What ISIS would do at a local high school would make Sandy Hook look like nothing.

Exactly. All those killed at Sandy were offed by one deranged kid with Asperger's. I shudder to imagine what a team of 10-15 ISIS terrorists could do. I'd be another Beslan.

OK, just to clarify, and as a parent of a kid with Asperger's, I need to point out that people with Asperger's are no more dangerous or deranged than any other person. From Wikipedia:

Lanza was diagnosed with a sensory-integration disorder when he started elementary school and was later diagnosed by a psychiatrist with Asperger syndrome when he was thirteen, according to his father, Peter Lanza. He also had obsessive-compulsive disorder. He was referred for treatment for his conditions in October 2006 and was prescribed behavioral-based therapy and Celexa, an antidepressant. Following objections from Nancy Lanza, the treatment was discontinued after four visits, and Lanza stopped taking the medication.[130] His father suspects that Lanza might have suffered from undiagnosed schizophrenia or psychopathy in addition to his other conditions. Peter Lanza said that family members might have missed signs of the onset of schizophrenia during his son's adolescence because they attributed his odd behavior and increasing isolation to Adam's Asperger syndrome.[127][131][132][133][134] Because of concerns that published accounts of Lanza's autism could result in a backlash against others with the condition, autism advocates campaigned to clarify that autism is a brain-related developmental disorder and not a mental illness.[135] The predatory aggression demonstrated by Lanza in the shooting is generally not seen in the autistic population.[136]
