I’m sure the shoppers and employees feel better with the extra security but isn’t this something along the lines of closing the barn door after the horse has wandered off??

And this presents a problem how?? I’m just a knuckle dragging redneck Texas Conservative but quite honestly, I see no issue here…

Gates: Gulf states must confront Iran
If the people of the region aren’t willing to confront Iran then we don’t have a chance of getting anything done, unless we want to tie our military up for another 5 or 6 years in an Iraq style mission, and I don’t think the American people are ready for that… That means that the Bumbler in Chief will likely have troops staged and ready to go before he gets out of office…

WOW, I’ve got to take another look at this guy. Sounds like a good plan to me.
-If you stick your hand in the fire, you’re going to get burned.
-If you jump out of an airplain with a parachute, you’re going to die.
-If a man plays Rump-Ranger with another man, they’re going to get AIDS.
Russia will NEVER side against Iran in any way shape or form. They will continue to undermine us in that area of the world the way they always have.
In MY country there will be this law: all those who wish to take concealed carry away from lawful residents are mandated to plant signs on their home lawns or posted on their apartment doors which read: “This Residence Is A Gun-Free Zone; The Residents Within Possess No Firearms Whatsoever.”

Exactly. This shooting was a one time event in that area, yet all the malls in my area have locked the doors just in case. If someone wants to do what that nut job did, they will find a way, at a mall or a Burger King, doesn’t matter to them.
BTW, a really good friend of mine has started a blog for his writings. I think you two would click.

Isolation of those with contagious disease always sounded like a pretty good idea to me..especially those diseases for which there is no cure.
