Mass shootings are another one.The control freaks love when those things happen because it gives them the perfect excuse to incite the dummies to clamor for giving up their freedoms so that they can "be safe". Every incident moves us closer to becoming a full-fledged police state where the people have no freedom.
Back in the 60s the government and popular culture made heroes out of Cuban highjackers who stole airplanes to fly out of Cuba. When they got here some of them even got jobs with airlines. The muslim nutters saw that the Cubans got away with it and then they started highjacking planes. Now you have to almost strip naked to pass through the airport checkpoint Charlie. People put up with it because it makes them "feel safe". The government spies on the entire world but hires people it puts on its phony watchlists. Meanwhile tons of cocaine, heroin, opium, and assorted pills come into the country like they are tvs. For some reason they don't have a clue as to who's doing that or who's funding and arming the terrorists or buying their stolen oil. But they know where you have been by tracking your smart phone.
In another generation you will need permission to leave your house but all of those problems will continue without a snag.
The sole purpose of ramping up the hysteria over mass shootings and the very rare terrorist attack is to get people to surrender their freedom and liberty. The Brits are going bonkers because a nut cut three people at a train station.
