That's cool. I can't imagine how that must feel after losing so much and so much turmoil. It must have been a few hours of normalcy and we all know how cycling kind of helps you work thru stress and all those mental/emotional things.

Very cool

Refugees....
How does anyone know what they are and where they are from?

Until that whole Isis plot comes together and they start beheading guys using 10s master links on 11s chains...

Well, nobody knows. Unfortunately, there are probably some ISIL members embedded in the multi hundred thousand+ 'refugees'. We'll see how this shakes out. Ain't gonna be pretty.

Agreed. Too many well fed men in their mid 20's. And the timing is very suspicious.

When my father came here legally, he was a thin as a rail, my Grandmother had to "fatten him up for a year" before they would let him and my family in.

That is what the asylum application review process, whatever its flaws and shortcomings, is for.

They do actually deny and deport people.

There may....may...be some nebulous ISIS threat. So let's fret over that and not the greatest human displacement and migration since WWII.

Sigh...

FBI admits no way to vet the Syrians:

"US has accepted more than 500 Syrian refugees and plans to admit thousands more | Daily Mail Online

'It's clearly a population of concern,' National Counterterrorism Center director Nicholas Rasmussen told the Committee in February...

'You are talking about a country that is a failed state, that does not have any infrastructure so to speak.'

'So all the data sets, the police, the intel services, that you would normally go to and seek that information, don稚 exist.'"

What alternative would you recommend?

Yes, by some logic, when the next hurricane comes,
let's only evacuate the skinny people. #facepalm.
For anyone who wants to know more about the demographics
of those displaced (the ones registered by UN) have been counted.
The 'mainly young men' story doesn't seem to be supported by data.

There is a very strange assumption that those displaced by a war
are poor or dangerous because they are 'refugees'. I guess that
says a lot about some people's mental picture of why people get
forced into fleeing.

I'd imagine that really almost every middle class North American
would find them selves in the same situation if your home town was
bombed to pieces, and everyone in the community who could get
out were trying to do the same. This has been going on for years
to get to the point today where desperation reaches new lows.
Those of us in safety should have more freaking compassion.
