Oprah 1, Civilization 0.
One of the women who was shot and injured by Pakistani Naveed Haq in the Jewish Community Center a few weeks ago is speaking out.
She was astonishingly courageous during the event:
The first thing I had to do was protect my baby ... and put my arm in front of my abdomen," she said. “By some miracle the gunman shot me in the arm.”
Klein said she crumpled to the ground and the gunman moved on and started screaming that people not call police, but, she said, she did it anyway.
"He heard me on the telephone and said because you're too f-ing stupid to listen to me, you're the hostage," she said. "He put the gun to my head."
Police say Klein helped calm down Haq and he ended up surrendering to police.
But now she's being astonishingly stupid, reverting to liberal form:
Klein said she plans to use the incident to campaign for gun control and workplace safety.
Gun control? Workplace safety?? Workplace safety???????
If anyone in the Center had been armed and trained, Haq's mission would have failed. So the 'Haq attaq' is actually a fine argument against gun control.
But workplace safety? Where does that come from?
I suppose we're seeing the result of self-selection, similar to what happened in Germany in the '30s. The Jews who saw what Hitler was doing moved to America, while the established and Oprahfied elite remained in Germany and got gassed. Later, the realistic ones moved to Israel while the blind leftists remain in America.
Perhaps these hyper-civilized folks need to rethink a few matters, to put it gently. ¶ 7:57 AM
