How to Deal with Terrorists When 369 Youngsters So Easily Overwhelms The Police

[GoldenDragon]

Are our authorities competent enough to handle the threat of REAL terrorism when a bunch of untrained youngsters quite easily overwhelm the police?

These are youngsters, without any organisational structure to indoctrinate, train and guide them. In terms of capabilities in launching an attack and remaining out of the reach of the police, I am sure the terrorists are miles ahead of those kids arrested and to be arrested.

Looks like when the REAL attack comes, our competent authorities will be totally exposed. A small case like MSK already led to the mother of all screw-ups. If there are lives lost and properties severly damaged, looks like no hope for the populace.

It's time to cling to your religion or to find one to prepare for the future. Lots of questions will be asked. We need religion to guide, console, comfort and reassure us.

Maybe because they are only teens, the Police did not open fire.

When it comes to real terrorists, Police will open fire.

But if Police cabut, people should all immigrate.

The gang arrests number about 30 at last count since Downtown East and Bukit Panjang. Still not competent enough? It's the parents' and schools' faults that there're so many gangsters around. The police isn't incharge of upbringing and education. If the police is, then we'll worry more about police state than gangsterism.

We actually have a really contriditing problem.

on one hand, we have idiots who complain that the PAP goverment iss too strrict, no freedom and too much police watching over people.

on another hand, we have people heere who want the police to watch over people tightly and putting down the freedom of others.

Its ironic.

Mr Ramseth, my question has nothing to do with education and upbringing and who is at fault for gangsterism. I am asking if our police is competent enough to deal with terror threats and incidents. I am not optismistic our police is up to the mark coz dealing with wayward youths already leading to many of them buying panadols.

Terror threats are socio-political problems, not police problems too. Police can deter, investigate, arrest, whatever, these are still technocratic law enforcement tasks. The root of terrorism has to be addressed at socio-political levels. Otherwise, it's the same as what I said about gangsterism. No responsibility without power. Let the police watch over all of us with CCTVs and phonetaps and let's live in a police state, safe from gangsterism and terrorism.

Sure, terror threats may be socio-political problems. I am no longer referring to threats but a successful strike in S'pore. When they strike, there is no other agency to deal with them. We don't have a socio-political agency to handle the terrorists! The police and intel agencies must respond. Will they succeed?

I am not keen on root cause of terrorism etc. Neither am I bothered who police watch over (members of public or suspect terrorist) or the upbringing and education issue.

Once again, I am merely asking, can our police and intel agencies handle the real terrorists after they have struck us in S'pore? Your learned comments, please. Can they? Can't they?

it's one thing to clean up mess; it's another to prevent shit from hitting the fan. what happened to keeping gangs in dormancy and preventing them from flourishing? and what happened to the once touted super all seeing eyes and all hearing ears of thd spf? trust and confidence in spf is gone! kaput. poof. acting tough after a terror attack instead of preventing one is totally opposite of an effective spf.

So are hooliganism, it is also a social-political problem, you have to blame the 'chicken' who laid that 'egg' who produce another 'chicken' wihich laid many more 'eggs''...

I have personal experience with the school system on hooliganism, & at that time it was a growing menace, they have the school in cooperation with the police force, but that was not enough. What is happening today is what we call the 'dead body' now rises to the surface.

You are right to say, it is the schools, the parents but this is also political for they wanted a political party that, was the 'chicken' that laid that 'EGG'.

Now, we are paying the price!, more to come!!

Problem is that these are not gangsters but gangster wannabes. No organisation, no structure. Nothing to infiltrate, no leader to invite for kopi. The gangs just occur randomly, form and break and reform also randomly.

Much more difficult to handle than a secret society or a terrorist cell.

Is 369 a registered legal society? If yes, why allowed in the first place.
