#1 Tom Clancy wrote this scenario years ago...before he died. Came through Mexico if I remember correctly.

That is a tactic that just might wake up the population and get us to demand EFFECTIVE action.

#4 That is a tactic that just might wake up the population and get us to demand EFFECTIVE action.

The Obama administration would probably do everything in its power to call it "workplace violence."

Maybe in the blue states. In many red states, grocery store guards are armed. Kenya's problem is that its security forces (cops and soldiers) were ill-trained, unwilling to do their jobs and more interesting in looting than in hunting down the attackers.

#8 All the bad guys need to do is buy up a container load of Nike Air Jordans (or whatever the most current fashion athletic shoes is) get them into a mall, and then announce a Barack Obama sponsored "day of revenge against white shoppers", with Air Jordans for the most "wins" in the mall knock-out game - oh, and arrange for free buses to the mall for feral black ghetto rats.

Then, they just sit back and watch America's "professional voters" tear the mall apart.

#9 * OTOH WORLDNEWS > US DHS CHIEF SAYS RIGHT-WING VIOLENCE IS BIGGER THREAT TO US THAN ISIS.

IMO Artic read, THREAT TO AMERIKA'S SACRED SECULAR NATIONAL COMMUNISM-SOCIALISM.

Becuz clearly only Lunatic Fanatic Terrorist Nationalists would have the audacity to ask the Voters = aka "the People" to vote on iff they want OWG + NAU + Socialism!
