"While a bunch of citizens with ONLY a Glock (or S&W, Taurus, Colt, etc) will not be able to do much damage to a military force, those with higher caliber military style weapons can."

There are more than a dozen Apache helicopters 5 minutes flight time from my house. 1.5 hrs south east of there are 25,000 troops and mobile armor. Down the road from them are a bunch of Marines. There are two fighter wings 12-14 minutes flight time from here. And a CIA demolitions training center 2 hrs away by car. The state capital has 5 or 6 overlapping police forces, plus the FBI, CIA, Army intelligence in place 10 miles from here. And ANG wing (Apaches) is next to the airport which has standing orders to accomodate anytime any conditions, F-18 Superhornets, C-17 transports and C-130U Spooky gunships all of which are less than a hour away. Plus a combined ANG/USAF base down the road. Between ANG and Army, Navy, Marines they can probably put several hundred tanks, APCs and mobile artillery in the field in under 30 hrs.

These people don't recognize or respect fairness. This is about payback. And let me tell you, a fair fight is one I survive and you do not. The only thing Gonzales can do now is seppuku on national television.

We do in fact live where violence is cheered, tolerated supported and where people are numb to it, even from a distance like in the US where it rarely if ever touches them directly. People in fact do get their cues for the threshold of signal over noise from the world around them. You really do have to go apeshit over the top to get someone's attention now. Clearly if this guy had so many problems and was such an obvious screw loose, the college didn't do much because it's not tht hard to find 3 dozen other people just like him. And the college isn't under any circumstances going to allude to that publically right now. They are never going to say that 'Oh you know there's 25 other creepy people like him on campus right now.'

So yeah who knows, and also who cares, why lunatics are lunatics. Maybe what they think is their dog telling them shoot people is fact not their dog. Or the TV or al Jazeera or the culture of shahids. I don't know, you don't know. It's certainly an interesting approach though to assert that violence indeed begets violence on some level. To say it doesn't is not entirely rational.

You'll bark and shout at me about your NMS? (non menstrual syndrome?)

Sy Blumenthal is on day 1300 of absolutely claiming to have irrefutable proof we are invading Iran tomorrow.

Food, movie, TV and shopping critic.

We're on day 1300 of you can take this to you mom, sell the house, I one billion percent guarantee it we are absolutely positively going to bomb Iran tomorrow at 7:30am.

If they wanted to Waco your ass they'd do it no problem. And again as we see in Iraq, IEDs are a lot more effective than guns. I highly recommend all the superpatriots start stocking homemade explosives in the house. C'mon cowards, blow some shit up.

I mean we're not but I have 100% proof that we will. Tomorrow. 8 am sharp.

The only thing worthwhile to watch are

The Wire

BSG

So why do you still have a column?

Sarkozy 29.6%, Royal 25.1%

Maybe Franck-Dumas will have to leave the country.

Let's take a look at all the countries where bands of self governing rebels, lightly armed with small weapons are fighting the good fight

Sri Lanka

Cote d'Ivoire

Uganda

Congo (Kinshaha)

Western Sahara

Central African Republic

Sudan

Somalia

Afghanistan

Iraq

Chechnya

Thailand

Philippines

Indonesia

Columbia

These guys are your heroes? These guys are the defense of your argument to keep stockpiles of guns in your house?

Wow what a bunch of fucking retards you all are. You have never gone a day without TV and 3 hot meals let alone get shot, starved, burned out, raped and terrorized. Tell me about your fucking high ideals then.

You what I'm talking bout, vulcan. Let's do it. You get the bulldozers I'll get the bullets. We'll mass grave our way to righteous freedom.

I've read more than 10 columns by Sy Hersh right here at Salon over the years that prognosticated the invasion of Iran which would occur any day now. Been hearing it for more than 4 years. If that isn't warmongering I don't know what is.

C'mon dudes and dudettes, where's the damn invasion. You keep promising it, guaranteeing it. You even claim to have proof and fully thought out strategty that involves the well known super secret world wide Jewish conspiracy lobby.

So where is it?

C'mon don't be shy. Tell us again.

Needs to take the word 'reporting' out of their banner. Not that being an op-ed column is a bad thing but in the past oh, 6-8 weeks or so they have essentially dropped any notion of 'reporting' as it is commonly understood. It's all commentary.

Cast ye the first stone, suckaz. Would you have preferred an ad that portrayed a stuck #1 train in Brooklyn, no AC, middle of August and some crackhead scratching his stank ass fleas? Or does objecting to that strip you of your trust fund Marxist street cred?

If anyone confronts me with a gun. I will track them down and blow their house up with everyone in it. Or if that's not feasible we'll take care of it the way we used to back home. Grab them off the street, beat them down, put a gasoline soaked tire around their neck and set it alight.

Guns. You lightweights.
