How to Deter a Lone Wolf Terrorist

This is the show from Monday July 27th, 2015

Summary:

* Lone Wolf: Bob’s co-host Doug McBurney asks Bob the question that all the talking heads have been asking: how do we stop a lone wolf terrorist? After correcting the question, Bob explains how to deter any kind of terrorist.

* Liberal Talker Promoted Mental Illness: The mentally deranged murderer in the Lafayette Louisiana was given a platform to rant and rave by liberal talk show host Calvin Floyd before he went on his murderous rampage.

* Pot Hurt Sandra Bland: The facts surrounding the tragic suicide of Sandra Bland should be triggering a public policy debate about the increasing detrimental effects of marijuana on people and our culture.

One way to say it. Another way to say it is that a deranged self-styled anti-abortion anti-feminist called into radio shows and then shot some people up.

I think your alarm and defensiveness of all things even remotely progressive or liberal sometimes prevents you from using good collaborative problem-solving skills.

Whenever communication results in the condemnation or even mockery of others, the channel of an adult exchange of meaning becomes impossible.

But it might be that you already know that and are deliberately putting up barriers out of anger and fear.

As usual, gaynit cares about what a perp believed rather than advocating policy that might have a shot at stemming the tide of violence.

The more I think about it the more it seems Jeff couldn't have misconstrued the facts regarding our latest shooter in a worse or more misleading fashion. Unreal.

However, the important thing is policy to deal with such situations. Clearly, US policy has failed miserably. What would you suggest to change regarding policy? Or are you only concerned over whether this murderer is portrayed as a Republican or a Democrat?

Surely, Tripe, understanding the mindset of criminals lets the authorities develop policies that have a better chance of actually reducing violence than policies developed in a politically idealistic bubble?

But it's so much easier to just make stuff up.:chuckle:

Seriously though, understanding what makes these people tick goes far, far beyond some armchair talking points. And how exactly does blaming the First Amendment and a radio talk show host for a caller's behavior work?:think:

If a caller on Enyart's program ever goes off the deep end will Bob take any responsibility for "promoting" some nutter's actions?:chuckle:

Great. So we can ignore everything you say.

Meanwhile, discussions of justice and policy are important no matter where you sit.

I find it interesting that Houser was not only a fan of Golden Dawn, a neo Nazi group, but the Westboro Baptist Church as well.

For those of you that are familiar with the Nazis, they're a socialist movement (and the last time I checked socialism isn't a Christian/conservative ideology).

I suppose I should remind people that the late Fred Phelps of the Westboro Baptist Church was a democrat who worked for the Al Gore Presidential campaign, as well as running on the Democratic Party ticket for numerous offices, including the US Senate.

The Nazi's called themselves socialists but they were actually fascists.

How's this for a better title: "Radical Republican kills people." Nah, that might actually be close to the facts...
