RedState: The Terrorists Win

A publisher published something that offended. It mocked, it offended, and it showed the fallacy of a religion. It angered.

 

So the terrorists decided they needed to publicly destroy and ruin the publisher in a way that would not only make that destruction a public spectacle, but do it so spectacularly that others would think twice before publishing or saying anything similar.

The Lessons of Coffeyville and Paris

January 7th, 2015 - 1:47 pm by Michael Walsh

Violence never solves anything, except when it does

In 1892, five members of the famed and feared Dalton gang rode into Coffeyville, Kansas, a town near the border with Oklahoma where some of them had grown up. Their plan was to rob two banks simultaneously and then clear out. They never made it. Alerted to their presence, the townsfolk grabbed their guns and shot them to pieces, killing four of them. An eyewitness recounted:

“…Just at this critical juncture the citizens opened fire from the outside [of the Condon Bank] and the shots from their Winchesters and shot-guns pierced the plate-glass windows and rattled around the bank. Bill Powers and Dick Broadwell replied from the inside, and each fired from four to six shots at citizens on the outside. The battle then began in earnest. Evidently recognizing that the fight was on, Grat Dalton asked whether there was a back door through which they could get to the street. He was told that there was none. He then ordered Mr. Ball and Mr. Carpenter [two bank employees] to carry the sack of money to the front door.

Thanks for posting the item "The Terrorists Win". I live near Atlanta and am weary of the local talking head 'journalists' reporting on the dismissal of the Fire Chief as though he were something to be scraped off their shoes.

 

I just appreciated the column for the hypocritical disparities it reveals about social terrorism and the parallels to physical terrorism.

And he makes his point in so very few words.
