Unfortunately, there is little can be done to thwart such incidents, because there are just so many crazies out there who are willing to perpetrate such acts. I suppose it would be possible to equip bike/pedestrian paths with concrete/steel posts designed to prevent vehicular crashes, but there are a LOT of sidewalks.

I notice that they’re steadily becoming more common here, and I wonder why.
It can’t be because they improve guys’ looks (well, not most of them) or that they’re comfortable to maintain and wear. The logical progression from the high-maintenance week’s growth look: “Man, I’m tired of this; I’ll just let it grow”?

No mention yet on CNN that his journey here occurred during the Obama administration but I'm betting before the evening is out, they'll tell us how many shares of Home Depot are owned by Trump.

And extract the process he went through to end up as an Allah attack asshole - bet we will find he didn’t come up with all by his little lonesome “Lone wolf” self.

Sick of the crawl that already claims Lone Wolf. Equally sick of the candles, colored buildings, and facebook claims about how “we’re NYC strong” and “this won’t change us” - how about some righteous anger and us declaring we’re going to change somebody else’s comfy little maddrassas - as in, shut them down. Interrogate their propagandists, track down their facebook sources, make it uncomfortable for anyone to foment jihad in our country

He must have remembered that Obama was out of office and it's okay have terrorist attacks in this country again. Trump's fault.

Address Islam, and you stop 99.9% of these attacks.

Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

I am rapidly coming to the conclusion that we cannot win this war because no one wants to fire the first figurative shot

lone wolf is a nifty sound byte but I don't think there is any such thing

News said warnings have been sent out to car rental agencies to be on the lookout ahead of this event. But I doubt anyone would have thought of Home Depot. Still, I'm sure this miss would be heavy on the minds of the ones who were managing the pre-emptive warnings.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual."

The 29-year-old man detained after a flatbed truck drove down a popular lower Manhattan bike path, killing at least 8 people and injuring more than a dozen more, left a note in the truck claiming he committed the attack for ISIS, according to law enforcement sources.

apparently deliberately rammed into a school bus for children with disabilities.

Sources said Saipov lives in Paterson, New Jersey, but he had a Florida license with a Tampa address on him when he was arrested. Police and federal agents were seen swarming the neighborhood street where he was thought to live on Tuesday evening.

Residents in the area said that Saipov had a wife and two young children.

Just how do you propose to accomplish that? There are 1 Billion Muslims in the World and a significant number of them right here in the USA. It might be possible to prevent any more from coming here (lots of obstacles to that) but I don't think there is any way that one could get rid of all the ones already living here. (If even that were desirable--it would disrupt some mixed families.) And what about those persons who convert to Islam while having been born and living here for many years?
