I believe an attack is inevitable! I don't believe it will be from the cartels, they have too much money to lose. It will come from a foreign adversary. Hide and watch!
The point of my original post was not to compare guns and knifes. It was to point out that it does not take a large group of people to create havoc.terriorists do not square off to fight.They come by surprise as we saw in Isreal and New York last week. When a young man was out of no where was stabbed to death.If you have a mini gun and someone walks past you and shoves a knife in your back.your just as deadAnother old saying, dont bring a knife to a gun fight.
I see daily illegals on the corner looking for work, mexican gangs in my suburbs being arrested by local PD and then the usual thugs of everyday life.
I do not go around paranoid, but I dont stick my head in the sand either.
Whether its 1973, 1993 or 2023, there are always people that will harm others.
I want to defend myself. Thats not paranoid, thats smart thinking
I drive 30 miles to workYou should think of moving to a different neighborhood.
Don't Worry. "Coming to a neighborhood near you soon" !You should think of moving to a different neighborhood.
I know what your point was, I chose to ignore it because you were making an assumption with little pertinent data.The point of my original post was not to compare guns and knifes.

And it has been happening since the 60s all over Europe, and you don't know a single thing about it so you do assume it doesn't exist and it's all based on the white man afraid of the brown, black, yellow or rainbow. Utter nonsense!Oh please, that scare tactic that has been promoted by certain groups dating back to the racial strife of the 50’s and 60’s. The only thing difference over the years is the racial group they want to promote as rioters or terrorists.

Let me tell you that being an infantry man in full military gear patrolling the streets of your own country to prevent some jackass from blowing himself up in a children's playground or drive a truck filled with explosives into an elementary school is not something I will wish to any place in the world, yet I can tell you it exists and is a daily reality. The fact that the US has been exempt so far doesn't mean it will forever be.
Some of us have lived this reality firsthand and are able to recognize the patterns as they are identical, the excuses are also identical and unfortunately systematically proven to be naive and wrong. This is not "scare tactics", but a reality that you can scoff at as much as you want. You don't have to be scared, simply be prepared, able and helpful if the need arises.
Ah, so now I need a pedigree and exact coordinates to dare disagree with your naive understanding of the world?And exactly where was this you were patrolling the streets in full military gear?
Yea ! I went through that crap to.Oh please, that scare tactic that has been promoted by certain groups dating back to the racial strife of the 50’s and 60’s. The only thing difference over the years is the racial group they want to promote as rioters or terrorists.

I just wonder, who the heck do you think you are? Learn a little bit of history and you will now that the army has been patrolling Europeans streets for decades. I should get mad for your comments, but I've been taught never to shoot the ambulance.
Here's a few example around Europe alone:
France:

Front guy is a racist I suppose
Another racist paranoid, England:

And another one, racist galore I tell you, Belgium
View attachment 44888
Is this enough for His Majesty? If you knew anything, you would know that this has been the norm for decades.
Me? First picture was my location (along with others such as Djibouti and Bosnia, but I digress, nothing to see there), and the front man looks really similar, but much younger than I am now. Go ahead, call me white supremacist or nazi or whatever your beloved media tells you to think and say
Sorry, I'm not a mighty hunter/reloader so my opinion and understanding of embedded terrorist cells in Europe and its potential spread into the US is not worth a penny
A little bit of light reading for you, since these things never happen and it's all racism and paranoia: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-34832512

Now my turn: what are your credentials to allow you to speak with such aplomb and talk down to your peers and discard their opinion as stupidity and bigotry? After all, many of these fine people you call racist and paranoid are the very same ones responsible for your being allowed to speak freely...
Well, a one off probably would be. A coordinated attack involving thousands of people or tens of thousands of people who have been " In country" for years, with a larger objective than just abject terror, will have to take places other than big cities into consideration. Out here, we have all the guns.None
I didn't call anyone on this forum racist, but without a doubt some are paranoid thanks to all the doomsday news we are inundated with. I'm not putting anyone on this forum down.
Your photos were not taken in North America and please don't compare the U.S. to European or other countries. Can an attack happen in the U.S., absolutely, but it won't be in my neighborhood. It will be in one of the large cities.
As for my credentials to speak freely, it's called Amendment one to the U.S. Constitution which includes freedom of speech. A constitution I swore to support and defend when I enlisted in the military. I served from 1964 to 1970 which included one tour of duty in SEA, so get off your high horse.
High horse, what are you talking about? You asked me, I responded, you were proved ignorant and are having a hissy fit now with more insults. Simple as that. You, on the contrary, have offered no data to back up your statement. I am going to ask you again: what are the credentials you have to claim that all of this is impossible and simply paranoia? Don't bother responding, I know the answer already.None

Here's the Border Patrol numbers at OUR (US) Southern border. I thought I knew geography well enough, but I don't recognize any of these South American nationalitiesSo there is footage of large crowds of Muslims in the Sydney Opera House chanting " Gas the Jews". A soccer match in Ireland with large groups of Muslims waving Palestinian flags and chanting, rallies on the streets of London. The NY DNS held a rally yesterday in support of Palestine, which was roundly condemned, even by Hochul, AOC, Eric whatshisface and all the squad members except Tlaib and the other one from up nort. A liberal senator from somewhere called out the media in a tweet accusing them of sanitizing terrorists by not calling them terrorists, instead calling them Palestinian militants.
This is what happens when you have a democratic socialist leaning government that decides it's perfectly fine to start allowing large groups of people from countries that hate us and our way of life to immigrate here.
