"In Damaturu, Nigeria yesterday "gunmen" from an Islamist group, called "Boko Haram," stormed a boarding school overnight and murdered at least thirty children. In the process, the school building itself was burned, and some likely died in the fire. No police ever arrived to protect the children!
"Boko Haram" loosely translates to, "Western Education is Sinful." The Islamic group also regularly kidnaps scores of young girls for the purpose of sexual slavery.

"Several obvious observations and conclusions:
1) Gunmen: Plural. A loosely organized massacre involving many thugs with guns, almost certainly AKs.
2) Some died in the school building as it burned: The tactic is to herd/frighten victims into a building, and then set it on fire. As terrified victims try to escape, they are gunned-down. It is a tactic for exterminating pesky non-moslems that is, by no means, "new." The murderers were apparently not worried in the slightest about anyone, official or not, interfering!
Thus, "taking cover" in a building and then naively waiting for "help" proved a poor plan in this case!
3) The claimed title of "Western Education is Sinful" should be a clue! With a name like that, most will conclude that "negotiating" with Westerners is not their speciality!
4) Preying on unarmed civilians: They make easy, "soft" targets for murderous ideologues. High body-count massacres, with scant risk to the murderers.
5) Utter failure of the military and police to protect unarmed citizens: Innocent citizens in Nigeria have been long-since forcibly disarmed, "for their own good," of course, by the government, a typical "thugoracy." The " failure" noted above is mostly a function of complete disinterest!
6) We can expect this kind of institutionalized brutality anywhere Islamics, or totalitarians in general, hold sway.
The observant among us had better conclude that all attempts to "disarm" civilians are merely to make wholesale slaughter easier and less risky for the murderers, all their current, flowery rhetoric aside! Who advocate forced disarmament are all calculating murderer wannabes, every one of them, including many leftists over here. This is why "learned helplessness" has taken on religious trappings with the political left. Never doubt it!
How many historical examples "disarm and then slaughter" do you need?
"... the winds that will blow then!"
Even as a non-lawyer, it disturbs me when our Chief Executive regularly displays disdainful contempt for laws duly passed by his own Congress, according to the provisions of our Constitution, which they all took an oath to, and piously profess to "uphold and defend." He apparently arrogantly thinks laws can be nonchalantly violated by him, with nary a whimper from that same Congress, from either party, nor from the Courts, and always to the cynical cheers of the leftist media/propaganda machine, masquerading as "journalists."
A lack of outrage from professing "liberals" disturbs me even more. They hypocritically criticize Republican presidents for doing far less, yet remain curiously silent in the face of such a blatant wave of lawlessness at this, the highest level.
Some naive liberals have privately told me they too consider all this high-level criminality troubling, but quickly add that it is all "okay," because their dimpled darling wants what is best for all of us. I only wish I shared, indeed, as a rational person I could share, their optimism! But, too many reigns of terror have started just so, with an unapologetic totalitarian in charge, and a gallery of "useful idiots" cheering him on!
In the 1966 feature film, "A Man For All Seasons" Sir Thomas More (played by Paul Scofield), then Lord Chancellor of England, has this terse conversation with his future son-in-law, William Roper (played by Corin Redgrave):
Roper: Arrest him! (referring to a disloyal servant who, caught in a lie,is fleeing More's presence)
More: No! What law has he violated?
Roper: God's law!
More: Then, let God arrest him!
Roper: Well, he's gone now.
More: And go he should, though he be the Devil himself, unmolested, until he violates some law
Roper: So, now you'd give the Devil himself the protection of law!
More: Yes! What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil?
Roper: Yes, I'd cut down every law in England to do that!
More: Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned 'round on you, where would you hide then, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country is planted thick with laws, from coast to coast, Man's laws, not God's! And when you cut them down, and you're just the man to do it, do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then?
Yes, I'll give the Devil himself the protection of law, for my own safety's sake!"
The "protection of law," that we've always taking for granted as Sovereign American Citizens, is now in jeopardy. For the first time in our history, we can no longer depend on it!
I wonder if any of us will be able to stand upright in the winds that are coming!
