  • It's like a story I heard Bill Burr, a comedian, tell at one of his shows about his dog. He gets a pitbull from a dog's home. After a while he has to take it to a dog psychologist because it keeps tryign to attack strangers. The Psychologist asks him to describe his whole routine with the dog and Bill explains how he races her to the house and wrestles her before he takes her out. The doc says the dog thinks he's challenging it for territory, amping her up and preparing her for battle. Then he's nervous while walking her which she senses and attacks anyone she sees. He's just strolling, but in her head she feels like she's walking out to the final of the superbowl screaming "THIS IS WHAT WE'RE HERE FOR" in her head.

    Those security people are like the pitbull. They spend all day watching videos of terrorist attacks on the internet, bashing their heads against the wall and shadow boxing, then when they see a 9 year old who can't ride a bike properly they clothes line him and swing him round by his neck.
    That goes for the security services in general.

    And there's going to be an additional 3,500 security staff shipped in that are trained professional soldiers? What could possibly go wrong with that.
