Scouts Train to Fight Terrorists, and More

By JENNIFER STEINHAUER
IMPERIAL, Calif. — Ten minutes into arrant mayhem in this town near the Mexican border, and the gunman, a disgruntled Iraq war veteran, has already taken out two people, one slumped in his desk, the other covered in blood on the floor.

The responding officers — eight teenage boys and girls, the youngest 14 — face tripwire, a thin cloud of poisonous gas and loud shots — BAM! BAM! — fired from behind a flimsy wall. They move quickly, pellet guns drawn and masks affixed.

“United States Border Patrol! Put your hands up!” screams one in a voice cracking with adolescent determination as the suspect is subdued.

It is all quite a step up from the square knot.

This really is not funny.This idea of using Boy Scouts is part of Obamas scheme of raising a so called youth volunteer corps of young people that will be heavily indoctrinated.Putting it another way,we will have a modern version of the Hitler Jugend (HJ) Hitler Youth.The new Sturmabteilung,the SA Brownshirt thugs,wont be far behind.
