Not again - Another bomber

[SoND]

Some dumb-dumb has pleaded guilty to planning to bomb a restaurant.

Pressure bomb, or nuclear bomb he still went in there with intent. Not his fault he is a few marbles short of mass destruction is it?

When is a Terrorist not a Terrorist? Just because he failed doesn't mean that the intent wasn't there.

In his defence, he does apparently have the mental age of 10, so it would have been easier to brainwash him and he might not have fully understood what he was doing.

Mmm...

His mental age is a mitigating circumstance, I imagine the sentance will be adjusted accordingly.

On the topic of a 'terrorist on every corner,' they have used this to further the idea that we're all doomed. I don't buy into the idea at all.

If I had to make a list of things I fear in order of how much it keeps me awake at night, seeing my flatmate naked & spiders are much higher up the list than terrorism.

i think hes referring to at what point do terrorists become such a threat they deserve the hype/attention/Focus they are receiving..rather than at what point does a person become a terrorist/if they achived it or not etc.. personally i would say (my view only) this numb fuck would"t of gone down this path if it weren't sensationalized on tv to the degree its been..the live wire tapping of every electronic communications device in the uk.all the up stepped security/people being searched under the anti terrorism act for putting there hands in there pockets..the mass fucking hysteria..and this is the threat please lady's...go back to read "heat" or what ever other gossip magazine that blows things out of all proportions and has the words "RAPE" "DEATH" "HE MADE ME EAT MY PET GOAT AND HAVE SEX WITH MY HORSE" on the front cover in HUGE dramatic letters.. there is no place for you within the police force or government.

ps im not sexist im just referring to the "eewhhaa arrgh no omg omg omg eek no no no terror eek nooooo omg ekkkk characteristic displayed by those in power which can be compared to omg omg omg the gossip omg omg ekkk have u heard omg

[SoND]

I'm not saying there's no intent at all, of course there is intent, we're hated all over the world. If there was as much intent as government would have us believe then they wouldn't have to clutch straws at crappy plots like this though. What's happening because of all these crap plots? Free speech zones, compulsory ID cards, full surveilance of the internet/electronics etc etc because of dumb-dumbs like this.

Over the past 7 years we've went to the middle east under the flimsy guise of terrorism slaughtering everyone in sight. Without that being bad enough we did it after the first gulf war which already destroyed Iraq. We obviously didn't do a good enough job the first time so we had to come back and fuck them to death that little bit more.

Then our leaders have the audacity to say, "They hate our freedoms and democracy" and they want to kill civilians because of that.

Infact I'm actually suprised there hasn't been a lot more 'terrorism' aimed at government. They're murdering scum and our society continues to let them get away with it so long as the cheap toys keep coming in to keep everyone distracted.

imagine this level of insecurity and fear handing out by the government of the time,say in world war two..the blitz/blanket bombings of city's..can you imagine the effect..just for a moment?

should be teaching the nation to stand strong/fear nothing/be watchful and deal with the situation in an effective way.. i remember when they tried to attack a airport terminal..it was live on tv for hours and replayed for days.. a car on fire that had crashed into the doors..live tv shot for hours and hours "terro terro terro" at the bottom of the screen...serious situation for those who faced it i have no doubt...perhaps if it made the 6 oclock news and the ten o clock news for a 2 minute report..it would of only effected say..the 200 people who were there?

[pa_broon74]

I see what you mean. I don't believe they are entitled to any more coverage than a normal criminal.

What I've recently noticed is the coverage of the actual act is sky high (as with the Glasgow airport thing, wasn't even a bomb as such.) The trial gets much less coverage, the verdict tends not even to make the front page.

Tbh, the airport thing was cool because a Glasgow bloke smacked a burning man in the face. Or something.

I love pretending I know stuff.

and for the next round of mass hysteria to produce crippling effects when combined with terroism safe guards we have global warming..yes thats right..its as fake and as easily proved to be of that nature as terroism..the next American president is going to declare Co2 a “Dangerous Pollutant”..you will have a carbon credit system..which is going to be a crippling tax world wide!

your hard earned money paid straight to the bankers take a listen to "david rothschild" (hey hey you remember him right,from the 500 trillion crew) going on about global warming and how we need to stop it..when given the fact that the icecaps on mars are melting in the same manner as earths,along with the moons of Saturn and Jupiter,how are suv"s causing that?

his response: thats because those planets are closer to the sun my friend.

yes thats right! the people pushing the global warming hysteria and calling for huge measures to be put in places don't even know the order of the planets within the solar system..imagine how much of a fucking mug one would have to be to be taken by these fools..i guess earths a giant fucking dish washer or something.

the Epic Fail of history lies within the hands of the western populations of this day..these people go on unhindered pushing there agendas yet could be disabled with a debate alone within minutes..the system coming into force is going to be paralyzing-and once its established..there is no going back.

[colin1]

The current terrorist threat doesnt quite seem up to the standard of the IRA.

is it just the media pushing a set reality or are the gov involved at a deeper level?the media lies,time and time again,the Russians attacking Georgia,, in an unprovoked manner for instance..thats what we heard for a while right? all Russia Russia Russia,i found that one funny as the rest of the world knew for a fact it was Georgia who started it,and the west as usual were being taken for mugs..

[pa_broon74]

Geoff Hoon said last night on Question Time that he'd do anything (yes: ANYTHING) to stop terrorism. This during the chit chat on the ID card database.

I see the tories fielded yet another ineffectual ditherer too.

They talked as if there really is a terrorist behind every tree, it was actually quite funny bordering on hysterical.

Yeah it's funny until you realise how serious they are about it and what they're going to do to us because of it.

Want to know how serious the IRA threat was compared to the amateur jokers who call themselves terrorists now?

When I was 13, I was in the Air cadets and I wasn't allowed to wear my uniform. I had to change into it once I got to the cadet hut.

In Northern Ireland the SCOUTS weren't allowed to wear their uniform.

Members of the REAL armed forces weren't allowed to wear their uniforms out in public except when on duty.

Know why? In case they were shot by an IRA sniper. It wasn't an idle threat, everyone at the time considered it a sensible precaution.

We had to check underneath our cadet minibus with a little mirror on wheels to make sure there wasn't as bomb there.

I had to make a list of all Irish people I knew to determine if they were a security risk before I was allowed to join the TA.

If you left a bag unattended in a sensitive area, you didn't get some peak-capped guy whinging at you. It was cordoned off, taken away and blown up.

The IRA sucessfully blew up the hotel the prime minister and most of the cabinet were staying in with a bomb in 1984, despite massively strong security. They sucessfully landed several improvised mortars out of the back of a van into the garden of 10 Downing Street

Hell, look at the suspected loyalist paramilitary arms dump they found on Friday. That's 80 real guns folks. Not the crude sort of exploding plastic bottle I used to make at school for a bit of a laugh.

Barely made the news.
