    No, you open up the Chrome Dev Tools, click the Timeline tab and then start recording. Click a few days in the calendar, stop the recording and then you'll see that after each clic…

    Ok, so there are some cases where it helped stop the attack. Going a step further, how many of those had AKs and maybe bullet proof vests? Should everyone have armor piercing bulle…

    No, having guns won't help one bit. Just name one attack in the States that has been foiled by a citizen. What will happen unfortunately is that the surveillance measures will incr…

    If your daughter and wife were kidnapped by 2 people and you catch one of them, would you torture him to save them? What if you learned that they are being raped every day? Would y…
