An email….from Germany….shuts down all Los Angeles schools.
Considering events in Paris and San Bernadino and the various other bomb threats around the country, one would think it prudent to shut down all the LA schools. I would agree. What we shouldn’t agree too and should demand from our elected officials is this won’t tolerated as the new normal. Americans can’t live in fear everyday that somewhere in the United States some crazy rag head is calling in a threat or is actually going to kill someone.
So how do you stop it? I guess it would begin with profiling Muslims, all of them. These acts aren’t being perpetrated by Branch Davidians or the Amish, this is being done by one specific group of people, Muslims. There may be good ones and there seems to be a shitload of bad ones, but trying to figure out who is who is the proverbial needle in the haystack. So lets shred the hay and eliminate the needle.
If we are truly at war with Islamic extremist then all the rules of war should be used to win. Germans and Japanese were placed in internment camps during World War II, which was harsh, but America did what it needed to do to ensure it’s safety. I think America has evolved enough that camps would not be necessary, but removing threats from our homeland should not be off the table. Which means every Muslim that is not an American citizen should be sent back to their home countries until such time as the United States sees fit to allow the programs to continue.
Refugees, students, doctors, professors, scientists, and tech workers would be sent back from whence they came, all visas hereby terminated no more available. It may seem rude but it would eliminate the threat from that block of people. This is no time to fuck around here, daily threats or actual terrorism cannot be held as normal in this country, and until someone is willing to be tough on terrorism then it will continue and we will hear daily reports of bombs or killings. That’s not the America I grew up in and it’s damn sure not the one I want my grandkids living in.
The American Muslim population would then be scrutinized. Mosques and social media would analyzed, finances reported, mandatory allegiance to the United States forms signed, and other breaches of privacy. The programs would have a sunset date on them so any President can discontinue them when the threat has been extinguished. This might just get the “moderate” Muslims alerting authorities to potential threats in their ranks. Yep, it’s unconstitutional, but so is taking another persons life because they don’t believe as your people do.
If this does not stop the terror, start building new camps. If we can’t trust them, we would have to contain them. But at least Americans could feel relatively safe in the knowledge that we did not accept terror as the new normal in this country.
And if you think this is hate speech, you’re a part of the problem.
