SOTG 427 - Refugee Explodes, Media Puzzled

A Syrian refugee in Germany exploded recently and the BBC is puzzle as to why it might have happened and what the motivation might possibly have been. We will dive deeply into this mystery and see what we can discover.

During our Quiet Time segment from SilencerShop.com Professor Paul considers the origins of progressive socialism. If you went to public school during the last twenty years you might be shocked to learn that a U.S. President was pushing socialism in the USA, over eighty years ago.

From www.breitbart.com:

A Syrian failed asylum seeker has blown himself up with a rucksack bomb, injuring several bystanders, in the town of Ansbach, Germany, apparently after being thwarted in an attempt to attack an open-air music festival.

But you’ll never guess how the BBC chose to report the incident when news first broke.

No, actually, you probably will.

Those pesky German blasts, eh? There you are – an ordinary, decent Syrian migrant wandering around a German city one evening with a rucksack packed with explosives strapped to your back – when, through absolutely no fault of your own, the bloody thing only goes and blows itself up, taking you with it.

Could happen to anyone.

Still, the good thing is that the German authorities aren’t jumping to any conclusions. Here’s Bavaria’s Interior Minister quoted in the BBC article, which has now had its headline changed to ‘Ansbach explosion: Syrian asylum seeker blows himself up in Germany.’

“We don’t know if this man planned on suicide or if he had the intention of killing others,” he said.

Fair point. It’s the dilemma everyone goes through when contemplating suicide. Do I overdose on pills? Or slit my wrists in a hot bath? Or hang myself? Or should I just take the simple, painless option of going onto the internet, downloading a bombmaking manual, assembling all the ingredients, stuffing them in a rucksack with lots of bits of metal to make sure I’m really properly deaded, then heading towards the nearest music festival so that I can enjoy a few top choons in my final moments and perhaps share my personal tragedy with a few others….?

What with all this Islamic terrorism about it would be all too easy for the more closed-minded among us to jump to premature conclusions. Thank goodness organisations like the BBC and the Guardian are there to wag their fingers at us when we do!

From www.nbcphiladelphia.com:

Several protesters briefly broke through a security gate outside of the Wells Fargo Center just before President Barack Obama addressed Democratic National Convention attendees inside the arena.

Philadelphia Police said they detained seven people who breached the fence at Broad Street and Pattison Avenue. The Secret Service arrested the seven and said they faced felony charges for entering a restricted area. The protesters didn’t enter the Wells Fargo Center, said authorities.

Police Commissioner Richard Ross said protesters were warned repeatedly not to breach the area.
“For whatever reason, they chose to do it anyway with multiple officers sitting there waiting for them, so it was over before it started,” Ross said, explaining the situation never got tense for the officers, who were still in “soft” clothes rather than protective gear. “We’re just not gonna let anything get out of hand,” Ross said, adding that 99-percent of the people were not an issue, only a handful of instigators.

Officers secured the fence and the crowd calmed down.

Separately, a woman was injured while trying to ‎put out a flag that was set on fire, according to NBC News. She was treated at the scene for burns on her leg.

One police officer suffered non-life-threatening injuries trying to stop someone from cutting into a fence at Broad and Geary streets — slightly north of the arena, said Philadelphia Police.

Philadelphia Police turned the arrested protesters over to the Secret Service who took them to the city’s Federal Detention Center for arraignment, said the Secret Service.
