He was in a car that
was on a ferry that *bobbed* atop waters able to ultimately effect the effluent *of* the sound *and* the strait well no you're right after all, there goes that argument and Kennedy's too cause a rising tide apparently doesn't by some DUer's reckoning raise all boats but only boats in straits and not sounds :eyes: And if that is to be the tack, my growing sense is that whomever set Rassam up with his maps, plans, explosives, snack-able roadway snacks and money further up north were some real swell folks too and deserve our every kindness, right?
I've worked security for Bill Graham and others in the media/event industry. I've run crews and carried concealed pushing carts with 100's of thousands of dollars between 600lbs of rock-solid Gold's Gym muscle, but when my guys fanned out took up their positions and conducted themselves most professionally I felt safer, Bill felt safer, and the environment was safer for all. Anyone that was worked security has a different way of analyzing patterns. To refuse to see the accessibility to the sound/the strait, whatever, from whatever air or road map or postcard you're referring to, is to perhaps admit that "locally-ish" may not be close enough to the threat no wait - that is what you're saying - there is no threat. Anywhere. No threat important, or threatening enough to rise to...a generalized disregard for priorities
Quite a few DUer's, perhaps a result of their buoyant pacifism in the face of threat, perhaps a result of your's; seem less able to process threat in real-time. I won't refer to it as ignorance. But it is a form of separation. That vigilance is able to close
I do think people go to great extremes in their efforts to represent themselves as good old fashioned peace & beatniks. And they're willing to try to walk every slack-rope in the circus to just to put that forth
In the sound. On the sound. Near the sound. Ferry. Port Angeles. Port Townsend. Barge...what the fuck ever in deed ~
I think the "beautiful minds" of DU are making excuses for Rassam in the course of trying to make as little a point as possible here at DU though are unable to step back and see it. And I do think that contributes to why the LW has a marginalized place at the table regarding matters of defense. What? Set them all free simply because you're less able to absorb info from the very locale in which you live? I think other people are able to asses potential threat in a more balanced way, in the area where you live, even where you are not. And I think that will be to your ultimate benefit
Actually, and it's not your fault though I'm sorry you stepped into it - ew, yucky :( - but the OP is the sort posted here that always - always - gets a rise out of DU's fringe lefty-left because it involves COPs being mean to well-meaning Americans with toy guns and who can be mean about toy guns but the evil usurpers of the inalienable rights of a 'we the people' unable to understand how *we've* impacted those rights ourselves - and that would be COPs, right? Mothering Fucking COPs! We know they're already crazy fucked up murderers (that
deserve to be shot) that have no reason to do what they do. And if they weren't crazy to begin with then they are now after having to deal with some of the most heinous, foolishly deadly behavior society has to offer, wow, never thought of it that way, hm - well, so I guess
everyone is murderously vile, stupid, irresponsible or an alloy of disruptive hair-triggered negativities, fine, I accept that...
Toss into that mix, however, people with 'toy guns', or replicas of real ones and offer end-user excuses for that behavior too: is to invite authorities down onto your idyllic little postcard setting in which you've made not points imo; but excuses for irresponsible behavior with toy guns, terrorists with odd intent, the illegal import/export of guns weapons explosives the whole nine, excuses & glimpses into why it is so hard for some to pull back and see a larger picture but you; are; the one; that brought Rassam (of all people, if you're willing to go there you may as well have "talked about werewolves and vampires" in for a penny on for a pound) into a thread about what was it again, oh yes:
"Fake rifle brings all-out police response" and in that process lifted the lid off the subject, in the course, of your, identifying yourself, as "locally-ish" Greeter of an area better-just-thought as one of vital international danger & intrique cause there's no defensive footing for it anyhow and so
*I* say that was why the passage was scheduled ;) Cause they knew what others refuse to know about their own landscapes: knowledge with respect to the defense thereof, so...I suppose your WTF moment for me, right: no, sorry, wrong...
My fiance was shot and later died from a simple traffic stop his murderers never found. Cops and security people have a different view of situations
