Another hero of the attack, Alek Skarlatos, was registered at Umpqua Community College:

"Skarlatos may have averted tragedy himself in recent days. He is participating in the TV show "Dancing With The Stars" and other activities that he said kept him from enrolling at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Ore., this fall. Last week 10 people died at the school in a shooting rampage.

"I would have been there today," he said on the "The Ellen DeGeneres Show." "I had classes picked out and everything."

So far, it doesn’t seem like a jihadi revenge attack. But I haven’t seen much in the way of facts.

The men were screaming “allah ackbar” and “death to America”.

So far, no motive has been given for the attack but it’s suspected that there is a link to the local Tea Party.

21st and K is generally a nice area. Small theaters, one-off restaurants with outside dining, coffee shops etc. There’s a Spaghetti Factory near there, family friendly.

After midnight, it’s a different world.

Terrorists do not like failures.

The Islamist publication of addresses of our military and the call to kill them.. now this attack.. and possibly related:

[Alek] Skarlatos may have averted tragedy himself in recent days. He is participating in the TV show "Dancing With The Stars" and other activities that he said kept him from enrolling at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Ore.

Even if there's not an Islamist connection to two of the three heroes nevertheless I wonder why..

Millions of Turks have denounced Islamism and Sharia Law.. why can't Muslims living here do it? "Turkey has acquired in eighty plus years of independence and Westernization thanks to Mustafa Kemal Atatürk"

If there is a connection or Islamist attacks continue to occur here and American Muslims won't act to expose and expel the Islamists and Sharia Law advocates then what other choice is there?

Borrowing from an old U.S. Supreme Court case involving independent tribes of Native Americans.. (no insult to Native Americans intended) I suggest this.

Sharia Camps, until the Islamists can be kicked out of America.

are not, strictly speaking, foreign States, but are alien nations, that the alien and dependent condition of the members of one of those camps
could not be put off at their own will without the action or assent of the United States, and that they were never deemed citizens and therefore
that "Islamists born within the territorial limits of the United States, members of, and owing immediate allegiance to, one of the Sharia Camps although in a geographical sense born in the United States,
are no more 'born in the United States' than the children of subjects of any foreign government born within the domain of that government.

If he pulls through this, he needs to move/be based at a CCW state and stay away from nightclubs.

Best advice I gave to my soldiers is to enlist early, get married, have kids, stay out of trouble, get right with God, do your 20 years, and “retire” at the VERY young age of 37-39.
