What's cute is how he assumed Thalasinos- as a Messianic Jew (read: Christian Zionist, not a pure Jew) would instinctively know krav maga like how Chinese are supposed to know Kung Fu and how Japanese are supposed to know Karate or Ninjitsu.

Oh, those are horrible assumptions.
<sarcasm>
Informed people know that Japanese people automatically know judo if they're mostly samurai-class descent, ninjutsu if they're descended from a ninja clan, sumo if they're fat, and karate otherwise. (Aikido, being of recent vintage, has to be taught, it hasn't been bred into any major sub-population yet.) *sage nodding* And saying that Chinese people all know kung fu is a gross oversimplification, like saying that all Chinese people speak Chinese - every Chinese person knows the appropriate local strain of kung fu based on the geography of their breeding, and those different kinds of kung fu are as different from one another This is why kung fu movies always bring up who is whose father, uncle, et cetera - China spent hundreds of generations carefully breeding for genetic knowledge of the best form of kung fu, the way that the AKC carefully breeds for funny-shaped skulls and bad posture.

Not being able to use Krav Maga, is the same as not knowing it within the context of what I said. I know that almost every Israeli citizen receives at least some Krav Maga training during their mandatory conscription into the IDF, which is just how it ought to be.

*shrugs* Krav Maga isn't the end all. So what if every Israeli had some training with it. Sure as part of the IDF they are effective. As a civilian; it degrades unless they keep the training up.

That's true. I was really just speculating out loud, wondering what they'd have tried to attack. Like you said, there's a lot there, but I don't know if they would've just gone from random location to random location or if they'd have actual targets of interest. I mean, the Paris attackers' ultimate plan was to kill the French President; everything else was just some distraction. What would've Farouk and Malik have done had Farouk not gone to off Thalasinos and company?

It's possible that they would have planned a bigger attack using more of the ammo and bombs, but we don't know.

It's also possible that they're trying to demonstrate that no place is safe from them - that they think they can get us anywhere, from Paris, France to Perris, California (Perris being @ 40 or so miles from San Bernardino).

Perris California would have made an excellent follow-up target from a tactical perspective. No one could have missed that connection.

And now I have Billy Joel's "Goodnight Saigon" stuck in my head.

EDIT: Although once you've heard the original, this is probably a more enjoyable version.

Someone robbed a survivor's house while they were at a vigil.

The survivor's story later made its way to the LA Kings of the NHL, who sent her regards.

Kudos to the Kings organization.
