Terror at the Mall? (American shopping malls to be the next major terrorist targets?)

My work took me to an Octagon size Mall in Lancaster about 8 yrs ago or so...there were bomb threats there..cleared out the whole Mall more than once.

This Mall was huge..8’sections went out from the center court, which that alone was large enough to hold a carousel plus food bays, each section like a typical style mall.

I prefer the set up of our older mall. It started out as your basic strip mall and grew. I like the fact that I can park all the way around the place and walk into any of the stores directly off the street without having to go through the place.

Bingo...

fwiw, this article is a year old...
..may be timely, who knows...but it's a year old.

How do you know that ? The link shows the article to be written on January 24,2010

I always carry concealed when going to any mall, and I am particularly well armed during holiday shopping season

My gut feeling is that it will be schools that will be hit. In several states all within the same time zone, all at once.

There is a precedent for this in the Beslan school hostage terror just a mere 5 years ago in Russia.

Children and teachers were held hostage by Chechen terrorists. On the third day of the standoff, Russian security forces stormed the building, using tanks, thermobaric rockets, and other heavy weapons. A series of explosions shook the school, followed by a fire which engulfed the building and a chaotic gun battle between the hostage-takers and Russian security forces. Ultimately, at least 334 hostages were killed, including 186 children; hundreds more were injured and many were reported missing.

May God protect America from a horror like this.

What makes it unfeasible??? And what indicates that it has not been attempted, or will be attempted at all in the future???

Anything is possible, no matter how well we are prepared for it, the terrorists only have to be right one time...We have to be right 100% of the time, right???

I hate it as much as you do that this is really a wait and see kind of situation...Because there is not much that can be done to stop it from happening...

That was one of the most diabolical terrorist attacks in history.

I would hope it cannot happen here, but it has already happened on a small scale, when that pervert went into an Amish schoolhouse in Pennsylvania and killed many innocent children.

They count on the Democrats and the media to assist them as they do.

True. Neither Democrats and most media refuse to identify the cause of most terrorism in the world, yet alone dealing with it. Looking at the UK as an example of what this behavior has wrought, they have sharia law, imams who dictate whether or not they can be deported or prosecuted for incitement and a hotbead of wannabe jihadis in the making (ie Christmas Day crotch-bomber).

The circus trial coming up in NY will be a lectern for terrorists to their wannabes, let alone massive expense in a city and nation that are already in financial crisis mode.

Bin Laden - Goal is to bankrupt US

Snips: "We are continuing this policy in bleeding America to the point of bankruptcy. Allah willing, and nothing is too great for Allah," bin Laden said in the transcript.

As part of the "bleed-until-bankruptcy plan," bin Laden cited a British estimate that it cost al Qaeda about $500,000 to carry out the attacks of September 11, 2001, an amount that he said paled in comparison with the costs incurred by the United States.

"Every dollar of al Qaeda defeated a million dollars, by the permission of Allah, besides the loss of a huge number of jobs," he said. "As for the economic deficit, it has reached record astronomical numbers estimated to total more than a trillion dollars.

1/24/2009...it's directly under the headline.

That would be January 24, 2009

Today is January 24, 2010

[MamaDearest]

Let's let the security systems, CIA, FBI, etc.. do their jobs without tying their hands and/or threatening to prosecute them for doing it.

There's a Navy Seal asking why he is being punished for doing his job and an administration including Nancy (she who insinuates the CIA are liars) Pelosi who could care less if he rotted in a cell for doing what Americans expect Navy Seals to do. That Obama will not call Islamic terrorism what it IS and that he will not call for the immediate release of the Navy Seal who did what he was expected to do bodes poorly for what Americans see as a seriously flawed attitude towards the military and towards the CIA and FBI.

Homeland Security has spent substantial effort in fighting Sheriff Joe Arpaio to advance the administration's Amnesty goals and suppressing the apprehension of illegal aliens in our nation.

It’s a typo. The actual article ( click on the link ) says it is 01/24/2010.

He is doing a great job with the part about financially breaking us.

Bump.

[Reddy]

Sadly, I think the next attacks will occur at schools (like Beslan) or big churches. I hope I am wrong.

[peteram]

Many businesses are moving out of one of our major malls. One shop owner says the mall looks like a ghost town these days. Some target.

FReepers have been writing about these kinds of attacks since 9-11. If it were at all feasible, the terrorists would have done it already.

I remember the afternoon of the 9-11 attack. I was watching an IDIOT on the news. His JOB was to consider the ways a terrorist attack may be carried out and to prevent them. He said, "no one could have imagined carrying out a terrorist attack like this".

Really? No one? Well obviously SOMEONE imagined it. This same guy would have probably agreed with you, particularly if you had told him on 9-10-2001 that the World Trade Towers can't be brought down because if it were at all feasible the terrorists would have done it already.

I can think of so very many easy targets in the US. So many ways that substantial death and economic problems could be enacted. The idea that they will not happen because thay have not happened yet is beyond laughable.

[Nitehawk0325]

You are exactly right on both points.
If Sheriff Joe Arpaio got the job as the Homeland Security leader, I can only imagine what great things he would and could do. He would say millions of dollars on prison reform. He would push to get the borders closed, both northern and southern borders. There would profiling at the airports. But, he would also have every civil rights attorney and agency trying to get him threw in jail just like the Navy SEAL. For what, for doing what he is supposed to be doing, protecting our people and our country.
With idiots in office like Obama, Nazi Pelosi, Harry Reid, John McCain, for just a few, this country doesn't stand a snowballs’ chance in hell. We need to get all these people out of office and put more conservative people in office. Unfortunately, the Belt Way around Washington DC has been known to corrupt even some of the best of people.
