an idiot Brit!

**** these jihadists!

I can't be the only one amused that they tried to attack some people in Texas and we're both shot dead before they caused harm. It wasn't France. Our cops are armed to the teeth and so are the citizens.

I think it was GREAT! Finally....Muslim turds getting what they deserve!

American citizens =2............Islamic ISIS nutjobs =0

Exercising free speech doesn't come without risks and it has always been this way. Now it is Islam which is thought to be above criticism or ridicule, earlier it was the Communists, Nazis, Fascists and every other petty dictator throughout the world..

Normally there would never have been a contest like this but a point had to be made, and these people had the guts to make it.

Damn Straight! And more power to them! We don't take a back seat to the philosophy of 6th Century dopes!

Geller paid for at least 40 police to be on hand during the cartoon event. There was a SWAT team present as can be seen in the video from inside the building when shots were fired. Not quite comparable to the attack on Charlie Hebdo in Paris

Nope. Unarmed people like in France are sitting ducks for criminals and muslim turds! Geller Did Good!!!!

The best part of this is that these jihadists sons of whores got killed. To hell with them. Now if we would only starting eliminating their pals overseas by the boatload, wherever they can be located. I doubt these curs have much heart, when they're facing artillery and B-1's, rather than murdering unarmed, helpless captives.

They don't have much of a brain either after the cops bullets blew their ****ing brains out! I hope he gets a medal, a key to the city, a parade and Ammo for Life!:thumbs:

Garland is a burb of Dallas, where I live. Actually, although it's a bad idea to go gunning after a group of pickup truck bubbas in Texas without a lot of fire power, the two guys DID have a lot of fire power. They were in full body armor, had assault weapons, and there were items in their car that may have been explosives. And who killed them were not the bubbas. There was one off duty cop with a regular duty gun, and a security guard, both sitting in a car outside. The terrorists drove up and opened fire on the police car. The off duty cop got out, aimed, and killed both of 'em tout suite. The security guard was shot in the leg. He's been released from the hospital and is fine.

Two very stupid terrorists. Dead as a doornail, now. Rightly so. All because they don't recognize free speech. Yeah, the group's event was goading the muslims and done intentionally to anger them. But they have a right to do that.

Yes they do. Maybe some future events will smolke out more of these nutjob.

We are at war with Islam and obama is an idiot for saying otherwise!
 
Re: Two Shot at Muhammad Art Exhibit in Texas [W:439]

Yes, both of these muslim scum....just joined ISIS!

Good ploy! Try to divert to THE CHRISTIANS!!! the CHRISTIANS!!!...except...I havent read too often about Amish or Mennonite women being butchered for wearing more revealing clothing, have you?

The ignorance expressed here, which is all too common, is a fine example as to why the conflict between radical Islamists and Western cultural expectations continues.

The jihadist welcomes death, he is guaranteed a place in heaven. They want to be threatened, it is not rational but they are joyous when the bombs rain down. The texts and tweets of the two in Garland clearly say they were going to their deaths, the fact they failed to kill any of those who insult the Prophet did not matter to them, for their deaths were statements of their faith.

The first picture wasn't Amish or Mennonite women, they're FLDS women and if he was trying to use them as examples of Christians, he's mistaken

We're glad to accommodate them in their pursuit of death

Others have noted certain similarities between radical Christians and radical Muslims

THEY call themselves Christian. So, once again, the No True Scotsman fallacy is called upon in a weak attempt at diversion

They call themselves Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints. I've never heard them call themselves Christians and nothing in their behavior is Christian.
 
Re: Shooting at Muhammad Art Exhibit in Texas

Simplicity works well for some.
He ignores the reality that where the rubber meets the road, the radical Muslims have more in common with socialists than Christians in that they both use force to make [people accept ideology and behavior

They could be mutant aliens from Mars...its irrelevant. What he was doing is what people like him ALWAYS do....try to divert and shriek about THE CHRISTIANS!!! THE CHRISTIANS!!! THE CHRISTIANS!!! See post 518 for another example.

Honor killing in Houston? OK...but ...The Christians! 40 dead gay men swinging by their necks from bridges and construction cranes in IRan...but that CHRISTIANS!!! the CHRISTIANS!!! 3200 butchered children left in a field with their heads crushed by rocks, many of whom had been brutally raped while the rest were forced to watch...well...what about the Crusades and THE CHRISTIANS!!! the CHRISTIANS!!!

FLDS...Amish...Mennonite...Baptist...Im sure they all have their quirks. THEY didnt just send avowed jihadi mercenaries to kill people for daring to draw pictures.

"Honor killing" under growing scrutiny in the U.S. - CBS News
