  1. Are we there yet?
     
  2. If yesterday's shootings in USA are Isil related they are going to have a major problem on their hands! In a country where you can purchase an AR15 if you have photo ID and no criminal record as easy as buying a fridge it's gonna get very bad very quick.Then there's the backlash - survivalists,militia,redneck nutters,Klu klux klan all racist loons and armed to the teeth with automatic weapons,grenades and rocket launchers etc.People will be openly carrying arms and busting to use them!Bad shit

  3. Fair enough. And I'd forgotten about his dubious links with PIRA. That doesn't sit well with me at all. Fucker!

  4. I'm amazed it hasn't happened sooner. Admittedly America hasn't indulged in politically motivated mass immigration the way Britain has and Muslims in the US tend to be much better integrated than Muslims here. But even so it was only a matter of time. If you want to commit a Paris style atrocity there can be few countries where it is easier to do it than the US. The flip side is you won't live very long before somebody nails you but Muslims fanatics don't care about that and you only need a few seconds to wreak mayhem with an automatic weapon.

  5. I knew guy who was very senior in the security services in Northern Ireland. Plain clothes, always armed and a catholic. He told me could easily of ended up in the PIRA.

    Through the time I knew him he had few brushes with lower ranking, uniformed members of the security services which made me wonder if he thought, at times, perhaps he chose the wrong side. I never asked him of course, because he would never seriously consider such a proposition, but when some knucklehead has your wife by the throat against a wall you probably don't think in a rational way.
     
  6. I could bore you to tears with security stories in NI. Not from me, never been. But like yourself I know people who operated there. Suffice to say, I know which side of the line I stand. And it's the British side.
     
  7. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer that way you know what your enemies are up to
     
  8. i think there closer than you imagine. quite possibly bed mates.
     
  9. I lived with a guy 20 odd years ago who was in the snatch squad, absolute nutter but a great laugh....the snatch squad: Back when they were actively rioting in the streets the snatch squad would attend a riot with shields around them (a la roman style) find the ringleader and then a bloke would run out with a rope attached to him, grab the said culprit and then theyd drag him back in, holding the ner-do-well...Tom, was that man...he had a lot of scars...

    Sorry...back on track....
     
  10. Have you failed to notice the many millions of immigrants to USA from Mexico, the Caribbean, and Latin America generally? And how notoriously violent many of them are? Immigration is a hot topic politically in America, but over there it is Latinos, not Africans or Arabs, which are significant.
     
  11. come up trumps for trump?
     
  12. And why would that be?
     
  13. Can you give an example which involves war?

  14. Makes you think of the chainsaw scene in Scarface.
     
  15. Frankly, there is so much mass murder and bad shit in the US that I'm not sure that ISIS will change anything much. You don't need Muslim nutters when, as you have pointed out, there are already loads of nutters armed to the teeth and shooting on a daily basis.

  16. I'm afraid that as far as Middle-Class America shootings are concerned, it appears that Daesh is simply going to have to take a number and wait its turn.
     
  17. I used to be in a snatch squad too. Different kind of snatch though. Out my face at 02.10 in night clubs looking for equally out of face scrubbers.
