Re: Terrorist attack hotels in Mumbai - 80 dead so far hundreds injured
It seems to be, no matter how hard I try, folks around here cannot fathom what I speak, cannot comprehend to my experiences, or they simply choose not to believe. These types of people live, breath and train their entire lives to accomplish such a feat. Your life, my life, is nothing to them!
Call me stubborn, patriotic, or an arrogant American, it matters not. I carry for a reason, and will place a 125 grain .357 hollow point through the nasal cavity of any SOB who thinks they can do this around me. If I can't carry, then look up the Gerber Applegate-Fairbairn Combat Folder double bevel. Mine is slightly modified with a clip mounted on the inverse (bottom of the knife) so it can be carried inside my left sleeve. This allows it to be drawn down, away, opened, and brought up and into action in one swift movement of my right arm. If no sleeves, then it can easily be clipped inside the waistband, or carried in it's ballistic sheath long ways across the small of the back. These kinds of people only know one language, and I speak it proficiently! To pick on helpless civilian tourist in one of the most well renowned hotels in the world really gets my blood flowing. May our thoughts be with the departed, as well as the family members left behind, and give those still in holding, a watchful angel.

Re: Terrorist attack hotels in Mumbai - 80 dead so far hundreds injured
I grieve for those who have been slaughtered in this senseless attack. I feel pity for those who think that this is the best way to get their point across.
After 9/11, when the airline crackdown on supposed weapons took place, I took inventory of what I *was* allowed to bring on the plane... and realized that I still had enough weapons to be able to defend, divert, or attack as needed. Haven't needed to do that yet, and hope I don't have to. But I will...

Sheesh Felix, you really ARE The Assassin!
This is a really tough thing for me as well. I get really angry when I hear this sort of thing. It stirs emotions I would rather not bring to the surface. I try to keep in a Christian perspective, which is one of peace and love first. It's very, very hard when I read think stuff though and it's virtually a daily read. We have been given the freedom to do whatever we want, but judgment will come, and woe to those who commit these acts when it does.

People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.

While I will never condone what the $@#$#heads have done, and I hope they get what they deserve, what Yorick and machinehead have said is completely true, how can we ever hope to get anywhere if we react to violence with violence? Now I don't know the perfect solution, I don't have any idea what will make these people stop what they do (except maybe a bullet, but that isn't solving the problem) I guess some people just have violence and a stupid sense of "pride/honour" built into them through childhood that cannot be removed.
