Some food for thought on Terrorist Attacks, by Greg Ellifritz

[JTH]

Food for thought, from Greg Ellifritz:

"Last Thursday, ISIS terrorists conducted a series of coordinated attacks in Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia.  As has been the trend worldwide, these coordinated or “symphonic” attacks involved guns, bombs, and grenades.  Up to 14 terrorists conducted the attacks on seven locations in a period of three hours. 
 
Why should we care about what happens in a third world country thousands of miles from home?  Because that’s where these terrorists refine their tactics.  What we are seeing over there is likely to be what we will see in the United States soon."

"Look, I get it.  We all want to do the right thing, save the girl, and win the medal.  I want to do that, too.  But I also want to make it home to the people I love.  That isn’t very likely if I jump into a fight like this with the my five-shot .38 snub."

Something to think about.

These guys are fanatics, not stupid.  You can bet they've factored in armed civilian resistance here.   Of course, GFZ's will be the primary targets.  They're fanatics, not stupid.

Ellifritz has another one today about the Planned Parenthood shooting in Colorado. It's an example of an attack where a single armed private citizen can be effective. I think the San Bernardino attack is another example because there were only two shooters.
