Thank you wildrosegirl for being completely competent with this issue.
People here are losing their freaking minds. By people I mean people I care about. All worked up into anxiety attacks over the fear. It's making me nauseous arguing with them, telling them to step back and maybe breathe for a moment. Ripping my head off because I think this is a *little* bit oversold.
One of my friends is a military wife... Says she's seen documents that say the Ottawa incident is part of a bigger deal. Told her I would need to be given those documents by a verifiable source in order to believe them, and find it a bit rough to expect Canadians to be in a scared stupor over this. This was all after I argued with another guy about whether Sandy Hook was faked or not. Freaking people. Sensationalistic dooms day nonsense. The more information we read, the more obvious the guy was probably only successful because he was a random crackhead.
I have the unusual position of being the only anti-conspiracist amungst a bunch of political people I speak with in person. I hang out with the apathetics and chat about music and pokemon just to give myself a break from telling people to stop freaking out.
Like I said when I first heard about it.... I'm more worried about a random crackhead in my community with a rifle than I am some guy with a gripe about Western civilization. Lo and behold, he's a crackhead. But he was in Ottawa. He killed innocent people and is dead now. Thanks for doing the honours, crackhead, though the proceedings if actually aprehended would probably be incredibly hilarious portrayed by the media, if any of the details we're hearing now came out.
Anyhow, the military wife claims he's not a recent convert and that the news is full of shit. I agree the news is shit, I guess, but in a different way. Claims there's threats here in town. I doubt it, frankly. I'm pretty sure any actions right now by the militarty are cautionary and/or intent on appearing secure and prepared. But there is a steadily decreasing cause for concern over this nonsense. Crazy people are crazy. Our society lets these people obtain weapons. We like to care about reasons I guess, and admitedly, not many crackheads are brave enough to attack the symbolic leaders... Well, there's was that guy in Trudeau's, and the guy with a plastic knife from KFC in Cretien's... Lots, actually. No assasinations, which seems fluky. Boy, that'd be surreal. A crackhead murdering the Prime Minister? I can only imagine the discussions that would follow that, and the media circus.
Security will always have holes. Part of a crackhead's luster is the ability to catch people off-guard.
Wonder if this'll be the top headline for the next week?
So much growing up to do.....
This has 0.1% to do with being a crackhead and 99.99% to do with radical religious views.
Keep thinking what you do if it makes you feel better at night.
