What's your gut take on this?

My guess is that this shooter was a disgruntled wack job. The age and M.O. don't indicate terrorism to me. The El Al agent's death is tragic and senseless regardless.

I don't know that we can expect terrorists folk to fit profiles at this point. Certainly we ought to be AT LEAST hyper vigilent re those that do fit the profile but not lulled into blindness toward those who don't.

I felt it was terror connected from the beginning. None of the announcements have dissuaded me. Even IF the connection is "ONLY" ideological/sympathizer--THAT'S SUFFICIENT connection for me to throw the terrorist book at whomever had any connection with the dead terrorist at the airport toward supporting his attack.

El Al, after all, is not just any airline in today's world context. LAX, after all, is not just any small town airport. The 4th of July after 11 Sep, is not just any average day. Circumstantial is enough for me to circumsize the remaining cohorts of the gunman at the neck. . . vigorously. And I have a hard time killing animals for food.

I expected it to eventually come out that the guy looked mid-eastern. Glad it did so fast.

In short--YEAH, terror connected. That's enough. Book the lot of them (with any convincing supportive role vis a vis the gunman's actions at El Al) in at the nearest firing range as targets.
