Is This Protected Free Speech or Criminal Call For Violence?

 

This is way specific and likely to spur actual violence against a specific person.

A Tale of Two Californian Femme Fatales

Barbara Stanwyck in Double Indemnity

They don't make Californian Femme Fatales like they used to (they don't seduce some scumbag, conspire to kill a spouse, and try to defraud an insurance company, they go slaughter unarmed people at a Christmas party)...

Tashfeen Malik, that is not her real name and State Department vetting of her was poor

Conservative Treehouse: Enough!! Just who the hell was "Tashfeen Malik"

Twitchy: Her address in Pakistan she gave to the State Department does not exist and she may have attended one of the most radical mosques in Pakistan

EBL: How did the media get into the Terrorists' apartment?, Farook and wife pledged allegiance to ISIS, What the left really means about "reasonable" gun control, What motivated the shooters in San Bernardino, and Terror in San Bernardino

Legal Insurrection: The latest from San Bernardino

Lem Levity: Attorney General's response to Muslim terror is to prosecute those who speak out about Muslim terror and Trooper York focuses on important topics like this and that

Instapundit: Why so few mentions of the woman terrorist, Don Surber notes that Chuck Todd had a bad day, and those Syrian refugees are a lot like Tashfeen Malik!

American Power Blog: Tashfeen Malik committed fraud to get a visa? 

Protein Wisdom: Bomb factory in garage and what was Tashfeen's roll?

AoSHQ: Vigorous Vetting, Why Colorado and California shooting are not alike and...

Wut?What intense backlash? Was it as intense as what happened in San Bernardino? Or Chattanooga? After Paris and California attacks, U.S. muslims feel intense backlash. I guess the backlash was so intense (any examples that rise to the level of eleventy intense?) that AG Lynch has threatened to prosecute hateful rhetoric that "edges towards violence". I would hope that if the DoJ is going to violate our 1st Amendment rights that AG Lynch would at least hold Imams to the same standard.

The mosque's current Imam, Shaker Elsayed, has said in the past that the killing of a Jewish man was justified because he "adopted a position against all Arabs and Muslims." Elsayed has also defended a member of Palestinian Islamic Jihad, saying that the FBI was involved in a "war on Muslim institutions." In 2013, he called for armed jihad against the United States.

Rule 5 and FMJRA

Marine Lt. Col. Kate Germano is a hero...

And of course, she got fired for it...welcome to a fundamentally transformed America.  

h/t AoSHQ on both stories: here and here

Sacked for improving standards.

Tough love in the Marine Corps (a/k/a training) is about saving lives when actual combat happens. Coddling women in training does not help them, it puts them and their fellow Marines in danger.  Lt. Col. Germano obviously got that.  The current USMC upper-leadership, following our Commander In Chief, obviously do not get it.  

She is out of uniform here, back in 2008, but for a good cause...

Should women be allowed in combat?

AL TAQADDUM, IRAQ (16 June 2005) — LCpl's Rebecca and Michael Nance, 20 and 21-year olds respectively, reunited here recently. So far from home, yet so close together. Rebecca, a mechanic attached to Combat Logistics Regiment 25, and Michael, with Marine Wing Support Group 27 in Al Asad, Iraq, are siblings from Moline, Illinois. Michael is serving his second deployment, while his sister is in the middle of her first. Michael joined the Marine Corps in 2002 and Rebecca joined the Marine Corps reserve in 2003.

I initially just reported on this with no comment.  Many people I agree with generally, including Stacy McCain, Roxeanne DeLuca, Bob Belvedere, and Allen West say no.  They make good points, although I do not completely agree with them on this issue.
Update:  This is the most persuasive argument against women in combat...

MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP PENDLETON, CALIFORNIA (19 May 2005) — Cpl. Steinunn Truesdale, a native of Reykjavík, Iceland, displays her Purple Heart Medal she received for injuries sustained in an anti-tank mine blast during a vehicle convoy operation in Al Anbar province, Iraq 2004.

Marco Rubio notes women are already in combat.  While I think Panetta is making this decision for political than practical reasons, I have also noted that the old phrase "Every Marine is a rifleman" recognizes that anyone in service can end up on the front lines (and have to be prepared for that).  We have many women in service, so we need to recognize they can and do end up in combat anyway.

Update:  
Rick Peters notes women are already in harms way. 
Jazz Shaw Has A different Take Than Peters
Countries that allow women in combat roles.  

I would caution watching this closely.  Women can now volunteer for combat.  Will the military do this in a PC manner than puts both women and men involved in harms way?  I sure hope not, but those fears are legitimate.  While there are a few individual exceptions, Women and men are not physically equal.  A fair and objective physical fitness test could be employed to ensure a woman serving does not endanger her male comrades do to strength issues.   Obviously women on the front lines and in combat raises the risk of rape and capture, but that risk remains regardless and is never fully eliminated.

U.S. Military approves women in combat roles
