Military Members Will Not Be Allowed to Ruck at This Year's Boston Marathon

[Iamntxhunter]

His words, your actions. Which speaks louder?

My actions are not of one to mistrust all military if you read my post. Do I have a trust issue with Muslims? Absolutely.

There is a great deal of difference between a few pounds of HE and say 65-100 pounds in a large pack.
We are mitigating threats. Not trying to Eliminate them.

So inspect the rucks and make sure they are never sat down and exchanged with any along the route.

Exactly, we are not talking about a bunch of guys hiding in Pakistan or a village full of unknowns. You are judging ALL Muslims in the military by the actions of 1.

Reword it all you want, it's no different than judging gun owners by the actions of 1 dumbass.

The route is about 25 miles long and winds west to east along Boston's surface streets. There are 20,000 registered competitors and many runners that don't register. If standing That's one runner spaced every six feet along the route. In addition there are about 500,000 live spectators. People are constantly stopping and starting, receiving care and going to lunch. This is not a 100 yard dash in an enclosed stadium. It's a security nightmare.

500,000 spectators? Thats a security risk. They should be removed next.

That wouldn't work,i t would be too easy to sneak in a pack full of explosives.

This is a better policy and the military people are just going to have to quick whining about it and either adhere or go hike somewhere else. There should be no sense of entitlement in this situation, and they should have to follow the same rules as everyone else.

Even a dumb ass grunt should be able to comprehend that!

So a couple of terrorists get to keep our military members from ruck marching in a marathon...in the US? Got it.

This was my point. Using the other side's argument against ourselves regardless of the reason, means they are indoctrinating US.

I agree, but seemed like it would have to be spelled out for someone.

 

[jrbfishn]

If safety is the main intent, there are at least a hundred things they could do that would keep them safer. Just like gun control. But instead they have a knee jerk response to appease and feel safe. Not what would really help.

Oh yeah, they also told any terrorist listening, that they are winnig....

It's a huge event, they can't keep something bad from happening if someone wants something bad to happen. Accept that and go anyways, or stay home.

 

[Dredens]

What I am saying is you should be suspect of any military member that is a Muslim. Are they all bad? I don't honestly know the answer to that. What I can say is that I would never personally turn my back to one that had a weapon in his/her possesion and I would never trust one no matter how trust worthy the seemed.

I can't even begin to tell you how much of the wrong answer that kind of philosophy is in a military unit...

 

[mantawolf]

F that mentality and the people who support it. One dumbass committed the terrible acts in aurora so no one should have guns. One group crashed planes so one should fly. Gangbangers shoot each other so cops should be able to stop and frisk cause they feel like it. We should put cameras on every corner and let police issue tickets after watching videos, not even cops, some third party paid to do it.

Let's just let the bad guys win, **** it, really? Letting criminals determine everything everything we are allowed to do out of fear is stupid as hell. That's how politicians want things, it shouldn't be how we want things.
