The Salmon Rushdie stabbing..
« on: August 16, 2022, 01:49:39 AM »
  I'm surprised that nobody has brought this up.  IOt looks like the over 3 decades old 'fatwah' issued by the Ayatollah Khomeni, is still effective.
   It seems the assaulter has been little spoken of, so who is the stabber?  Here's an article covering him.

  ...Now, for "the rest of the story".

   The Chautauqua Institution was apparently told to provide security..but according to some, failed to do so.
  It is alleged that they felt it unnecessary, since their gated community has been so "peaceful" since it's establishment, in 1874..
  One has to understand the "Chautauqua"!  I live about 60 miles from it, and often accompany my son on his real estate photography assignments there.  It is located on the western end of Lake Chautauqua.
  The auditorium where he was likely stabbed, is located at the foot of the bell tower, shown in the video.
 
  "The Chautauqua", is a haven for the super rich, where  they can associate with primarily, "their own kind".
 
  There are some very large baroque residences there, but since it  is a relatively old institution, many of it's
  older cottages, look like regular city homes from the turn of the last century, but impeccably maintained and decorated.
  Almost none selling for less than a million bucks...many for much more.

  At the Chautauqua, the super rich cavort together..sharing lectures, yoga, silly games and other  diversions of the "arts and croissants" crowd.  Here's a 3 min video of the place.

Nobody ever thinks it will happen to them. In this case their guest speaker was almost killed because of their failure to provide security.

School systems do it all the time, and sometimes kids pay the price.
Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. Weak men create hard times.
