SUICIDE BOMBER.......

There is no doubt in my mind that the young man who blew himself up outside
the stadium in Oklahoma was indeed a suicide bomber.

I don't think that anyone with any sort of credentials would disagree, except to
refrain from giving the incident publicity.

It would be better to let the public be aware of these threats, to protect themselves
and help efforts to mitigate these types of attacks.

Failure to do so, will lead to excessive attention when there is a successful attack.
Have no doubt, there will be successful suicide attacks.

The media will freak and of course try to place blame on anyone except the
perpetrator.

The public will freak and become shut-ins, or jump on media bandwagons to ban guns
(what, no correlation-what difference has that ever made) instead of handing them out.

We as a nation have to understand that there is a price to our freedom, and it may well be measured in lives.

If you expect 100 % safety, you are dreaming. If you would even want what it would take
be even close to 100% safe from these attacks, move to China or North Korea. That way
you only have to fear the government.

Power Line has a relevant post that is worth reading at http://www.powerlineblog.com/.
I could elaborate, but feel responsible restraint is probably better.

The more I learn, the less I believe in coincidences.
This guy wanted some company on his way to collect his reward.

Don't be paranoid, but at least that will tend to keep you alive. It is better
to be aware of your surroundings-situational awareness.

Condition Yellow.

It is your job to keep you and your family safe. If you expect the government to
do it, remember that in most cases it takes a phone call after the fact to get a response.

Trust that little voice inside of you.
If you hear more than one voice, call a shrink(couldn't resist).

Whether the OSB was acting alone or not, will probably never be shared with the public. If he was part of a cell, the rest is yet to come.

Remember, Condition Yellow.
