26th September

Was at the hospital this morning, and afterwards had lunch with Chaplain Bill and his daughter who brought his grandson, little Oliver, a dear little baby.

This afternoon was watching tv, like the news addict I am, while working on a project for the Senior Centre to raffle.

And in the news on said tv............

 

 

This war - or whatever it is that Obama wants to call it - has now come to a neighbourhood near me.  Almost - Moore is a suburb of Oklahoma City.

 

And it took place in a processed food factory, so it is not murder, it is "workplace violence", which made a local police officer very testy when interviewed, and insisted it was "bloody murder".

 

The perpetrator had just been fired from his job at this food processing plant, and is a recent convert to Islam.  He had also been in prison on various drug related charges, and assaulting a state trooper, and it is thought that was when he converted to Islam and was radicalised. 

 

In this country they are so proud of their 'free speech' they won't recognise hate crimes, so anyone can go on Facebook - or whatever - and write hate filled rants to their hearts content, fanning the flames of racial, or other, tensions.    And this guy's Facebook page was filled, apparently, with hate filled rants.  Someone suggested the FBI should be going through everybody's social media spotting the potential terrorists.   And how realistic is that??
