Two attacks within weeks. Another and the Government will be under real pressure. But is there much that can be done about it, especially if attacks are by previously ‘unknown’ suspects?
Can you explain to me why the taxi driver is a hero, other than that he survived? Genuinely mystified.
I think we need more terrorists to keep us on our toes and make sure we remember to value our lives more. I find the new ones more exciting than the old flavour Irish ones as they dont phone ahead warnings and are more random in their targets, add in the fact that they sometimes blow themselves up and you have a comedy element also. If I was a terrorist I would most definitely target dams as the destruction would be massive, hit three or four of the big ones at the same time and a lot of the country would be crippled. Add in the fact they have zero security and it is a no brainer really. Where or what would you target if you were a terrorist?
I think we are yet to know all the details, but presumably for not letting the guy get nearer to people he could harm. All this with his ear hanging off. He even let the bomber off his fare.
Nah, that was a lone nutcase murdering one man. Was it called terrorism when the Cox lady was murdered?
Asking for a friend. - These bombs that you're going to blow the dams up with...how would you go about designing, constructing, delivering and activating them? Do bear in mind that the one outside the hospital wasn't even capable of blowing all the bloody doors off a car. As to my preferred targets, I'd strap explosives to dogs - not with the intention of killing or blowing up people or buildings, but just in the hope of killing a lot of dogs. Dogs are ****.
I dont wish to reveal all my methods, I am sure you understand, but the Liverpool taxi guy was a total amateur. This may help you? https://www.google.com/search?q=how...&ved=0ahUKEwjF7pGo05_0AhWHUcAKHfE_D5oQ4dUDCAg I was planning on using horses as horses are just big dogs that are stupid enough to let people ride them.
Joke's on you, then. Left to their own devices, all a horse will do is put his head down and eat. He won't be walking anywhere with your IED.
I think we have more of a chance in curing Cancer forever than stopping Terrorism. It's gone on for decades, and will continue to happen all over the world. Be the root of it personal hatred, revenge or religion, it's like a weed that refuses to die. I still remember Lockerby(sp?) That was awful. It's very scary that we will end up wiping ourselves out as a race before a global disaster does that for us, like a new Ice age or when the Sun finally dies.
Terrorism has been present in society for hundreds of years. Guy Fawkes was a religious zealot, determined to impose his views through an attack on the state. The key is to ensure in responding to acts of terrorism, society neither, (through suppression), reinforces the motivations of terrorists nor change the relationship between citizens and the state.
Aren’t the rumours that he locked the doors of his cab, trapping a man with a suicide vest inside, so he wouldn’t attack a women’s hospital?
Yes. Thomas Mair was considered a far right wing terrorist by the police and the courts. It is difficult to consider him anything else, even if he was acting as a lone nutter. Personally, I think most, if not all, terrorists could be considered insane by society. Acting collectively or individually is moot to those they affect.
It would take a huge bomb to blow a dam, the IRA would not have been able to build such a bomb and they had smuggled tonnes of semtex into Ireland a country with a much weaker security force than Britain. They also had a fairly large group to hide, make, and deliver bombs. It would take an airforce to blow a dam, the best a small group of people ( a singular cell ) could hope for would be to stop the water flowing to some taps for a while. As for terrorism itself isn't Britain one of the best anti terrorist forces in the world. Through the long campaign in Northern Ireland they developed and perfected so many systems. Wasnt their security knowledge and capabilities one of the big losses to Europe through the Brexit debacle. I'm not sure countries want to wipe it completely as it is a huge industry, Every street has a camera now, who sells these systems.
These terrorists are rubbish Isn't affecting the food chain\water supply more effective than trying to blow up a maternity ward ? Guido Fawkes ? Over rated IMO . He was the lookout , a bit part, the Ronnie Biggs of the operation.
Yes their attacks tend to be small in the scheme of things (911 excepted). But that's not the point. The huge cost to the nation and fear generated is all they require. The actual result is almost immaterial. A favourite tactic of the paramilitaries in NI was to just drive a car/van/bus into a street and abandon it in the middle of the road. It always needed to be treated as a potential bomb with the resultant chaos of road closures and the attendance of the bomb squad. Most of the time it was nothing but the impact it had was all the terrorists wanted.
Now, that would cause genuine outrage. We can accept blowing up kids at a pop concert, but exploding dogs is another level altogether
Yes but not for very long though. Yep. First use in battle they ran back towards the familiar sight (more likely smell or sound) of the Soviet tanks...
