Czech President shot
« on: October 01, 2012, 12:24:06 PM »
With an airsoft pistol...  and the shooter walked away.

The Czech secret service (or whatever they call their presidential body guards) are really on the ball! /sarcasm

If it has been a real gun, and it could easily have been, that Czech would be canceled.

Thats why were going all WTF man!? Its a total failure of the security force.

apparently none of those folks, you know the ones actually there looking at it from all angles, were that worried about it being a real gun.  in fact junior gave an interview so was it cite and release?

total fail?  really?  who got hurt again?

If it isn't obvious to you how it's a total failure, then no words of mine will convey the problem.

Junior Airsoft just proved how simple it is to get within easy shooting distance of the Czech president.  Next time it may not be an airsoft.  The president's security team need to up their game security procedures.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Which are supposed to be mitigated as much as possible by the security detail. It's what they train for, are paid for, yet weren't doing in this instance.

Really? Was there a real threat they missed? Was a guy with airsoft dangerous? Wouldn't reactimg to a guy with a toy while their principle was still neck deep in a crowd have been "security theatre"_

I guess after he shot their "principle" they knew whether or not he was a threat. After he shot him.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.
