Jihadi Attacks...Who is Next?

Yes Shalimar, that could have made a big difference historically. If world leaders were all female there'd be some screeching and name calling of course...but probably no wars.

Had a "couple of people" been armed and began shooting... what are the odds that they would shoot one another... Or shoot people running and screaming. It sounds really Hollywood'ish to think you could, in a split second, determine what was happening.. who the bad guys are.. and who to shoot.. Suppose a "good guy" was also shooting from the other side of the room... WHO would YOU shoot? would you make the correct decision? Doubtful. NOW add a few more "good guys" ALL shooting at any direction they hear shots coming from. I contend that just as many people would have died in that concert hall.. only some of them at the had of the "good guys". It's utter NONSENSE to believe it would have made a difference.

There's a reason this never happens at gun shows.
 

I think it means that any terrorist who wanted to attack a gun show would use a suicide vest or a remote controlled bomb.
Although if they were intent on martyrdom then a shootout with automatic weapons would still be an option.
The element of surprise would be on the terrorists side and they would surely get to take out a lot of people before being taken down.
 
Given Isis ability to recruit/infiltrate and their proficiency with bombs and weapons I can'help but feel that the next serious attack will be somewhere in the U.S. during the Holiday Season. Despite our securiy precautions we are WIDE OPEN. I certainly hope I am wrong.
 
They tried to attack Paris again yesterday but their efforts were thwarted. Hitting Paris twice in a matter within a couple of days was a surprise to me, but their target was to be the financial district, so perhaps they felt it would be worth the effort or thay had already planned it before last Friday's attack.

I could just see it... A suicide bomber stands in the middle of a gun show and blows himself up. he doesn't have to worry about being "taken down" because HE is blown to smithereens. . ALL the people NOT killed by the bomb would pick up a gun and start firing.. because they really didn't know what had just happened...due to the element of surprise.. So THEY would shoot and kill the remaining people not killed by the bomb... Yeah... brilliant.

You aren't wrong... but the "WIDE OPEN" remark makes no sense.... How can the police be EVERYWHERE? They can have an idea that something is about to happen and be vigilant.. but eventually something will happen..

New York city is ALWAYS next to be attacked..

Why should any US city, or anywhere else in the world, be attacked? We need to join with the other nations in getting rid of these folks creating the fleeing mobs that need help. If we don't those lines will just get longer and longer.
 
CBS news is saying that ISIS is developing chemical weapons using factories in some places they control. Someone said they are working on Sarin (sp.?) gas and that they have already used mustard gas a couple places in the middle east. This is a very scary prospect.

The very fact that the police can't be every where does make us wide open. It's not hard to get into this country as you know.
 
Armed jihadists have gone on a deadly shooting rampage inside the Radisson Blu hotel in the centre of Bamako, Mali.
Automatic weapons fire could be heard from outside the 190-room hotel, where two militants have taken 140 guests and 30 members of staff hostage.
Witnesses described hearing at least one explosion coming from the hotel, which is a popular choice for foreign dignitaries visiting Mali.

Another threat against France and the White House, but no threats have been personally issued to Russia, and they are fighting against Isis too.
 
Actually to date Russia has claimed to be fighting ISIS but has mainly confined air strikes to the rebels fighting against Assad. They did take down a Russian civilian plane which seems to have caused Putin to rethink his strategy.

Thanks for the info, Warrigal. As you mentioned Russia has definitely changed their strategy since the bombing of their plane and so far they have accomplished a significant amount of damage against isis, so was surprised Russia was not mentioned personally in today's Isis attack threat video.
