The murder in Nice, France, of more than 80 people by an Islamic jihadi (first name Mohamed) using a large truck as a weapon faces security forces with a new problem. I think that problem has an answer.
Using cars as weapons by running into pedestrians has been seen numerous times in Israel. Rifles and pistols in the hands of police, soldiers, or citizens can stop a car pretty quickly. A truck is a different matter. The truck’s massive front end offers the driver some protection against light weapons fire. Jihadis will also quickly start armoring the trucks. A few pieces of Kevlar, especially on the side doors, would provide significant protection against rifle and pistol fire. And no number of bullets will quickly stop a heavy truck coming at high speed.
But an RPG will. It will also go through the truck’s front and even armored sides to kill the driver quickly. What we need to do is equip every squad car and every two-officer foot patrol with an RPG. They aren’t even expensive.
I have argued for years that in many types of combat, the basic infantry weapon is no longer the rifle but the RPG. Our opponents all have them, and our own men are at a disadvantage because we do not.
Now, just as more and more police must carry automatic rifles, so some will have to carry RPGs. They require little training. They are easy to aim and fire. One shot into the cab of the truck in Nice early in Mohamed’s rampage would have saved many lives.
Of course, police cannot be everywhere, though I am sure the police presence at the fireworks show in Nice was substantial. But that points to another measure I have previously recommended: a militia that includes every male who will sign up, pledged to attack any active shooter (or other jihadi) with whatever means lie to hand. Against trucks, the obvious means is cars. Just as militia members would pledge themselves to attack on foot, so they would pledge to use their cars as weapons to stop cars or trucks used for terrorist attacks. How? By aiming straight at them and flooring it. Some drivers will die, but many lives will be saved overall.
In the end, no technical means will be enough to end the Islamic threat in France and other countries with large Islamic (especially Arab) populations. All Moslems except the Sufis, who threaten no one, will have to be expelled. That includes citizens. Kiss the cross or be handed a one-way plane ticket.
Before that happens, France and other Western countries will suffer many more massacres like that in Nice. At some point, enraged Frenchmen, Swedes, Belgians, and others will overthrow the cultural Marxists, take their countries back, and expel the Moors, at least those not hanging from lampposts. Don’t be surprised if it happens first in France. It’s been a while since French mobs took to the streets crying, “A la lanterne!,” but I doubt they’ve forgotten how.
It was not murder. It was offensive combat operations conducted in a declared war. You, sir are why we are losing. Islam has declared war on you. What are going to do, not say, do?
Wouldn’t it be easier just to ban mooslim immigration? Why can’t we do that? Oh, we’re sorry, but we’re full up with people who blow things up while yelling “admiral ackbar”. No thank you. Have a nice day!
Well, perhaps.
Or we could just NOT LET THE TERRORISTS COME HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE.
Japan has a near absolute ban on the immigration of people who preach violent hatred of jews, christians, women, etc. (i.e, muslims). And for some strange reason, the Japanese don’t seem to need to arm their police forces with military-grade anti-tank weapons to avoid islamic terrorism. Duh.
Seriously, the point of police is to provide measured force. When the police resort to military levels of force, they have already lost. You really want the officers who are dealing with routine traffic stops and helping lost children find their parents etc. to be armed with military-grade antitank weapons? Really? Remember just how ineffective the heavily armed American soldiers were in policing the cities of Iraq and Afghanistan. At some point policing cannot be effective if the police need to resort to military-grade levels of violence.
Lind mentioned expulsion as the real solution. You guys not read the article, or Victoria?
It was murder, we do not recognize ISIS as a State. They have no legitimacy, and while tactically they are successful at killing people, they have gained nothing for themselves or their cause strategically.
Stop. Think what happens when people take to stealing RPG launchers from squad cars, steal squad cars, or attack police to get their RPGs? Or a few (underpaid, they say) crooked cops sell ’em? Those kinds of things happen all the time though police don’t brag about it, and are a virtual certainty since RPG launchers surely fetch a pretty penny on the street. There are roughly 900,000 cops out there, so let’s call that 100,000 RPG launchers. With those kinds of numbers, anything can and will happen. Inevitably.
A lone mass murderer could rack up an impressive body count with a single ill-gotten RPG vs. a carefully-chosen target, then get away SCOT-FREE! That’s what RPGs are designed for. And this is before we even consider that some frightened or trigger-happy cop will inevitably misuse his weapon, resulting in mass casualties — not just one unfortunate person full of 9mm slugs.
Mr. Lind, you have consistently maintained for years that de-escalation is the way forward for policing. Why the sudden change of heart? This is a time for steady leadership that strategically thinks a few steps ahead — not for reactionary emotion leading to short-sighted tactical measures. And remember that cops have a hard time giving up any toy once they have it.
Hmmm, I wouldn’t mind having a few RPGs for after the collapse and having to defend my home and neighborhood from the roaming bands of savages. Added to the list of things to acquire AFTER the collapse, there should be a black market in these bad boys.
RPG’s for everyone!
On a less light note, what will be needed is a separation of Islam from America, and a ban on its practice. Classifying it as a political system rather than a religion should do the trick, as fiction has postulated.
Then, expulsion.
This won’t be nice, neat, or orderly. It will be necessary, and further there will need to be something to fill the void. A atheist or secular system with no purpose or mandate will devolve into amoral chaos.
And the RPG have some serious safety issues for the shooter. It makes it very easy for that person to kill him or herself by accident.
Thinking seems to have gone out of fashion.

I’m (pretty) sure Bill’s being facetious here, but this does bring up a long-time hobby horse of mine, which is that we need to return to a universal citizen militia (with citizen ideally being defined as “white and male”). Civic republicanism, and all that. Replacing the mercenarised professional army with a well-trained Swiss style militia would go a long way toward keeping us out of Middle Eastern ratholes where we don’t belong.
And getting serious about banning and deporting Muslims would keep the rats out of here, where they don’t belong.
One additional advantage to a universal militia is that it could also take on many policing roles through the use of the old hue and cry system.
For those who may have missed it, Lind is joking about RPGs.
I missed it: please enlighten me wherein the joke is.
perhaps your first paragraph reveals a not so hidden motive; as noted elsewhere in the freedom movement, weapons to fight tyranny often are best found nearby in the hands of the local leo.s mass murderers are not who he is speaking to.
Tnerb – heard you and Lind on the Manifest Destiny podcast the other day in which you guys joked about bringing back public hangings to control crime in black neighborhoods. Trump has that similar dry deadpan wit like saying he wants to ban all Muslims or build a massive wall. Alex Jones has a few jokes like this too (he does some great bits on 9/11 and the Bush Family), as does Andrew Anglin and Hitler (who had great material when it came to the Jews).
People need to grow a sense of humor.
It’s either a parody of the common argument that active shooter situations could be stopped by armed citizens or it’s a commentary on how riddiculous an effective counter-terrorism policy would have to be in lieu of any discussion on immigration.
Yeah, but Lind doesn’t ACTUALLY say he’s against cops having RPGs as standard issue. In fact he’s spent 6 of the 8 paragraphs arguing for it… that’s like 75% of his post. He even says it in the first person: “I have argued for years that in many types of combat, the basic infantry weapon is no longer the rifle but the RPG.”
So if it IS parody; it’s fallen to “Poe’s law” (ie bad/broken parody); because unless Lind makes his intention clearer he’s made the post functionally indistinguishable from actually arguing for RPGs as a deterrent.
Which is some “death of the author” post modern shit – strange from a guy whose all against the ‘Cultural Marxism’.
If Lind was secretly into Post Modernism it would explain his phone interviews to Kaiser Wilhelm II – and his love of retro-futurism (Post Modernists love to screw around with alternate histories and taking characters out of context).
It’s like Trump you know; difficult to tell what’s an act, and what’s real.

I mean, he wrote “Victoria: A Novel of 4th Gen. War” so he has to be familiar with some “Lit. Crit.” stuff. It’s like Trump you know; difficult to tell what’s an act, and what’s real.
It’s the latter.

By the time this article on Nice got posted we already have had several more attacks in Europe. The Munich massacre is currently ongoing. Edit: 2 minutes later – and apparently it’s a Breivikian!!
I think he gives his comedy stylings away when he mentions that one “can kiss the cross.”
See, here’s a dude who picks up the fact that Lind’s essay must be parody by alleging “American” = “white, male.” Now, that, in a country made up of over 50% people who are not white or male is pretty funny
I know I shouldn’t engage such silliness, but I will point out that it’s no more constitutional for you to ban a political idea, as it is to ban a religious one. In fact, one can argue that it’s even more offensive to ban political ideas
By savages, you mean?
In fact, an honest broker of news would point out they are losing. Sometime this calendar year, they will lose Mosul. Their territory is shrinking daily. All they have is propaganda.
Well, I think, it’s because Muslims have been since the founding of the country and the last few “Muslim” terror attacks were by American citizens and one of those was a dude who hated gay people and claimed allegiance to ISIS and Islam after he started murdering gays. Not exactly a wave of “Muslim” killings here in America
There are a billion and a half Muslims in the world. There are millions in France, serving in the military and the police force. Exactly which ones are at war with you?
#idiot
Well, Lind is also a Christian; and that may be a nod to the desire or belief that a religious war is necessary stemming from a belief that the west is grounded in Christian traditions. After all, Lind is not just a Christian – but also a traditionalist.
Those “American citizens” have been 100% ethnic Arab/Pakistani/Pashtun from what I’ve seen. Not a white Anglo Saxon among them. But they were all “Muslim” (weird place to put quote marks).
But anyway, nice trolling – I count 8 posts!
“by alleging “American” = “white, male.””
The white females will be citizens, too. They just won’t be in the universal militia.
Idiot? Maybe. I’ve been that and worse. I did not seek the war, I did not want the war, and I did not declare the war. But ignorant I am not. “Exactly which ones are at war with you?” That, is the right question. Educate yourself.
So what’s the answer? Are you committed to jihad, Fred? You fighting a religious holy war? You have a list of names?
I like how you stay in character and the irony of your name, representing a citizen of an inclusive, multi-ethnic Republic (cept for Germans).
I wonder if any of these other reactionaries are getting the joke?
PS In your next post, to be even funnier, I would suggest the name of your militia be “slave patrol,” so we could connect it directly to the failed, cruel policies of the 19th century
When one finds something fascinating, one comments.
I will note that trolls deliberately derail the conversation and I am on topic. If you just mean “troll” as “non-reactionary person who disagrees with Simon’s jihad against Islam,” then I’ll wear it gladly
BTW, are you suggesting that the US kick out Muslims who are American citizens?
If so, your conception of what an American is pretty blinkered
He might want to mention it to Jewish folks and atheists….how wide will you fight your religious war?
When blacks build their own successful nation from scratch, then they can have their own universal militias, too.
How many more nations do they have to build, since they helped build this one?
You must really be afraid of the modern world.
Depends on if you consider Haiti and most of Sub-Saharan Africa as “built.”
Of course, white Europeans designed and built pretty much all the modern infrastructure which those countries have managed to hang onto.
You must be afraid of reality.
They built this one, you cracker goon. Their uncompensated labor built (and they were the capital) everything in the country from the Jersey south. Meanwhile, given your lack of knowledge of history, it’s not shocking I suppose you don’t know anything of African history. The idea that there is any significant genetic difference between Africans and white trash is what makes you white trash
Oh, and the civil war in Haiti destroyed the infrastructure and scared white folks in America refused to trade and allow others to trade with Haiti. Kinda hurts your export economy when racist Southern whites won’t let you trade.
