[QUOTE="CottageFarm, post: 1186286, member: 16552"] Nesi, my cynical side says they kill the easy target, young soldier because they know nobody will actually do anything about it...thereby allowing them to easily continue their jihad against the west. Kill a politician and politicians get offended and decide to take steps to protect themselves. Kill the average guy, and the politicians will wring their hands in a photo op or nice little sound byte, but then it's back to business as ususal (total inaction/non-effectiveness) Yes, you're likely right that the only real consequence will be more loss of freedom and liberty for the average citizen. And many of those citizens will support it because it will give them some sense of (false) security. It's precisely what happened here, and one mustn't actually profile the likely suspects because they might get offended. Thanks Ryder, I suppose you're right that few even know who Chamberlain is. It's terribly depressing that the repercussions of such a significantly stupid decision in moderately recent history are forgotten and/or ignored. Maybe I'm just getting old.... [/QUOTE]
