These are also the same people who support wars and other radical military action, because they know that if another attack happens, it's not going to be anywhere near them.
If you're not one of these people, then what the hell do you care? But I'm sick of people supposedly being up in arms about something that happened in our city, then shitting on us left and right. If you don't want to hear it, I really don't care. |
Dude, it happened to the country as a WHOLE. The cocksucking cowards accomplished their goal of creating widespread panic, they werent just singling out NYC or even DC for that matter. Were the citizens on the left coast just supposed to shrug it off like it was nathan?? The simple fact that an attack like that became feasible (I, for one, thought that style of attack was unfathomable) is enough to send shockwaves and feelings of complete distress throughout the land.
I'm pretty sure that if Ahmed Ressam had not been caught at the border and was able to play out his attack on the west coast, it would have rattled the cages of us over on this side of the country. Where it happens makes no difference to me, whether it be in my backyard or in Wyoming. The fact remains that it finally happened on OUR soil and it woke me the phuck up for sure.
