I hope he can see this, because I am doing it as hard as I can.

To be fair this did happen 10 days after the October 7 attacks where paragliders attacked small villages

Maybe, but I think there's something much more insidious going on here than a random person with weird delusions. I think this is a symptom of the panic narrative that's being boosted all over the world by far-right parties and candidates, social media, and incompetent - or at least misguided - news networks.
If you keep hearing about how the big evil is all around you - it's your neighbors that looks different, your colleagues with a weird accent - and that that evil is coming to get you sooner rather than later, then when you see something that looks different than usual, what are you gonna think it is? The big evil you've been hearing so much about, of course.
This time, it's some old lady thinking paragliders are Hamas, but many times it's some other people saying "the gays" are trying to spread communism and infect the children.
This was my takeaway. Shes so spun up with fear she sees on TV she thought it possible it could show up at her door.

Did any of them have those dumb little, loud ass engines attached? Because, if so, I understand a little more.

Do you know what else terrorists use all over the world? Cars! How long will we allow these dangerous contraptions to be freely available?
Cars have legit gotten somewhat popular as a rampage weapon in Europe. I think knives are still number one but there's a trend for sure.

Those poor mass murderers just couldn't get their hands on a gun. So unfair!

How deep do you need to be in the propaganda to think like that?

Oh yeah, hamas is very well known for their incredible Airforce and paramilitary units and operations

Ahh that's right. Chickens not eggs.
That depends on which came first

Well classical lobbying then.

It would take about 10 days to fly from Israel to Doncaster in a paraglider, but it would be surprising if no-one noticed along the way.

No way you have thermals all the way. Basically an impossible flight. Plus night stops and shit.

I don’t think so. The other article literally just mentions this person lives near a paraglider school. I’m assuming beginners don’t fiddle round with paramotors.

Gotcha. I was just somewhere and didn't realize those things existed until I heard one. It's like the inventor of gas powered leaf blowers just wanted to ruin some more people's days.

Britain might be better off banning American TV for a bit

There are some electric ones but yeah the gas ones are an absolute horror.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]I lot of people are like this. They don't conceive a world outside their own. When I was in grade school, so many people in my hometown thought that... we were going to be the next Columbine (not like there were any kids actively acting odd, just the feeling that we were somehow important enough to have such a tragedy). They also thought several big companies were going to open up shop (like Best Buy, Red Lobster, etc... it was the 90s). Currently, some people still live there who think they have the highest number of Somalians living there (they don't), the largest amount of Muslims (they don't), and they're like the drug central for the state (they're not). It's a small town filled with people who don't really travel more then a few hours any direction and so they really don't have a concept of what's outside their world. The town of 20,000 must represent ALL 8+ billion people. If something bad is happening somewhere, then it MUST be happening really close to them. I had someone message me about how the Chinese were basically getting ready to invade them (so many texts about that). Oh, and after 9/11, so many people legit though that small town no one knows exists, was definitely going to be targeted next by middle-eastern terrorists...
