The Hostage Situation In St. Joseph
The Hayride ^ | 13 August 13 | Macoidh

Posted on 08/13/2013 6:01:55 PM PDT by LSUfan

It looks as if there is something a little more going on than your typical bank robbery-gone-wrong scenario in St. Joseph this afternoon. What’s on the wires at present is this. Someone with what might be an automatic weapon has holed himself up in the Tensas State Bank in that sleepy burg along the Mississippi about 20 miles north of Natchez, and he apparently has at least three bank employees holed up with him. A state police hostage negotiator is on the scene, and it’s a developing situation.

That’s what we know.

Here’s what the grapevine is spitting out. First, a couple of miles up the river from St. Joseph, on the Mississippi side of the river, is the Grand Gulf nuclear power plant. This is important because some new arrivals to town have been freaking out the locals. It seems the new arrivals are Yemenis. And the locals are freaked out because they’re scared the new people in town have evil designs on Grand Gulf. Second, we’re told by someone in law enforcement who is in a position to offer actual knowledge of the case that the suspect in question is of Middle Eastern descent, with a name on his driver’s license indicating that he is of a particular cultural and religious persuasion not common to the Mississippi Delta, and that the suspect is 20 years old.

Let’s hope we not see another act of workplace violence upon those poor bank employees. Kinda makes you want to welcome more refugees from Syria with open arms, don’t it? /s

Just imagine if one of these manages to get one of those Benghazi stolen rockets and aims it a nuclear power plant .

If people come across our borders daily they can cross with a rocket too

Imagine 100,000 muslim jihadis here on H-1B, L-1, refugee and expired student visas working in power plants, fertilizer factories, refineries, chemical manufacturers, hospitals, utilities, dams, pharmaceutical formulators, web hub server farms, municipal water supply facilities, sewage treatment plants, meat packing and food processing plants, driving HazMat trucks...

Remember when the Vietcong took over Huế? They were able to round up every government official, march them all off into the jungle and kill every last one of them in one single night.

They knew exactly where they lived, who they visited, where they shopped and where they ate dinner, and when.

How you ask?

The cabbies had been providing the Vietcong daily reports on their every move for years in advance.

Soooo, where do most of the cabbies in your berg come from? In Washington DC, it's Somalia...

Just because we've forgotten the lessons of Huế and the lessons of the Sepoy Rebellion's "The Perfect Day" doesn't mean our enemies have.

Wiki seems mute on The Perfect Day. That information used to be readily available there. Now it's barely mentioned.

What in Heaven’s name are they doing in St. Joe of all places? Maybe someone should starting running a load of little porkers through the old stockyards two or three times a day.

You’d think they would go to a large city to “blend in”. Surprised more St. Joe’s residents don’t try getting them out of there.
