Post by TheGamer »

Anyone seen this website? It updates quite frequently to show any incidents throughout the world that may be terror related. You can click on the icon to get the full story. I thought it was interesting.

some of those items are kinda ridiculous. I clicked on one & it said:

"[CNN] USA - Officials: Wire could have decapitated Border Patrol agents

"U.S. border officers found a wire between two fences along the U.S.-Mexican border that, when stretched taut, could have seriously harmed or even decapitated Border Patrol agents, Congress was told Wednesday""

No kidding. I saw the news piece on that and it's no joke

The border patrol agents use 4 wheelers to patrol the area where the wires were placed.

It's ridiculous because the whole idea of being alert to terror is a con engineered by Bush, big business, Halibuton and the Illuminati. 9/11 only happened because we weren't considerate enough of other peoples' feelings, and nothing like that will ever happen again if we just stop meddling in other nations' affairs.

I don't know. Cuz it's not really what I'd put in the cat of Terror Alert? Do you feel safer now that the a wire between two fences is taken down?

Provo himself probably doesn't feel safer, but I'm sure the boarder patrol dudes that roll atvs do.

Well, it certainly falls under the category "suspicious event."

So do you feel safer if I don't drive drunk?

How ridiculous would it be if one of your family members got taken out by a wire placed across the trail?

I know its hard to believe that there are people out there that want to do us harm...its a scary thought and makes the sheep nervous. I've had contact with a few NG troops when I was down in NM and the border situation is no joke and is far from ridiculous.

I've heard that. The bad guys have bigger and better weapons and the budget to pay for more. Shitty situation without a doubt.

not in LA.

I'm glad you feel that public safety resources should only be devoted into making you and only you feel safe.

Unfortunately many like to put their own pathetic short sited political agendas first...
