ON THE NATURE OF THE ENEMY

 I just read a post from the Instapundit realm relating all the profound reasons to arm yourself and yet they didn't really mention the greatest threat and the greatest danger. The deranged lunatics who make up the foot soldiers of the enemy invasion do not need to turn to guns and mass shootings in order to slaughter thousands of innocent people who are out enjoying the 4th of July, they merely have to get behind the wheel of a big SUV or a truck and drive endlessly through an unwary and completely unprotected crowd so this year, protect yourselves and your families.

If you line a parade route as I did for so many years, make sure the barricades preventing vehicle access are meaningful and placed with care and attention to detail by a man who KNOWS that they are the only thing that will stop a maniac from driving into a peaceful crowd looking the wrong way.*

Make sure that you have a safe haven selected for you and your family and that you can get to it safely when the entire crowd bursts into panic and flight. Be ready to deal with avoiding trampling and keeping safe from the panicked crowd.

Know that the enemy we have in the middle east is one that really and truly does like to strike back on days that are already memorialized in one way or another and they will take days like the 4th of July in a heartbeat over even attacking on 9/11 or Christmas or New Years and take note that none of them are holidays in their religion. 

Evil doesn't take holidays.


*One of the more amusing things I used to witness was semi-tractors pushing the giant yellow hollow barricades out of their way in order to get their trucks and loads safely into the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command on Pacific Highway. The truck would snuggle up to each one and then gently push it out of the way because the damned security idiots NEVER filled them with water as they are supposed to do if the barricade is to have any impact on preventing entry. Keep your eyes open and actually see what is really there and what is not.

For myself, I'll stick to Ol' Remus' advice and avoid crowds.

Evil seems to have lots more willpower than we do.
