Mock it all you want but he has been the only candidate strongly speaking out about this since day one. If this exact attack happened in NYC at JFK, Grand Central Station and a few other subway stations in NYC in addition to the lost lives it would make our daily lives much more inconvenient going forward and cost the taxpayers a minimum of a trillion dollars. Is letting Muslims and Syrian refugees into the US really worth that? How can anyone think we should let them in at this point?

This is absolutely insane that we are allowing these people into our country with unfettered access and no background checks.

You have to think Germany is next. This is the new normal for Europe.

There are a few Periscope channels up in Brussels if you want a real-time look at things.

Officials say the explosive used by suicide bombers in the Paris attacks was TATP — triacetone triperoxide — a combination of easy-to-obtain materials used by terrorists in the past.
TATP is so prone to pre-planned detonation terrorists have nicknamed it “the mother of Satan.”
All eight attackers in Paris wore the same type of suicide vests outfitted with the explosive. Seven of the terrorists blew themselves up.
TATP is made of a combination of hydrogen peroxide and acetone with the addition of an acid, such as sulfuric, nitric, or hydrochloric acid.

Pardon my ignorance but are these vests that powerful?
Whatever went off in that airport check in area was strong enough to cause part of the roof to collapse.

Damn... So that's 5 blasts in a short time span. Hopefully there won't be any more.

I guess they were ready to go. It's sobering to think they could respond this quickly to the arrest. What were they saying recently, that targets all across the West would be hit in coming months?

Why Germany? It seems their issue is the French treatment of Muslims.
