i find it ironic that monster that was created to supposedly protect us will come back home to consume us.

-no later than the end of next year, if not the end of this one..

Great picture BTW.

Would the allied forces have fared better if we stormed Normandy on those goofy gizmos?

If America falls into fascism, I swear it will be this “anti-terrorism” laws that led the way.

… and the GOP convinced a fearful public that we needed to give up freedom for security.

The Special Wheels And Tactics Squad had grown tired of the laughter from the other cops. This time would be different. They were ready as they entered the Dunkin' Donuts parking lot.

Bollocks its an isolated incident. And, even if it were, we’ll be seeing an awful lot more of them before too long thanks to the proposed EU law that legalizes cops to shoot to kill in many many ways (such as running away from them or having a mental illness).
Its tough shit if you get one of em’ mad and you happen to fall into one of the expanding categories that lets them shoot you with no questions asked, before OR after.

In an isolated incident, a crazy guy walks into an Armed Forces recruiting center and kills and faces murder charges and 16 counts of terrorism. A crazy guy walks into a church and kills a church volunteer that happens to have been the victim of previous violence, as he and others in his career path have, and terrorism charges aren’t even thought about. Go figure.
