I'd rather take my chances against a gunman with an AR15 than a suicide vest

Easy peasy.

What about an AK and a suicide vest?

But Islam is not the issue according to the Administration.  People better wake up before this kind of attack is a regular occurrence on US soil.  How can so many have their heads up their butts so far?

Has anyone taken credit for this? Talk about biting the hand that feeds you!

 

Saw another video of the bomb going off. Took about 15 seconds from the time the guy got shot until he detonated the vest. Cop was actually standing right over him, and then ran. Seems like a point blank shot to the brain pan might have saved the day

Guessing if it is ISIS they might want to keep quiet in the hope that the Turks blame the Kurds. And vice-versa. Turkish politics is a game within a game within a game. Just like ours.

Can't say I've ever heard anyone say anything good about Turks.

ISIS just blew up the wrong airport ! The Turks were looking the other way on the Syrian border, Now that is over.  Their policies just changed this week , with Israel and Russia.

Should When it gets to that point I can see "vigilantism" on an unprecedented scale, with the USA being mooselimb free in short order.

Wait until those refugee boats loaded with mooselimbs start landing in North Africa from the USA.
