Airport bombing in Turkey

Post by Precision »

Early reports said 28 dead. Newer reports are saying 50 and very likely to increase.

Sitting in the hospital listening to Fox News for the last 3 hours. On each of the shows. (the 5, the next show, now Greta) they each bring the topic over to the US and what we need to do as a preventative measure. On each show they talk about trading liberty for security. There are mouth noises made about surveillance, armed cops at check points...

Not a ONE of them discuss making airports NOT GUN FREE for the good guys. Not a one of them have suggested that more liberty might be the answer. Not one suggested that the bottleneck of security just makes bigger, more concentrated targets. Greg Gutfeld did make mention of more Orwell not being the answer, but then suggested check points for searching further out.

Dawn misses Fox News on our new Roku rig. I can assure you, I do not.

As a member of the NRA, I would like to apologize for my fellow members for causing this.

I blame the Lutheran's and their weaponized tuna casserole with cheese that has been sitting in the church basement refrigerator since forever. They'll go out and blow them selves up rather than offend the pastor's wife and refuse to eat it.

That's the 2nd place in Turkey that I've been that's been bombed recently. I guess most ppl visiting Turkey make their way thru Ataturk airport, though. The other place was at a park in Ankara.

Won't be going back any time soon...

I find it hard to generate much sympathy for the Turks. "Oh we are Muslims, they won't mess with us while we try to re-establish the Caliphate over the Arabs and Iranians. " :twisted:
