Not to worry though, I’m sure the target was randomly chosen …
Shots were fired Saturday at a cafe in Copenhagen as it hosted a freedom of speech event organized by Swedish artist Lars Vilks, who has faced numerous threats for caricaturing the Prophet Muhammad. Danish police say one man was killed.
In a statement, Danish police say they are looking for the perpetrators who drove away in a dark Volkswagen Polo after the shooting shortly before 4 p.m. (1500 GMT, 10 a.m. EST) at the Krudttoenden cafe.
The police said the victim was a 40-year-old man.

Who could have done this, and why? I’m stumped.
Who could have done this, and why? I’m stumped.
Possibly someone(s) concerned to make real the ClownDisaster’s obiter dictum that “the future must not belong to those who slander the Prophet of Islam”?
We can look at that, or we can look at my new fleurs, a month early this year (except the Amaryllis, which grew indoors).
Or if you’re not into flowery things, there’s this guy’s feed, which is equal measures of cool and creepy, unless you’re a 10-year-old boy, in which case it’s six flavors of awesome.
i like to sit just quietly and smell the flowers
Holy shit. Ramirez just cut right to the bone there.

And now a report of a second shooting in Copenhagen outside a synagogue, 3 more shot, among those two more police.
One dead goes the report of the synagogue shooting, shot in the head, apparently not the cops.

Expect more of this, it is a typical strategy of both CAIR and the BGI
*** Over 100 [600] artists announce
a cultural boycott of Israelthat they are leftist Jew-haters ***And? So what’s new?
*** “. . . or fool ourselves with illusions.” ***
See whether you don’t notice the author’s primary illusion, and in consequence find yourself muttering “Physician, heal thyself.”
*** “The solution for the Jews of Denmark is not to leave in the wake of the terror attacks in Copenhagen on Saturday,” the ambassador, Jesper Vahr, said on Sunday. “Our prime minister said that an attack on the Jewish community is an attack on all of Denmark’s citizens. I echo this sentiment. We will do everything in our power so that the Jewish community in Denmark feels safe.” ***
Yes, well, thinking Jews might just consider the decades preceding this — decades in which the importation of Jew-hate, to be added to existing Jew-hate already present in Denmark constitutes anything like “everything in our power”? And then go on to mull over whether the PM of Israel or a Danish functionary spends the greater energy and time seeing to the welfare of Jews as such? And then further to consider just what is in the power of the Danish government to do, to say nothing of what is within the scope of the will of the Danish government?
*** The meetings! The channels! The back channels! Diplomacy! [. . .] And this gets to the most important argument as to why an alliance with Iran is a recipe for more war. ***
Lee Smith, Weekly Standard: Don’t Authorize Obama’s War *** “ISIS is less the Syrian dictator’s opponent than his unconventional ally,” writes Continetti, “and as long as Assad remains in power so will the sectarian and political furies that gave rise to ISIS at the beginning of the war. And yet it is impossible to believe that Obama will uproot the weed responsible for some 300,000 dead, millions of refugees, use of WMD, and the Caliphate so long as his strategic goals are détente with Iran and a franchising of Middle East “security” to the mullahs.”
That may be a bit of an understatement. The fact is that the Obama administration has partnered with Tehran and its assets, while acknowledging Iranian interests—in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and now Yemen, where the White House believes that the Houthis are a useful counterterrorism partner against Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.
The way the Obama administration sees it, the United States and Iran have a shared interest in stopping Sunni terrorism. However, as Continetti hinted when he pointed out that ISIS is Assad’s “unconventional ally,” the Iranian resistance bloc has frequently worked with Sunni terrorist organizations—including ISIS’s precursor, Al Qaeda in Iraq, and its then-commander Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. ***

At the risk of undermining my carefully contrived and equally carefully maintained image as one of the internet’s most superior intellects, I don’t quite get Señor Ramirez’ cartoon.
Appropriate, non-condescending explanations will be appreciated.
Always relying, being encouraged to rely, on the kindness of
strangersgovernment for your basic needs, like personal security, is to make your very existence contingent on its convenience to government. To become inconvenient is to become nonexistent.Somethings are more convenient to not do than others. The road to hell is also paved with taking the easy way out.
Somewhat more specific questions about the cartoon would help, 11B40. That is, can you pin-point what it is in the image that you “don’t get”? Or, if your query goes to some more general aspect of the message in the cartoon building upon the particulars within the cartoon that you do understand, give us some help to know what is clear to you and what is not?
It seems to me to highlight the fecklessness of our “selfie” and self obsessed president who inserts himself into everything but only for his own self-aggrandizement never to effect any good onto the world outside himself. “Self” being the word that has to be most used when talking about Obama as that is what he is all about.
But what the hell if YOLO, right?
But what the hell if YOLO, right?
We might say that back at the moment the ClownDisaster first decided for himself that he was supremely fit to run for the office of President, and therewith supremely fit to re-make the United States of America, he had at the same time made the decision to tempt the possibility that he would go out in a blaze of self-created glory. Surely not in infamy.
Greetings:
Thanks for your efforts, guys. I probably should have been more specific but with an all encompassing intellect that can be overlooked.
I think I get the burning pilot and the selfie, but I have not a clue as too what the “Yolo” is to convey.
Cartoon – about five hours after that Jordanian pilot was burned alive in a cage, Obama did a video spot for buzzfeed in which he made faces in a mirror, pretended to make basketball shots, and took a selfie using a camera on a stick. The video also included notices about the Obamacare signup deadline today.
I should have refreshed before answering, obviously.
ClownDisaster himself actually remarked the term “YOLO” in the buzzfeed video released last week, though in precisely what context internal to that video I cannot say, since I have been unable (by natural constitution, I guess) to watch it. I assume in this that you know what YOLO is an acronym for, 11B40.
For my own part, I was confused about whether the cartoon appearing on the same day that we learned that 17 Kurd captives had been paraded by ISIS through Kirkuk — Kirkuk! — in cages and dressed in precisely that same garb as pilot Moaz al-Kasasbeh was held was intended by Ramirez to allude to their imminent demise as well. I assume as a probable matter of fact that those 17 Kurd captives have already been murdered in the same way as the Jordanian pilot, but that we have merely not been shown those murders yet, a showing of evil I assume to be on the near horizon. But I’m not sure about Ramirez’s thought regarding this.
YOLO in relation to the cartoon. The pilot lived his life in service to defend his nation and his people. This is also what the job of the President is but for Obama the presidency is about his own personal glorification. YOLO being if you only live once then what is it that you consider to be the best life to live?
best life
Ugh. That’s a no-go speech. Let’s talk about values instead, what say?
. . . or the solidity of charisma, maybe? (yes, Max, we’re looking at you, but only in order to look at ourselves)
11B40
IMHO Ramirez has taken the theme of the disengaged President Narcissus to the modern equivalent of Nero fiddling while Rome burns
It’s perhaps a good time to recall the remark of some Israeli wag: “Europe will never forgive the Jews for Auschwitz”. It isn’t truly so secondary as some would have it, I think, but reaches back into rather more primary matters, which, as life happens, now emerge on the surface of things.
So long . . . etc.
Greetings:
Thanks to all the educators out there. The “you only live once” condensed to “YOLO” escaped me, but it won’t again.
To me, having grown up in Sacramento, “Yolo” is the county where U.C. Davis (a.k.a. “Berkeley on the Bypass”) and West Sacramento are. Not something to invoke, unless the intent is to elicit snickers.
Charisma?
CharismO!
YOLT.
Snickers are good. So are Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.
Mark Steyn’s 2 cents.
snickers are uniters not dividers
If I want to elicit a Reese’s peanut butter cup I have to say something like Lodi or Manteca.
