I have to give credit where its due, all the brainwashing and conditioning has been a HUGE success! more and more citizens calling for a MUCH MORE intrusive Govt/ police/ military presence in society...to keep us safer of course. LOL
While at the same time calling for media blackouts on reporting!

We'll waste fortunes worry about every mosque and foreigner, but apparently have no problems with countless irresponsible or dangerous yahoos with arsenals running around this nation. Nope. Almost every week there's another mass shooting, but we all supposed to ignore it and pretend "nothing can be done" even though every other developed nation on the planet has found solutions to this problem, and many of them still have plenty of guns.

It's a national disgrace.
Thanks, that highlights both facts - not only all the disgraceful murders here, but the comparatively tiny likelihood of terrorism.

In liberal dominated areas. It's long been known that many liberal urban areas are more dangerous than Afghanistan. Fortunately most of the US has a murder rate of 0, most of the rest has a murder rate less than 1, that would be the terrible "fly over" areas liberals love to mock. Almost 70% of US murders happen in 2% of the counties.

Funny how the violent crime rate map lines up so closely with a map of Hillary voters.
