R.I.P. Scout26
It appears that motor vehicles are the new weapon of choice for terrorists in urban areas. How many is this now? Paris, London, Columbus, this one? Scary. Keep yourself alert out in public, boys and girls.
Kind of makes you think about your concealed handgun selection when carrying the threat might come from a motor vehicle. I thought I remember at least one podcast guy talk about 10mm instead of smaller guns. Hard to say how one of those people would react if bullets started coming through the windshield.
It does. My thought is that getting out of the way may be the only real option. Since these guys tend to drive until the vehicle stops, then come out swinging a machete, gotta think that getting out of the way of the truck is Step 1, and Step 2 is to watch for the guy playing Zorro when the truck/car stops.
If you have time to draw and fire before or while getting out of the way, it ought to help the situation.
That could go very poorly. Who's to say it's a terrorist attack? What happens if you fire upon a vehicle, only to later discover the driver was having a seizure or something?
Death toll seems to be 4, along with 15 injured. One person arrested, a 39-year old man from Uzbekistan, who has previously expressed sympathies for ISIS. Apparently, he's already confessed.
Remember the left mocking conservatives over the 'poisonous skittle' analogy? Sweden just ate one.
What's the big deal? Only 3 people died. They can easily absorb that. And after all, what's a few dead Westerners compared to the smug satisfaction their rulers feel in importing the downtrodden and making the rabble deal with them.
I always wanted to point out the logic flaw in the poisonous skittle analogy. YOU aren't eating the skittles, you're statistically overwhelmingly giving them to OTHER people at random. Most of the people who reshared that flawed analogy also were trying to tell said other people that the skittles are harmless instead of admitting that a handful are guaranteed to be poisonous. Thing is, I don't disagree with the underlying notion of the poisonous skittle analogy. I support immigration (the legal kind) and accept that while the overwhelming majority aren't a problem, there will always be a handful of bad people. One would want to be intelligent about the matter in terms of numbers, background checks, etc but that doesn't change the fact that no screening will ever be perfect.
