12 guys 6 mos to kill 13 - morons. They'd have been as effective wielding sharpened pencils with no planning. 120 gas containers - what, they were going to assault people's lawns, mow them badly? Or blowing themselves up was intended, go straight for those 13-year-old virgins? Dumb and dumber fortunately have taken over @ ISIS.

Yeah, for me I'd favor sitting them in Las Ramblas for 5-10 years in a cage next to where the prostitutes hang, wearing pink furry teddies and passerby's allowed to throw cream puffs at them. Total ridicule, total La Cage aux Folles. Maybe "Is-lam? Is-dumb" dunce caps.

thanks for sharing those

Another thought on the word

In reply to Strikes me that "pathetic"

Another thought on the word "evil". It is an ultimate term by which I mean there is not a word which conveys its meaning in a stronger way. Consider how few words can convey the opposite meaning. Here is the list from the first thesaurus that popped up on google. None seem even near satisfactory to me as opposites whereas going into the spiritual area the word "angelic", though not listed, does. I have done my own rant on "evil" in the recent past.

Strikes me that "pathetic" hits the spot so much better than "evil." In essence ridiculing their narrative rather than buying into it. I know this is what works to decimate Al Qaeda et.al. theory. You take them seriously, you help them. Not so sure about other forms of "terrorism" and other bad hombres, but I am sure about this with them. I am very susceptible to the argument, though, that it also applies to a lot of mass shootings, as there the "fame for the ages" thing often applies. If the main fame is ridicule, wouldn't appeal so much. Except in the cases of irrational impulsive anger, but for the guys plotting for days, weeks, months, the strong possibility of a legacy of ridicule would work.

Andalucia? ISIS idiots shot dead while others blow themselves up, while they don't even know they're not in Andalucia. Pathetic motherfuckers.

This tweet gives me sad

This video tweet gives me sad memories from 9/11, with an attack this bad, the days directly after are the worst, because they are not sure what will happen next, security won't let you return to normal life (as would be the appropriate response to an attempt to terrorize) until they figure out what happened, there is this enormously frightening and sad emptiness:

At least 13 dead, 100 injured, including foreign tourists, accdg. to CNN 5 mins. ago. The driver is still at large according to PP's Guardian live link. 27 min ago Spanish prime minister Mariano Rajoy said the van attack was “jihadist terrorism” which required a global response. “Today the fight against terrorism is the principal priority for free and open societies like ours. It is a global threat and the response has to be global,” Rajoy said during a news conference

Hillary and Obama tweeted:

Barcelona, you have our resolve and support in the face of this cowardly attack. We stand together against terrorism wherever it strikes.
