Because they have the mental age of children.Wilber ... Spiderfish ... I hope you don't think you're making the RCMP look better by trashing these mentally challenged people. You're not. You're making the RCMP look even stupider than they already did. .

http://www.theprovince.com/touch/story.html?id=10874674The Surrey couple, their faces covered, are seated on a motel bed and speaking to a video camera set up by undercover police officers. Pffft! It's very easy to get mentally challenged people to say anything you want to hear. I'm beginning to think the RCMP are mentally challenged too. I was pointing out that you were right: You used out-of-date derogatory terms, but identified their mental challenges fairly accurately nonetheless.And I am beginning to think the RCMP are "idiots" and "lunatics" too. They don't have the wherewithal to withstand RCMP grooming, intimidation and coercion. Yup. And the RCMP motives are extremely suspect. Playing an ego game with CSIS? Did CSIS do a number on the RCMP? Political pressure to 'catch some terrorists'? Inquiry, investigation and charges definitely in order ... all the way up the chain of command. .

republicans-nearing-state-collapse: veterans-strongly-condemn-donald-trump In a statement, the VFW [Veterans of Foreign Wars] said: Presidential candidate Donald J. Trump has a history of lashing out after being attacked, but to ridicule a Gold Star Mother is out-of-bounds, said the new national commander of the near 1.7 million-member Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States and its Auxiliary. "Election year or not, the VFW will not tolerate anyone berating a Gold Star family member for exercising his or her right of speech or expression," I wonder if Trump went too far this time. .

REDNECK REVOLT Something new ... and maybe important ... maybe combined with the Libertarian ticket? WHITE WORKERS RESISTING CAPITALISM AND WHITE SUPREMACY: AN INTERVIEW WITH REDNECK REVOLT White working-class resistance to capitalism, and how the white working class is being manipulated by Trump. So, what exactly led you to create Red Neck Revolt? Redneck Revolt came out of the original work of the John Brown Gun Club, a working group of the Kansas Mutual Aid Collective based out of Lawrence, Kansas from 2002-2008. The John Brown Gun Club focused on attempting to simultaneously grow a militant and armed culture within already existing liberatory and revolutionary movements, and attempting to stem the tide of right wing reactionary recruitment within white working class communities. .

Vatican told bishops to cover up sex abuse: Expulsion threat in secret documents 1962 document, still in effect in 2001. The Catholic church has been preying on and exploiting children and vulnerable people throughout it's history, since the Romans took over control of Christianity, to benefit wealthy capitalists and the church. I really doubt that's changed. .

Now Trump has offended the armed forces. "I think I've made sacrifices." !! I predict he's going to take a fall. response-to-khan-family-tests-donald-trump-s-say-anything-strategy Trump broke a major American political and societal taboo over the weekend when he engaged in an emotionally-charged feud with Khizr and Ghazala Khan, the bereaved parents of a decorated Muslim Army captain killed by a suicide bomber in Iraq. He further stoked outrage by implying Ghazala Khan did not speak while standing alongside her husband at last week's Democratic convention because they are Muslim. The outcry was swift and bipartisan, leaving Trump largely isolated among his fellow Republicans ... "I am appalled that Donald Trump would disparage them and that he had the gall to compare his own sacrifices to those of a Gold Star family," said New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte, a Republican seeking re-election in one of the nation's most competitive Senate contests. Both House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell issued statements praising Capt. Humayun Khan, awarded a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart after the U.S. soldier was killed in Iraq in 2004. ... For the second time in a week, Trump's running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, issued a statement that appeared designed to put some space between the two men atop the GOP ticket. The father of a Marine, Pence said Sunday that he and Trump believe Capt. Khan is a hero and his family "should be cherished by every American."

The predators likely do. .

Yes it does. .

The Catholic Church and community provides haven and means for sexual violence against children. Or you want to talk about the Catholic church's role in colonial history? No? He's wise to not start slinging mud at another religion. .

"or some other form of pressure" inducements can be pressure. Intimidation ... The contact officer represented himself as "a businessman with jihadist ties". That's intimidating. When Nuttall didn't come up with a viable terrorist plan, he was told it would be seen as "a sign of disrespect". That's a threat. There is a lot more about police coercion that needs to be investigated. A public inquiry? Can't lay charges. My preference would be criminal charges against police and superiors who approved and supported this "sting". But who's going to investigate and lay charges? .

First, Amanda Karody has never expressed terrorist sympathies or desire to kill. Second, you have used the terms "idiots" and (sp) "lunatic". Both terms are now considered derogatory slurs, but at on time were the labels for developmental challenges (mental retardation) and certain mental illnesses respectively. So you are not far off the mark. Third, WTF are RCMP doing grooming, intimidating, harassing, coercing, teaching, planning and providing two such incapacitated individuals with the means to commit crimes that they otherwise would not have and could not have committed? Fourth, the officers knew at some point that Nuttall and Karody were not capable of planning and carrying out anything effectively. That's when it should have ended. But instead the RCMP pushed them into doing something they could not and would not have done on their own. Fifth, the judge (blamed the cops) ruled that it was entrapment . If the RCMP are smart, they will learn from this and move on. .

Looks like Toronto police approached things differently this time: /man-with-knife-on-ttc-bus-apprehended-after-5-hours-of-negotiation- The bus driver and passengers had evacuated the bus and managed to contain the man on it until police arrived, police said. Emergency task force members successfully helped coax an armed man who Toronto police describe as "in crisis" off a bus in North York Saturday after five hours of negotiation.

The question of coercion will no doubt be addressed in some disciplinary/court/inquiry process. .

Less offensive perhaps, but they are both derogatory and so are chocolate and coffee. I chuckled at 'whiter than mayo'. We privileged white people can laugh at ourselves. People of colour can laugh at themselves. But it's inappropriate to use derogatory terms for others. .

Google and catch up. .

In your opinion..

Already posted. Tsk Tsk. I've worked with special populations, Argus. I've heard all kinds of ranting and raving, hallucinating, threatening ... you name it. Maybe police need to spend some time getting to know those populations, so they stop criminalizing and killing them. At some point in this debacle, police knew these two didn't have the wherewithal to be 'terrorists'. At that point, they should have stopped. Instead they preyed on vulnerable people trying to turn them into 'terrorists'. Why? Why were police so desperate to find some terrorists? .

"Chocolate and coffee" are quite inappropriate..

You think that's how police work should be done? Encourage mentally challenged people to hallucinate about violent crimes, and then give them deadly weapons to do it? .

They didn't visit the families in the Knesset, so how is this relevant to the new law?

When they do that too often, people don't buy from those companies anymore and they go out of business.Are you saying that pipeline companies are not capable of better than the dollar-store quality performance we've seen to date? People pushing back against poorly constructed, monitored and maintained pipelines has already had a huge effect on that industry. And more to come. .

Yes, there definitely has to be some accountability and justice for the boneheads. http://vancouversun.com/news/local-news/b-c-terrorism-convictions-overturned-as-judge-rules-pair-were-entrapped She said the role the police played in the mission is even more offensive because they violated the Criminal Code in order to accomplish their objectives and almost all of their actions were unsanctioned. We need to know where the orders came from, who approved budget for this operation. .

Look at all that bomb making stuff the RCMP bought for them! Our tax dollars paid for that! And for RCMP salaries all the time they were teaching these two how to look and act like terrorists! manufactured terrorism, brought to you by ... your tax money! Woohoo! .

Kinda tinfoil hat stuff, TimG. .
