The New Terror Threat

[erpowers]

Does anyone else think the idea of making this kid who ran over several people at UNC a possible terrorist threat is just stupid? I think something is just wrong with this kid. I just do not like that they are making this into some possible new form of terror.

4. he seems like the kid who flew a small plane into a building

I think with millions of Muslims in America, there will be a small number of young men or boys who are searching for some dramatic statement, and they'll do something like this.

I consider it juvenile angst with a Muslim twist, but angst nonetheless, not ideology.

Do they also mean it as some kind of perverse payback for real or imagined mistreatment of Muslims? I think so.

I expect we will see one guy like this a year for some time.
