So our best stratagy is to lower ourselves to their level? Ain't going to do it.

It's what they understand.

Do see a nice bullpup. Is that the one in 5.8mm?

I really tire of this kind of sarcasm. Twenty nine people are dead, over one hundred are injured, and we sit here making wise cracks aimed at the antis. Pretty sad.

Why? Human life is cheap in Asia.

Oh yes. Looks like they trust their soldiers as little as we do ours.

SWAT team leader 'gunned down five Kunming terrorists in 15 seconds' - A Good Guy with a Gun...

SWAT team leader 'gunned down five Kunming terrorists in 15 seconds' | South China Morning Post

The swat team leader deployed to Kunming railway station as knife-wielding attackers hacked passengers to death said he shot five of the suspects in 15 seconds, preventing further bloodshed.

The entire attack at the railway station lasted about 25 minutes.

Apparently in China, when seconds count a good guy with a gun is only 25 minutes away.

So, I thought there was a current thread about the Uighurs, but I couldn't find it after several searches, so I figured I'd necropost this one.

Alas, the Uighurs of Xinjiang are learning what authoritarianism really is.

It says examples of behaviour that could lead to detention include expanding the concept of halal - which means permissible in Islam - to areas of life outside diet, refusing to watch state TV and listen to state radio and preventing children from receiving state education.

Ok, but I don't think anyone on INGO would advocate locking up Muslims in internment camps for purposes of re-educating them on the right way to be.

That's right. I had the lasagna.
