Interesting article about the shootings and the dangers of infiltrators. Article points out police stations are high risk for these attacks.

Very true. Obviously, these are big, strong men who don't simply attack foes unable to fight back... oh, wait... nevermind... Police stations are probably pretty safe.

11,000 Mulsims on the Armed Forces. Let’s say half are jihadists. If each has a goal of killing at least 12 soldiers, that’s 66000 soldiers, or 22 times the number of people killed on 9-11.

I’m guessing a police station attack would be carried out by a suicide bomber.

Yesterday afternoon, we kept hearing about a second shooter at another location, and that he was “on the loose”. AP was reporting there were “dual shootings”, that the second location was a theater.

Today...nothing. Not a word about a second shooter or location. What’s going on here???

Good question. Expect NO ANSWERS!

Where TF is FOX?

"Is it possible that the Fort Hood shooter was not working with a large terror group? Of course. One does not have to be a member of a large organization to be a terrorist. If the actions further the cause of the terror group and the actions are meant to further the cause, those who carry out those attacks are terrorists. To dismiss this attack as the act of one crazy gunman would be perilous. Small cells have plotted to hit U.S. Military targets with increasing numbers. And there are more waiting in the wings. Look for police stations to be hit in the future."

I still don’t see how one man with two handguns can fire more than 50 rounds at a group of trained people without somebody beating the crap out of him while he reloads.

Sorry, I may have misunderstood your comment. What are you saying or is my brain mush?

Cathy, you misunderstand me. I am also from a deep legacy law enforcement family.

My point, apparently poorly-enough stated to upset you, is that the jihadists are cowards. They will only attack those unable to defend themselves. That is why the article’s author is wrong about police stations being on the list of next possible targets... the police are very capable of defending themselves and too much for the enemy.

They can’t face our military head-on when they are on their guard so the jihadists take advantage of our hospitality and civility to kill us in our sleep.

I hope I have explained it better. God bless you.

Exactly. Say he has a 45 in each hand. He has to put one pistol down, remove the mag., reach into his pocket, pull out another mag., insert it into the pistol and load a round into the chamber. Now everyone around him is military. During those 10 seconds or so, should we assume no one would rush him?? BULL! We have service people in battle who, in a few seconds, jump on hand grenades, without thinking.

Muslims in the military should be considered a security risk.

[MrB]

Military folks would have the training not to “freeze” like most of us civies would do when faced with an active shooter.

Reloading a semi-automatic pistol is so quick that if you look away for a second you might not even realize that he just reloaded. This video will show you how quick it can be.

[Drill Thrawl]

With a little practice you can reload a semi auto in less that two seconds. How far can you run from a dead stop in two seconds?

[Eyes Unclouded]

When your in combat you might have a chance, reloading pistols only takes three to five seconds if you have proper training, but when your there in line small talking about whatever and all of a sudden shots from no where it isn’t that easy.

Honestly I don’t know if we will ever get the entire truth here. There will be too much white washing and every attempt to paint this as a lone lunatic rather than something more. It was more.
