Exactly, it s commonplace, but even though it is commonplace it is not normal
I would argue that no crime is normal
I don't see the difference between commonplace and normal. They are both terms used to denote frequency.
And that crime is the antithesis of normality in a societal setting
The distinction I am trying to make is between frequency and severity/impact.
Those are orthogonal characteristics.
to me, "normal" implies a level of acceptance
as in, something follows the norms
To me, the word normal has ethical connections rather than being strictly frequency
Okay ... I don't think I'm being understood. At the least, I was wrong to assume that it was intentional.
I am sorry to have assumed malice, but I still maintain I am being misconstrued, even if inadvertently.
aye, we seem to be talking past each other
imma go have dinner instead of interrupting with semantics
Okay. Enjoy your dinner.
Normal is a very subjective word, since what is normal to one person can be not normal to another
And here we go. Right on time.
"In what must be one of the most rapidly written, edited, and published op-eds in New York Times history, Alexander Soros, son of billionaire globalist puppet-master George Soros, has penned a blame-scaping piece pointing directly at president Trump's "politics of demonizing opponents" as responsible for the bombing of his father, The Clintons, The Obamas, and well anyone else who has received a suspicious package in the last few days and is not in any way right-leaning."
That's what I was trying to get at.
I still hold that these mysterious packages were Note 7's
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
lel
Jesus. This shit was rigged.
I still want to understand how "normal/frequent" these packages are and if they didn't just highlight a routine occurrence for political purposes or tried to present packages that didn't really contain explosive devices as such.
And I don't get why Tim thinks this is anywhere near the proportion of 9/11.
This was targeted towards four people, not 1,500.
I suppose even if theyre common for the secret service, they probably arent as common for those not protected by the secret service
@Phalynx Yes, which is why I was a little taken aback by the comparison.
I see...
I'm trying to find stats on the Secret Service, but coming up blank so far ...
I dont know, but as a Brit, I know that over the years I've heard lots of occasions as to when things have been caught before getting to the intended target and it's always just treated as "Yeah, we're just doing what we do"
Hmm, how fishy...
Here are some stats:
"More than 2.5 million members of the general public and 2 million bags screened through more than 1,216 magnetometer/X-ray operations assignments, including approximately 13,198 weapons seized at magnetometer checkpoints;"
It's not exactly what I am looking for, but it's getting closer.
"Protection for 1,444 visits of foreign heads of state/heads of government and spouses to the United States;"
"Over 366 arrests by the Uniformed Division for a variety of criminal violations;"
You're getting closer...
So, not trying to jump to conclusions, but from the mere frequency, it MIGHT be a daily occurrence.
Letter bombs might still be a bit out of the ordinary, but I want to know if they were just extra selective about reporting due to elections approaching.
Did they even confirm those turned out to be bombs? Because a lot of reports say "suspected".
Possibly...
Again, Note 7's, dont know if theyre a trick or a treat
