I agree. This was WAY overboard.
Crazy people have done crazy shit throughout history and always will. But these days it's a giant overboard reaction to everything.
To ME...and maybe only to me, it's starting to really feel like a police state. As I said in another thread: I see soccer moms get pulled over for doing 40 in a 30 mph zone and there will be three cop cars used to give her a damn ticket while the kids in the van are scared shitless as the cops surround the vehicle.
I think the govt. is starting to get REAL nervous.
For instance, yesterday my brother-in-law called from Germany where he is stationed (you know, in case The Soviet Union attacks us in 1959)...he told me he's about to go back to Afghanistan for another tour of duty (you know, the country we invaded and occupy).
After that he's coming back to the states and will be stationed in Colorado.
Then it hit me...why the fuck do we have "forts" in every fucking state of the union??? And why do we have an Air Force base her in Las Vegas? (Nellis Air Force Base)
Is the Nellis Air Force Base just in case we get invaded by California or Arizona???
And what is the fort in Colorado for???
I would bet anything that the U.S. Govt. always has a "Plan B" if the shit hits the fan to "control" the citizens.
There's absolutely no reason for ANY air force base to be anywhere except on the coastline states. Right? We would only be using the air force against foreign countries right? So to save money and time they should be located close to where they are going to be used.
Right?
