Dude was a fucking boss. Probably killed some of your people before that happened.

Weeks after the battle, stories began to circulate that Crockett was among those who surrendered and were executed.[165] However, Ben, a former American slave who acted as cook for one of Santa Anna's officers, maintained that Crockett's body was found in the barracks surrounded by "no less than sixteen Mexican corpses", with Crockett's knife buried in one of them.[167] Historians disagree on which story is accurate. According to Petite, "every account of the Crockett surrender-execution story comes from an avowed antagonist (either on political or military grounds) of Santa Anna's. It is believed that many stories, such as the surrender and execution of Crockett, were created and spread in order to discredit Santa Anna and add to his role as villain."[168]

"It is believed," is the key phrase there. Truth is we'll never know the facts, and a story can have a positive or negative effect upon those that hear it. Would love for Austin to erradicate the hipsters there, or have them grow up at least. Being involved with craft beer doesn't warrant a hipster judgement tho'. Pothead or alcoholic are much more reasonable assumptions.

The question remains though - how did the Founding Fathers arrive at this philosophy of brutal racism? Because the Democratic party did not exist in 1776, there is only one reasonable explanation:

Aliens.

Jarnuaga,

What is your proposed solution to this matter of rapidly increasing islamic terror in France? You've been putting it on everyone else to declare their stance and ideas on a solution and then shooting them down, but I've not seen anything from you. This leads me to believe you want to just live with it.

Do tell, what is it that the French should do, that is if you believe they should do anything at all.

You wanna end terrorism ? there's no way to really end it.

But you can try: first you gotta go to the root of it all: the israeli-palestinian conflict. Solve it, and i mean solve it fairly. Just stop with the bullshit in both sides: no more hamas rockets, no more colonies in palestinian country. Real palestinian state, jerusalem as a shared city for all 3 religions. The resentment from seeing the USA veto every-single-UN-resolution against israel is one of the main fuel for isis/al qaeda/boko haram etc. Isis is on the verge of being defeated in syria/irak, but it won't stop the terrorism, so if you think you can do it just by sending bombers..

After that, it's a brave new world. hey, it's not easy, israelo-palestine is a shitty conflict that involves so many parameters, you better try to square the circle than solve it. but it is the main issue right now. Solve that, and the harder step will be done.

Before that ? well you can prevent terrorism, yes. Mainly by intelligence, and cooperation with allies about information. Will it prevent ALL terrorism ? of course not. There's something that everyone should have in their mind: if a man is comitted and is not afraid to die, he's gonna kill, whatever you do. If you can't accept that, well, welcome to the real world ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It might be different in France, but mainstream politics in the USA just doesn't allow for any sort of critique of the policies of the state of Israel. If any politician takes a viewpoint like that they get labeled as an anti-semite pretty quick. But it's pretty clear the answer to the terrorist threat is to bomb more brown people, that seems to be working.

Is it true that its breaking the French gov was suppressing that the Bataclan victims were tortured before death? Reports saying some were found with eyes gouged out and genitals removed and placed in their mouth.
