Another Bash on Paintball - This Time Terrorism
Found another bash on paintball, this time with solid proof that it is used to do terrible things.
THE MODERN FACE OF TERRORISM….Federal authorities have arrested six men who were plotting to kill American soldiers at Ft. Dix in New Jersey. From the Washington Post:
Charging document filed in federal court in Camden yesterday portray an ambitious and cold-blooded — but somewhat bungling — cadre who hoped to kill at least 100 soldiers, but also dropped training videos off at a local store to be copied, and spoke openly to a Philadelphia police sergeant about obtaining maps of Fort Dix.….In March of 2006, an FBI informant established a relationship with one of the men believed to be in the videotape….The informants convinced members of the group that they could help them obtain automatic weapons to use in their attacks.
….Their training regimen included playing paintball, the documents say.
Let me get this straight: these guys dropped off jihad videos at a local store, talked to Philly cops about getting a map of Ft. Dix, were still trying to procure weapons after 17 months of planning, and practiced for the attack by playing paintball.
So maybe they were really dumb and got caught, but that doesn’t help our image! Now people can associate paintball with violence, terrorism. And that’s what the people will see. Most will make conclusions that paintball is promoting this crap, when instead terrorists are just using IT to do whatever it that they do. Basically, if it wasn’t paintball, then it would be something else. For all we know, these morons would be using airsoft…or nerf…
It’s never going to end.
