Well, lets see why this isn't like Fort Hood. (1) This was a spree killer, not a mass murderer. (2) The targets appear to have been completely random, rather than chosen specifically for who they were or what they did. (3) There doesn't appear to be any ideological motivation for the murders. (4) The killer had not, as far as we know right now, been in contact with terrorist networks or recruiters. (5) There does not appear to be any "revenge" or other attempt to alter American policy. So congratulations on comparing a murderer who was in the military to an ideologically driven, terrorist-connected murderer who intentionally targeted soldiers while screaming Allahu Akbar (after making comments about how Muslims in Iraq should rise up and throw out their oppressors: the US). witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

I won't rule it out, but were further from it than I thought. A few revolutionary breakthroughs and we're there. That's not so far, right?

Not funny to me. Would you be ok if the IRS had targeted politically left organizations and refused to decide tax status, effectively denying them benefits? It's odd that you're ok with it when even POTUS and left wing groups are coming out against it. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

It's naïve to believe that one needs to make payroll in order to understand how taxes affect hiring decisions. It is equally naïve to believe having to make payroll means one can make competent hiring decisions. Considering labor is generally a tax deductible business expense, so tax rates have little, if any, effect on the pool of money available to pay labor costs. In general, if it is profitable to hire someone at 1% tax rate, it is also profitable to hire that person at a 99% tax rate. Suppose we have a rational business owner. She prefers more profit to less profit. Now consider two effective tax rates, r1 and r2, such that 0 < r1 < r2 < 1. Let's say that, before taxes, if you don't hire a new employee, you can expect your pre-tax profit to be P1, and if you do hire a new employee, you can expect your pre-tax profit to be P2. If P2 > P1, then management should hire a new employee. If P1 > P2, the new employee should not be hired. Note that if P2 > P1, then: r1*P2 > r1*P1, and r2*P2 > r2*P1. Hence, the tax rate should not affect the hiring decision. Congratulations. You've demonstrated ignorance of tax law and answered definitively that you've never owned or operated a business. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

I thought about it. I even talked to a professor and post doc at the local university. Neither was sure what you were talking about. One gave me a mind numbing "overview and summary" of laser issues today. Apparently the prof specialized in argon and argon mix lasers, and the post doc interned with an unnamed company with DARPA contracts, focusing on LaWS-like systems.

Claymores (or terrorist facsimile) are not that hard to come by for that sort of people, I'd imagine. Better than a grenade or C4. Not conducive to flyer survivability, though.

Like dismissively referring to people as "the open borders people"? Your personal hypocrisy aside, yeah, why discuss policy when you can just call names, and then accuse people of calling names. Congratulations. You're "that guy". While it doesn't absolve him of guilt, he is kind of right. Look at NCLR. They are by name and purpose inherently racist, and they call everyone who disagrees with them a racist. They play the race card like there are fifty two of them in the deck. ETA: I don't mean the national conference of law reviews. If you're not familiar, look into “Reconquista” and “Aztlán”. Also, as much as they claim to reject it, their workers (not just members, but employees and volunteers, have uttered the phrase “Por La Raza todo.

None of that has anything to do with gaining information on The French attack (the subject of this thread, in case you've forgotten since you started it) or giving credence to your theory that the attacks are connected. Why post it? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Well that's a lot more useful. I hope they're using more than skin color for "north African descent". At least there's something to go on. Honestly I expected attacks in France far more than the UK. Are we taking caftan? Dashiki? Djellaba? Galabiyah? Thobe? Dishdasha? Doesn't sound like it was a kikoi. And I doubt it as a tunic, as the general description if a tunic is short sleeves and ending at the knee, rather than te ankle like most African and Middle Eastern "robes". Did anyone see sources that mentioned any sort if headgear? That's usually my best differentiator. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

So what? http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-22664468 That's the source for your post. I don't care how accurate the source is, if your interpretation isn't worth shit, then it isn't worth shit. And in this case, jihadwatch's interpretation, which you seem to believe, isn't worth shit. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Unless they go in with a preordained decision of what the results should be. Then they make it fit. Or if they've been publishing on one topic so long that they ha base their entire reputation on a certain theory. Then they refuse and refute as long as they can. Or if their grants are from sources who believe a certain way, and if you give them answers they don't want you don't get more grants. Or .... witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

If you believe that source, it sounds like they wanted him to be a source inside a radical group, not go to work in Whitehall. So why would you put so much faith in a person who was arrested after the murder? It's funny how jihadwatch seems to hate Muslims right up until they say something jihadwatch wants to hear. THEN it must be the truth. eta: I called him perforated fool because (a) he was shot during arrest, (b) I think he's a fool, and (c) I still like hearing "perforate the fool!" witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

They're pulling over people for real violations of the law. Many of those people are Hispanic. They are not pulling people over for being Hispanic. People who want no control on the flow of people over the order claim there is racial profiling.
