#1 Many states have "open season" on varmints.

#2 Or... stop letting any one into the country that does not wish to participate and protect western civilization mores and rules.

#3 He also goes on a mini-rant about what a "nutcase" Marine Le Pen is.

The reason we're facing the prospect of these attacks is because we've allowed a flood of these animals into the West.

If the "respectables" won't do anything about the problem, then the deplorables will.

#4 A "police state" is a large scale and continuous terror operation, replacing politics almost completely.

#5 Mumbai wouldn't have been nearly as bad had the jihadis had to worry about gunmen everywhere.

We don't need a police state -- we need our inherent right to self-defense respected. Turning off the flood from the Third World, admitting the truth about Islam, and recognizing we're all better off as free citizens of Western Civilization than as subjects in some leftist fantasy will take care of the rest of the problem.

#6 I'm surprised Peters is going this route. Missing all these years, and still, is a strategic "counter-narrative" against Jihad itself. Here is a candidate: http://theological-geography.net/?p=28938

#10 Mr Peters probably thinks a police state is what's needed in the situation, from what I've read of his commentary.

#11 A Nob Orders man?

#12 'Nob' as in Nobility? No, I really don't think the term applies to Peters. Recovering intelligence analyst more likely.

#13 It is utter nonsense that we need to give up freedom to fight terrorism.

What we need to give up is privacy. And this applies to combating all forms of crime.

I sometimes think that many of those who promote privacy do so precisely because it is so damaging to our societies.
