I doubt anyone here believes their own government isn't capable of or participating in atrocities. History always repeats itself for those who ignore it. Or I guess I should say nobody here SHOULD believe it's not possible.
From over here in little old Ireland my observation of that particular incident is one of off duty officers being privately paid by ur incumbent pres's best buddies the Koch brothers , similar to the wall street sit in where the forces in white were off duty paid enforces , the white shirts symbolized that.
As for over here regarding threats , one is on ones own unfortunately , the crim has to be caught in the act to prove them a crim , they have more protection than the victim , the people have been slowly completely alienated from having any real voice.

In wake of the attack, Ohio legislators are considering a bill to allow people with concealed-carry licenses to bring guns on campuses. Vote coming as soon as Wed. Google it. Have a nice day. :)

This was already happening, has nothing to do with attack.

More examples of maintaining situational awareness at all times be a necessity. Mall brawls in many US malls day after Christmas and the Istanbul club attack New Years Eve.

Islamic State takes credit for New Year's attack at Istanbul nightclub
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/27/us/mall-fights-brawls.html

Stay aware and safe.

I kind of think if you're going to malls the day after Christmas or partying in Turkish night clubs, you might need to re-evaluate a lot of life choices, not just lack of situational awareness. :D

I was watching the news this morning and a very obvious American was being put into an ambulance after the shooting in Istanbul. He was complaining about how he was shot and how crazy "these people" are. Dude... You went to Turkey which has had countless terrorist attacks in the past year.

This kind of goes back to the book. You are making stupid decisions that will have huge effects on your life. If you think its a good idea to vacation in Turkey right now, you may be a Sidewalker.

You know how everyone has the cousin that gets caught with weed multiple times, then always blames some particular set of circumstances for each arrest, even though he had ample evidence that weed= handcuffs? I feel like this is what happens when you give that guy a passport.

Its obviously the cop's fault you got arrested. And it's obviously the terrorists fault you went to a country that's a hotbed of terrorism.

Kinda like the "tourists" who were killed in Afghanistan....

I took a defensive pistol class in Dec & this was a KEY point they harped on. Specifically, even when you're engaging a target, you have to find a moment to pause, retract the pistol & zoom out. Breaking your sight away from the gun & pulling it back to you helps you pull out of your tunnel vision in the scenario. It was a really good class & I hope to do more of those this year.

One thing they started adding onto shooting drills when I got into the Corps was "search and assess". Previous drills, you move/pivot, present, aim, shoot, rifle down. What this translated in combat as was guys dropping all awareness after engaging and being caught by surprise, even moments after a firefight.

Even now, when I go cut paper, I finish my mag, pull back a few inches and look around.

To anyone who doesn't conceal carry, it's actually really interesting. The first day you step outside with your pistol, your senses sharpened 10x. You're hyper aware of EVERYTHING. You suddenly notice every exit, every entry point to your location, every movement of people around you.

if you think you know enough about the world, i suggest you check this quote

you should consider the fact that, it has been said by the former head of the FBI,


not by a random stupid guy in the street

this sentence alone should make you think hard about your life


( at least if you have the right IQ instead of being a random stupid consumer somewhere in the system)


quote:


View attachment 13837



J Edgar Hoover (1895-172 ) , former head of the FBI

J. Edgar Hoover - Wikipedia


Not sure at all how that's relevant to a thread about situational awareness and self defense.

Also, Hoover wore women's dresses.

People in turkey do not celebrate Christmas in the way Christians do. They see it as part of the the end of the year celebrations.
A friend of mine is from turkey and for her it is/was a tradition to party on 25th in this particular club. This year she, fortunately, could not fly to turkey, she was upset and shocked because she could have been one of the victims.

9, 11, 15, 22 and so on

It's really a lowbrow thing to judge any individual placed in this situation, man. You didn't survive it, you weren't there. Maybe lay off the judgement a little? If anything, a balloon might have been a form of comfort in a chaotic situation. Maybe try some lifting up instead of tearing down.

you can predict the nexts events :

look for odd number and prime number


1, 3, 5, 7 and multiple of seven , 9, 11 and multiple of 11 like 22, 13,15, 23 , 27

you get the idea: you will NEVER see a major event on something like 4 or 12 or 24 . never. remember my words

so when the next major event happens, i demand that people here quote my reply so we can see who is right because i am writing this on may the 23 rd of 2017.

so i can't cheat : all is written here.

i promise you, there will be next events on date with numbers i just told you , this very year

because of rule number 1 of the 36 chinese strategies : hide in the open

wich means ,all is there before your eyes but you can't see because of ignorance

and you won't believe it if told the truth.

so please quote what i said on the next event.

This sort of stuff is up there with some of the most bizarre conspiracy theories. Is it not obvious why these events tend to happen on similar dates? The terrorists plan them on days that previous attacks have happened as a way of 'honoring' their so called 'heroes'. That is probably why the attack took place yesterday seeing as it was 4 years from the Lee Rigby (solider) murder. I'm still sick in my stomach all day looking at the images and stories coming up on the news and social media. I don't think any of this has anything to do with some chinese strategies..?

Edit: If anyone wants to take some real action to help those affected there is a crowdfunding campaign set up to support the families of those affected.
Help raise £300000 to support families of those killed and injured in the Manchester Arena attack

True, could be shock.
I was wrong and I rescind my statement.

Are you being serious? What a joke. Go to a Reddit group for conspiracy theories if you want to play with numbers and act like you "called it" when 50 people get killed.
