Sick and tired of teddy bears and flowers

The next time there’s an event that calls for teddy bears and flowers, it would be nice instead to look for and elect leaders capable of seeing and dealing with these threats

If like me, you’re sick and tired of teddy bears and flowers junking up public spaces because of yet another “man-caused disaster,” then you might be interested in the following:

According to the Saturday edition of the Times of London, there are currently some “23,000 jihadist extremists” living in Britain and all are considered by The Times’ “intelligence sources” to pose a risk of violence. Some more than others, but the intelligence community maintains that all pose a “residual Risk.”

Those brave jihadists probably own a stuffed animal factory.

It would warm my heart to see Merkel, Hollande, Macron, Blair, Cameron, Trudeau, and at least another dozen current and former heads of state hanging upside-down in front of a gas station for treason.

So much better than Teddy bears.

Were I a jihadi in Europe I’d be laughing myself silly. “By the Prophet! See brothers how easy Allah has made our task! If we were to give these cowardly stupid infidels the knife they will slit their own throats!’’.

I liked the comment from a Cardinale that these outpourings of grief are never held in a church

Agree.. I am tired of flowers, stuffed teddy bears, symbolism, lights in the colors of the victims’ country, Facebook temporary cover designs, all of it. Get some real leaders like President Trump and General Mattis who doesn’t lose sleep at night but causes others to lose sleep.

I agree, except I would but the perps’ heads on pikes. It sends a better message.

Somebody should make a fighting teddy bear that is ready to fight for what is right.

I buy flowers for the women in my life because they like them. I have NEVER purchased a teddy bear for anyone. The last thing on my mind when a savage kills the innocent is a bunch of crap. Ammunition and firearms should be given out like an old fashioned Posse ride.
