TERRORIST ATTACKS AGAINST CHRISTIANS CONTINUE



An explosion ripped through a crowded Pakistan park where Christians were celebrating Easter yesterday, killing at least 65 people and injuring about 300.  A Taliban faction, Jamaat-ul-Ahrar, claimed responsibility for the attack and said Christians were the target of the blast. The mostly-Muslim country has a small Christian community, accounting for less than two percent of Pakistan's total population.  

COMMENTS:
I cannot fathom the voices which continue to say we must get used to it… accept it and get used to it.  I’ll be damned if I’ll shut up, lie down and die for anybody.  “It’s the new norm?”  Those words are poisonous in and of themselves.  We must arm ourselves and prepare to fight to the death to protect our freedoms and ensure peace for our children.   
 
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. Is it true that a cop was killed because police department rules prevented him from shooting back?  (Belden ~ Logan, UT)
A. Yes and no.  According to the Greenville, South Carolina Police Department, an officer is prohibited from using lethal force against those “believed to be unarmed or are not presenting an imminent threat to human life or serious bodily harm unless immediately apprehended — whether or not they are fleeing from police.  Policeman Alan Jacobs was shot and killed while chasing a known gang member and suspect on foot; he never drew his own weapon.   
Q. Are you still picking Donald Trump as your choice for president?  (Royal ~ Compton, CA)
A. I’m certainly not going to vote for Clinton or Sanders; the country is screwed up enough as it is. Cruz has proven himself to be a dirty and unscrupulous politician and we as a nation are trying to distance ourselves from such trash.  Kasich is an opportunist who thinks he can wiggle his way onto the ticket by continuing his impossible run.  That leaves Trump, who thus far has proven himself to be anything but the run-of-the-mill politician we all despise; he therefore gets my vote.   Anybody willing to give up controlling an empire such as Trump’s in order to seek the presidency has a lot of respect in my book.     

Q. I was always taught that “these colors never run” when talking about our flag and military.  Now, I hear our troops are being taught to run and hide and then to fight as a last resort?”  (Rowena ~ Sacramento, CA)
A. When you’re talking about a terror attack and an active shooter situation, the Department of Defense is telling military personnel in the area to run, hide and then fight if necessary.  “If a host nation or U.S. security is responding, be very cooperative with the law enforcement and careful you do not make yourself a suspect." Shuck and duck are the new military words of the day.
