It is easy to be critical of Obama these days....he is locked into some Political Points and is missing how badly Americans are frightened and concerned about terrorism these days. Labeling shootings by terrorists of cops as "gun control " problem is just nutty.... Other rampages by terrorists as well. ( Any terrorist who is determined to get weapons is going to get them! You can make it harder for them but you cannot really stop them or from making bombs either, for that matter.
It is so easy to make a bomb it is ridiculous. I made pipe bombs at one point when I was a teenager and set them off with my friend Paul M. in big ice pockets along the frozen shores of Lake Michigan in the Winter. We only did it a couple of times and were satisifed with that ( also at the time I noticed one boy in one of my classes only had three fingers on one hand. He was just an average kid who had been playing around with explosives and miscalculated badly. It is like kids playing with matches but worse..)
( And think of all the things teen agers used to do with cherry bombs-- not me-- but the stories I heard, and everyone had heard about lighting a cherry bomb and then flushing it down a toilet in some public restroom type place, or in one instance, a bunch of kids on Spring Break wrecking a motel room in Florida with all sorts of crazy stuff like that).
At any rate, people who live in DULUTH are all upset and worried about terrorists and now are saying, ( reversing what they said before), hey, maybe it isn't so bad if the police are given militray weapons and terrorism training.
I think a lot of people are freaking out too much, but they ARE scared, and Obama is sort of a dullard when it come to this fear, and that is a real problem.
End of sermon.
