Here we go again. You seem to think that there will be an Islamic terrorist shooting up a movie theater somewhere in the US tomorrow night.

How am I going to be at every theater at that precise time?

The difference between them and you is that you are convinced an attack will happen tomorrow night.

I said, "Most likely."

If you truly believe that, and you are a man of your words, it makes sense that you would want to do everything in your power to stop it.

You answered that yourself in your last paragraph on your post. There will be LEO presence available.

Here's the good news: The police are also aware of the potential for an attack. And ISIS knows this. Thus they will move on to an easier target at a later date

And, you know this how?

and you won't need to feel like a coward for wondering if you could have saved lives if you had acted on your feelings.

Where is all of this hostility coming from? When did I call you names? Where did I insult you?
I explained quite clearly at post #125 why I don't go to theaters.

And, you know this how??

Other than the World Trade Center, 18 years later (and, I suppose the Boston Marathon), please tell me the last time terrorists hit a target that had to do with a significant moment in our culture. The only one that comes to mind was the failed attempt in Garland Texas, where cops were waiting for them.

There is a reason why they choose moments and targets that are somewhat unexpected, especially when it comes to ISIS: These attacks are a major part of their recruiting strategy. Trying and failing is a loss for them. So, is it possible that some dopey lone wolf will try? Of course. In 2015, every time you get on an airplane, your life is riding on the diligence of a minimum wage baggage handler. But there are much easier than the premier of the most anticipated movie in a generation, and ISIS will wait for them.
