BREAKING NEWS: MILLIONS OF ISIS TERRORIST MEMBERS DISCOVERED IN THE UNITED STATES!

The colors of ISIS coincidentally are black and white. It is no surprise that they share the colors of another terrorist organization that we are extremely familiar with and that has killed countless humans in America. The worst parts? They don't even keep track of how many they actually kill, they just keep pulling their triggers and killing more. Also, no one is fighting their growing power, and no one seems to acknowledge that they even are terrorists. Which is a worse threat to America? ISIS in the middle east, or the terrorists here: millions of them who have taken over our legal systems.

1) They break into your homes with automatic weapons and grenades
2) They steal your money, vehicles, homes, and any other property you have worked to earn and keep most of them
3) They kill you if you deviate from their exact orders, or sometimes for no reason at all other than to kill
4) They have no legal repercussions for their actions because they essentially *are* the legal process
5) If they do decide to kill you, your family members, or your loved ones, there will be nothing you can do
6) They are constantly on patrol, watching you in your neighborhoods, intimidating you with their lawless presence
7) Anything they do is seen as forgivable as long as they say "I don't know", "I felt my life was in danger", or "There were drugs"
8) They may lock you in a prison camp for the rest of your life by framing you for crimes if you get on their bad side for any reason, or simply if they have a bad day
9) They want to see your papers all the time and for you to constantly prove your residence and innocence
10) If you attempt to peacefully assemble you will suffer and be arrested; you may be gassed, beaten, or killed
11) They buy out the media, politicians, and the legal system with the money they steal
12) If they decide you are guilty, nothing you can do will prove otherwise
13) They have been outsourced by something known as "infrastructure privatization" and they could be secretly owned by anyone, anywhere in the world...
14) Every day, the constitution means less and less, because they are slowly stripping your rights away... one by one...
15) All the laws that you have to obey apply to none of them; they are exempt

My main point in the title is, we already have terrorism in the United States... Why are we worried about ISIS who has killed a handful of Americans, when we have terrorists here killing 2 or more every day?

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Auditors found the Mesa County, Colo., Sheriff’s Office paid thousands for projectors, scanner equipment and other items that were not intended for law enforcement. They also paid for 20 lawyers in the Mesa County prosecutor’s office to attend a conference at the Keystone ski resort. Auditors questioned more than $78,000 in spending.


They are using the stolen money to send lawyers to ski resorts... I see that as buying off the legal system and a form of preemptive bribery...

Captain Obvious suggests the speciesist OP is likening ISIS, terrorism and all things wrong with the police in the US.

I'm not sure why, except emotion on a Saturday.

....system of the US. True, some events by the Police certainly seem like terrorism but of the other hand, the Police do wonderful things for society also.
ISIS, on the other hand does Evil ...period.

How do we know that ISIS doesn't do good things for people in those other countries to gain their trust? They seem to be well funded and somewhat well liked amongst some populations in order to keep growing in numbers. Muslims apparently refuse to disavow them, too. I'm sure they run PR campaigns just like our terrorists here do. I disagree with both of these extremist/terrorist organizations.

do NOT agree with these perverted murderers, rapists and maniacs, hiding behind Islam. You need to rephrase what you wrote...Qute a large a brush you tarred at least 25% of the world with. The largest Muslim country in the world, MALAYSIA, outright denounced and WARNED isis not to try that shit there. Your post and subject makesa lot more sense when you DON'T MAKE BROAD BLANKET STATEMENTS based on a subject you OBVIOUSLY don't know ANYTHING about.

I know that most Muslims are standing against ISIS. There are some groups of Muslims who refuse to do this, however. I am referring to those groups. Hence why I did not say all Muslims, and I used the word "apparently". Your reaction is a bit extreme. And how do you know ISIS doesn't run PR campaigns and some Muslims aren't just being fooled by it?

with 350 million guns amongst them is a terrorizing job.

The proliferation of guns in America on all sides, found in all places, at any time, hidden and open, deadly and deadlier, is a large part of this...police see monsters and insanity everywhere, and these things do exist in frightening numbers in America, and if the monster is black it is even more frightening in their systematically jaded minds.

The more guns = more violence has been debunked in so many ways... Notably, refer to countries with high gun ownership and extremely low crime rates. There are several.

They were trained so hard after 9/11 to look everywhere for terrorism and to be hypervigilent at all times, that they became what they hated... Because they rarely ever found any real threat... If a police officer dies in my state we hear about it for months in the news... How tragic it is... Etc etc etc... If someone is killed by a cop they are lucky if they are mentioned namelessly... As if it is an ordinary occurrence and if they die it is assumed to be their fault anyway... So the whole 'cops are scared' thing is a joke... They are the scary ones... Because now if someone breaks into your house you have to think twice about defending yourself... Either choice could cost you your life... If it is a swat team and you jump to defend... Bam, dead... If it is an armed robbery... You hesitate out of fear because you could be getting swatted... and bam, Dead... Point is, now you have an even scarier monster to try to defend yourself from... And who do you call for an emergency when the police are the ones committing the crimes???

Gun ownership is a civil right, whether or not people like it these days... But if we start picking and choosing our civil rights we won't be in for a very good time... With the police behaving the way they have been lately... So publicly... I'd say now is a horrible time to get rid of any guns you may have..

I bet they don't sleep well at night, thinking things like...

"When do I know when I robbed the wrong person?"
"I shot that little girl sleeping, I wonder if her daddy will kill me?"
"I have to hide underground, otherwise these protesters will kill me. I knew I should've planted a gun. I tried to wait for the cameras to stop but there were just too many people around to plant evidence!!"
"How long until those people I planted drugs on get out of jail?"
"I wonder if they will recognize me without my uniform... What if they all find out what I really am and come for me?"

These are all logical questions a police officer might have. So I think yes, they are terribly afraid. Afraid that we will all find out about their BS and decide we have had enough and retaliate. That's why they are so so scared... They're wetting the bed imagining having to answer for all the crimes they commit...

I do believe that we may have a small amount that arrived by plane. Some say by the border, but I can't see them flying into Mexico and try and sneak across the border. If they are in the United States, it is by airlines.

And not concerned enough about something that most definitely IS a threat to not only our freedom but to our very lives.

The cops are getting to the point where calling them about a burglary could end with them shooting YOU.
