Russia has pulled out the big guns and will "waste them in the outhouse".

Obama has shown he's nothing but a JV player in world politics.
He`s a JV player that doesn`t allow terrorists to fly planes into our skyscrapers. See the difference?

How the heck do you know an ISIS member will hesitate if they think the target is strapped?

To die for the cause in an honor and a one way ticket to paradise.

Obviously you've never crossed them.
The mafia did not and does not exist to "scare people".
Not their M.O.
I can assure you they still operate in a serious fashion.

Criminals aren't nearly as brave as you think they are. Random armed homeowners are one of their biggest fears and you think they won't be afraid of ISIS terrorists? Random street thugs are cowardly bullies, not Special Forces.

With Anonymous tracking down ISIS members and recruiters online maybe they can feed the information to the mafia to take care of the problem.

Unfortunately, this is true.

Giovanni Gambino Warns ISIS: The Big Apple is Off Limits, Thanks to Sicilian Mafia | Reuters
I read the article. Silly strutting. But, he got his fifteen minutes in the limelight. I guess that his crew will be upping the 'protection' money from the small businesses in their area, claiming "We are keeping you safe from ISIS".

It actually sounds like a fit subject for The Onion, the satirical newspaper:

"Scoutmaster Warns Off ISIS".

Bob Evans, scoutmaster of troop 629 of East Texas, issued a statement yesterday in which he warned the terrorist organization, ISIS, to 'not fool around with my troop, or they will regret it'.

Mr Evans pointed out that the boys in his troop have over 600 merit badges among them, and they are ready to handle any situation ISIS may throw at them.

"If ISIS tries to hide in the piney woods, they will be in for a big surprise. Tommy is the best tracker in the state, Hambone can tie a knot no one can shake, and Roddy can hit the left eye of a frog with his bow and arrow. My scouts will make Rambo seem like a walk in the park".

Mr. Evans did admit that Donald would likely be killed, saying "Donny is too fat to be much good. Boy, can he eat! However, he would make a good decoy to bring out ISIS. We would simply tie Donny to a tree in the woods, and wait for those murderous Muslims to come sniffing around. Then, watch out!"
