This story is developing. Please check back for further updates

Department of Homeland Security is beefing up protection at federal buildings in Washington, D.C., and in other areas across the country, Secretary Jeh Johnson said Tuesday.

Although he did not cite any specific threats to individual government buildings, Johnson said, "the reasons for this action are self-evident: the continued public calls by terrorist organizations for attacks on the homeland and elsewhere, including against law enforcement and other government officials, and the acts of violence targeted at government personnel and installations in Canada and elsewhere recently."

He should have added “and considering how bad we’re screwing over regular Americans we see a little risk out there.” They might want to double up on whatever they’ve been doing around IRS facilities. At least a few folks just don’t have a sense of humor.

More added to CNBC.com

“The DHS also encouraged state and local governments to be “equally vigilant, particularly in guarding against potential small-scale attacks by a lone offender or a small group of individuals.”

But...but....but, Islam is a religion of peace, therefore these attacks cannot take place! Oh, wait a second, I forgot, these aren't terrorist attacks, these are simply workplace violence incidents. Whew, for a second I thought we were in danger of some sort. FUBO & your entire democRAT bunch of traitors!

Pigs wrapped in blankets taste good. As an added bonus, they keep muslims away.

What great timing. Create an atmosphere of fear just before the election.

And the media will report it as “Obama keeping America safe”

Keep the people in fear ping...

That would be my guess... Radical Muslims would more than likely target shopping malls. I suspect this is political.

There’s no terrorism here. Just a few unhappy, angry muslim employees who get a little carried away with lopping off heads during their lunch break.

Heard from a reliable source relay second-hand that families with relatives in back in Syria are being told to stay out of major cities because a major ISIS or Khorisan attack was given a go signal sometime in the next few days.

Obola is getting ready to do something so outrageous and infuriating that what has been over due for so long is expected to happen. I think they have marveled that the sheeple have been so submissive for so long already.

Well, you idiots protect your buildings. We’ll just sit out here and await the eventual workplace violence and such...

Morons.
