* Killing terrorists’ families would certainly be preferable to being massacred and enslaved by Muslims. But if the will to take such drastic measures was there, it wouldn’t be needed, because any country genuinely determined to protect its people from terrorists wouldn’t let in Muslims in the first place.
The same applies to countless other solutions I see proposed to tackle terrorism. It’s like telling a pathological arsonist how to put out fires.
* When I lived in France in the 960′s & 70′s, it was common knowledge among American expatriates that if the kids were caught with drugs, the whole family could be deported. Usually, this wasn’t used for small amounts of “soft” drugs. But I knew families that were visited by the Police and warned to knock it off or get out of the country. In one case, only the fact that the Mother had been born in France and later married an American and switched citizenship stopped the deportation of her and her kids.
Similarly, if a foreigner running a business legally hired his own countrymen illegally, his home and business could be confiscated and he could be deported. I never heard of a case personally where they went that far, but I knew people who told me it had happened to friends of theirs.
* I remember one Filipino nurse who was raised in a region where Muslim violence was the norm who told me to the effect ‘that Americans are far too nice in dealing with these people’.
That sums up the West’s mentality to Islam.
But until the advent of importing Muslims we didn’t need to be serious hard asses. But we do now. If we don’t we’re going to be ripped apart by them.
Of course we don’t have to descend to the level of the Russians if we simply expel them all. It would be the most humane approach, rather than endure a series of terrorist attacks that spawn a nationwide backlash against the Muzzies and their government enablers.
However given the sort of Ivy League educated idiots we have at the helm of state, I have every confidence that they will continue to merrily import millions more until one day they decide it’s time to slice and dice us. Our response will of course be very PC and weak. Some attacks will never be reported at all.
For example just a couple of days ago a black man(a career criminal with a pistol and 140 rounds of ammo) in Richmond Virginia shot and killed a police officer at a bus terminal just out of the blue and wounded six other people. The story disappeared after a day or two because the killer was a vicious black thug.
Or how about those two attacks by Muslims on the West coast that vanished down the memory hole?
* Radley Balko brought the issue of asset forfeiture to light in the last few years. In the U.S., the police often have the power to take money and other assets that contributed to an alleged crime. Balko pointed the rampant abuse that seemed to be going on in some cases of this, as police seized assets with the flimsiest connection to crimes in order to either bolster their own bank accounts or else because the department had its funding cut and needed the stuff to make ends meet.
But imagine if we started doing so to terrorist assets. Not just their own money, but expand it outwards: stayed at your mom’s house while planning your attacks? Her house is ours now. Used your dad’s car once to meet another terrorist? It’s ours now. Hid some of the explosives at your dad’s business? That beautiful laundrette is ours now. Local Mosque sponsored a speaker that you admired and you attended the event? That mosque’s gotta turn over all the revenue from that event.
The asset forfeiture system already in place might work well. It would be better than passing laws explicitly doing so, since that would raise alarms and have constitutional challenges immediately. Asset forfeiture has been tough to beat in court as is.
Aggressive prosecutors have been known to use RICO and wire fraud provisions to threaten gangster’s mothers’ homes and father’s pizza parlors to shake up the mafia families and get them talking and running. The same could be done with terrorists. Accounting ledgers are often Uncle Sam’s best friend.
Or we could just not let them in.
* Yes, Muslims are very good at running small businesses with large numbers of cash transactions.
It seems unlikely the concept of collective responsibility will ever be applied, even in the most obvious and constitutionally acceptable cases. For example, one could argue for applying the idea to chain immigration by looking not only at the would-be sponsor, but also his family. But the left would shut bricks if that were to happen. “How dare we judge Mohammed’s future wife from Lahore based on the fact that his cousin, also named Mohammed, engaged in a bit of workplace violence in Waukesha while mumbling some random mumbo jumbo – ‘Admiral Akbar’ or something. It was totally obvious he was just a Second Amendment nut with an unhealthy fondness for tertiary Star Wars characters.”
The best way and most clearly Constitutional way to apply collective justice is to not allow the siblings, first cousins, second cousins, third cousins, fourth cousins, or sixth cousins thrice removed of Islamic terrorists to move to the West. The Left won’t even allow that, so we are emphatically screwed.
* Europe’s leaders do believe in collective punishment…of the native population. Women told not to go to certain areas, to dress modestly, not to travel alone, public swimming pools closed or segregated, separate train cars. Not to mention the draconian enforcement of hate speech laws and the use of water cannons against peaceful anti-immigrant demonstrators.
* Actually drone strikes against their native villages would be a good deterrent to suicide bombers. ” If you blow yourself up and kill innocents, we’ll blow your native village and entire clan to smithereens”. You cannot play nice with Muslims. They’ll despise you the more for that.
Hell, even Budists play dirty with Muslims, like we saw in Burma, where not long ago budist monks expelled and butchered Muslims, because they knew they’ll show no mercy in return.
* I wish our mainstream media would broadcast uncensored videos of the aftermaths of Islamic bombings and shootings. When one watches those, one is so shaken, sad and disgusted that going after the Islamic terrorists’ complicit inner circles becomes eminently reasonable.
At Boston, Brussels, etc. there were screaming, moaning people with limbs blown off, bones sticking out. HORROR perpetrated by jackasses from a psychopathic society with folks at home who know what they do.
* It’s amazing how the British went from cold-blooded state terrorists to total cucks in less than a century. No happy medium.
* …much of the difficulty we have had in the last 15+ years with Muslims is due to a criminal lack of awareness among our elites of Muslim customs, endogamous marriage patterns, and tribal propensities. Our elites project Anglo norms and values onto totally alien cultures.
* But of course, we’re not allowed to notice why we can’t have nice things like civilization and tolerance. From today’s paper:
Father accused of fatally shooting son because he was gay
Jim Key, spokesman for the Los Angeles LGBT Center, said late Friday. “Despite all the civil rights victories we’ve had in the last few years, we still live in a society where people face violence or even murder by their parents, simply by being open about their sexual orientation or gender identity.”
Name of the father: Shehada Khalil Issa.
Headline on most news stories identify the killer as “California man” or “LA man”.
The headline on the original CBS story subversively read, “LA man Shehada Issa charged with killing son for being gay” but was quickly changed to “LA man charged with killing son for being gay”
* I remember giving counter terrorist training to a Filipino police chief in Palawan, near an area that the MILF (no joke, the Mindanao Islamic Liberation Front) was trying to expand into.
We were going through the usual American BS about rules of engagement and he said “That’s stupid. If I know an officer is with the MILF I just have him killed. ”
As far as I know, Palawan is still MILF free. Well, in one sense of the word.
* Europeans, Americans and other whites have evolved past the point where they feel comfortable regressing to barbarian behavior. The example of the last war shocked the civilized people of the world and spurred on a desire to move to a higher level of morality. Collective punishment is no longer considered to be something civilized people do. The best way is to not have people who are, in effect, enemy nationalities in our midst; perhaps it’s the only way. We’re told this isn’t possible but why isn’t it? Because our leaders say so and refuse to take any steps to help the people of this country; their loyalties lay elsewhere. We have a failure of leadership. They’re more interested in currying favor with Goldman-Sachs and living the good life than with the fact that the barbarians are heading our way.
* The problem with Trump is that he says things that people know are true, but which are supposed to be suppressed:
1. If something is illegal, then it should be punished (immigration, abortion).
2. Collective punishment works.
3. Rich people buy politicians.
4. American elites are weaker than foreign elites.
5. Russia is helping us in Syria.
* The desire to be “civilized,” prevents the common sense policy of immigration restriction because immigration restriction is collective punishment. The behavior of past immigrants prevents new immigrants from entering.
So our leaders will do nothing until jihadists begin targeting SWPLs, LGBTs, and Jews.
* Moshe Dayan called Meir Har Zion the greatest soldier Israel had ever produced. An incident in his life may be of interest. Har Zion’s sister was captured, raped and murdered by Bedouin tribesmen while she was hiking on their territory across the border in Jordan. In revenge Har Zion crossed the border and captured six Bedouin men from the same tribe and killed five of them, four with knives. The sixth was sent back to his tribe to tell them what happened.
* Right now, ABC is showing an ESPN documentary about Christian Laettner, the bully basketballer everyone loved to hate.
We never hear the word “bully” attached to, say, Latrell Sprewell, who wrapped his hands around his coach’s neck and tried to choke him.
But Coach Bob Knight*, who tried to choke one of his players, was often called a bully.
Funny how that works, isn’t it?
*He once went after a kid – a fan, not a player – who called him “Bobby.” You had to call him Coach.
