I didn’t dispute the poster’s word. First off, the poster was not a witness to this astounding “incident” of four men talking in a church hallway, seen by one lady.

Yes “it” can happen anywhere.

And the “it” in this case is exactly what?

We have posts here arming the whole congregation, posting armed guards, walkie talkies everywhere, plans for triage, we even have someone saying to kill them all so we don’t have to have the guards.

And this was a reasonable response to a woman seeing four men?

Quisling. Are you familiar with that name?

Less than a year ago, the 'underwear' bomber, intended to explode over Detriot.

Days ago, the bombs on UPS and FedEx planes.

Yet you discount a FReeper's accounts of activities going on in his own church? With witnesses? In SE Michigan? Near Dearborn?

Conclusion? You're an idiot.

Chode, I borrowed your Beslan image. I have a copy somewhere but ran across yours first.

It's a discussion. You seem to take the position that we aren't capable of deciding for ourselves what is or is not appropriate. You have your opinion and are entitled to it. I have mine. Having guns in the vestry might be precisely what is necessary. or perhaps people could have them in the trunks of their cars. The point, I think, is that one cannot be expected to wait for the police/FBI/Army to take action. I prefer to take care of myself and my own, whether at home or in church.

We need to contemplate the "unthinkable" if only to avoid it.
