This seems to be a pretty important question since the company line is that this was a "legally justified" killing.
Bursting into a house and shooting a bunch of the dwellers, one of them in the head, would seem to be more than a bit drastic considering the only justification I've seen so far is that "he indicated that he would not be taken alive," and that "he had made no attempt to surrender."
He made no attempt to surrender? What the fuck does that even mean, anyway? Does it mean that he didn't put his hands in the air? Oh dear, better blow off the top of his head even though if we capture him he could (supposedly) give us TONS of valuable information.
Yeah, THAT makes perfect sense...
Well Bruce, the army sent troops into thousands and thousands of Iraqi family homes in the middle of the night. Taking all the men and boys and sending them to torture gulag...so I mean they have no problem killing yet another Muz-lum Ay-rab.
Not one liberal pom pomming this death ritual or saying "we finally got him" seems to realize how many innocents the US government has massacred in the last ten years.
And the whole "oh we cant show photos or videos, too gruesome"...Ive seen a lot of photos of massacred children the US has killed, so whats one more photo? And the fact they showed Uday and Zarqawi's death photos renders this moot. They also got caught in the "burial at sea" is Islamic, total crap

This is the programmed-since-birth generation. Notice in the article I posted a few pages back, a scene is described where Millennials leap to their feet during class at the news of Bin Laden's death, throw down their books and run off to the grassy lawn of the WH to celebrate. Make no mistake…they didn't do all that because they've been waiting on pins and needles for this day…they did it because it's what's happening NOW. They have to be "RIGHT NOW" or they are nothing. It doesn't matter what it is that's happening, it just has to be NOW and it has to be what everyone else is doing. It's the cost of being "constantly connected".
and the quote:
Since the news of bin Laden's death has sunk in, the celebrating has wound down but a sense of hope prevails, which author and historian Neil Howe says is a very Millennial take on life.
He likens the news of bin Laden's death to that of the villain in the popular Harry Potter books.
"It's like Voldemort is dead," Howe says. "It's a Harry Potter world. For this generation, there's either pure evil or pure good. There's no anti-hero. They're out to get rid of these terrible forces and have a celebration. A happy ending. This is very defining for their generation. They've supplied the young troops who've been over there fighting for their lives."This guy Howe has been cheerleading this generation in such a manner for over a decade. He wrote the book on them, "Millennials Rising", and he really seems to love talking about them. He's usually included in all articles about them, and he's usually saying they are the future of this or that, or simply, "Millennials are like this: (fill in the blank with whatever he needs to them to be)", as he did with the ludicrous Harry Potter comparison above. They outnumber the baby boomers 2 to 1, I believe, so whatever he says they are at any given point, it's whatever is most needed to prop up the currently running Official Narrative.
The "most connected generation" is also the one most likely to take the ball and run with it when the MSM, through those connections, tells them that A is true and B is false. You would think there would be tons of them with burning questions and conspiracy theories galore…but no, "My app says otherwise, dude." Most of them think this kind of stuff is ridiculous, from my experience.
Usually youth is associated with rebellion and questioning. I think this generation was so sufficiently terrorized/imprinted at such an early age with 9/11, they're fine with whatever the PTB decide.
BRILLIANT post. Best post I've seen on the young kids. You look at the Giffords Safeway massacre, which seemed with the animal die offs to kick off this march toward insanity...and the main face of the tragedy is a girl born in tragedy(9/11/2001) and died in tragedy. They call them both "millennials" and "post 9/11" kids growing up in the "new normal". Totally programmed kids out of Equalibrium, just with incessent ADD.
This is the "iGeneration", where everything is slick computer generated, instant texts/tweets/facebook and hyper cut surrealism. The ending scene of Social Network PERFECTLY captures the modern day stupor and sense of loneliness amongst emerging technology. I agree these kids are more programmed than ever, even their language is mind numbingly crude. "um, uh...and...uh, like...uh, so like, totally...gonna go to the mall, and like get some hella sick threads and a new case for my iphone". It's not their fault. Forced unnecessary SSRI drugs, parents who fill em with high fructose filled junk food, and a mentally compartmentalized fractured psyche. See the PBS Front Line documentary "Digital Nation" about all this...those dumbshit MIT students think they're being so clever with "multi tasking" when its doing the opposite stimulation to their brains.
Yes, these kids have the racism and homophobia of past generations(for the most part) scrubbed from them. They have grown up with Hindu Indian, Middle Eastern, Black, Asian, White etc best friends and where girls rank higher in education and graduations.
But this alone cannot be a sign of progress. So many of these kids are spoiled, and I fear if we have a true implosion of the economy...or a big war/draft, these kids are in the perfect position to accept orders and propaganda....NOT wake up from their matrix
Why the HELL are films like the Matrix, Inception, etc so popular...when everyone is so damn asleep?
