question:
Comment: Some pedestrians deserve to be run over and crushed!. You know who you are.....and please don't accuse me of making irresponsible comments. My comment is directed at those of you who take about two weeks to cross the street - while texting or talking on the phone or daydreaming. You keep the cars waiting and u back up traffic while you take your time to stroll across the road.

I have no sympathy or empathy.
answer:
Threat

question:
Comment: So muslims repeatedly threaten to wipe Israel off the face of the earth, kill the USA- "the Great Satan", continue to violently attack anyone they find vulnerable, behead people & burn them alive ..... yet the cerebrally challenged politically correct (whatever that really means morphs daily to suit the current situation) voices seem to think acting positively to protect your own is not acceptable. They fear that direct, effective counter measures may "offend" someone. That is ridiculous & self defeating.
Just as the USA reacted to the Jap attack on Pearl Harbor, we need to act effectively to eliminate all terrorism.
Attempts to cloak islamic terrorism as acceptable because it is based on a "religion" is obviously a red herring. Islam is far from a religion as most of us conceive religion to be. Islam is a theocracy aimed at political, economic, & thought control by those who direct it.
