Not to mention that a puny community college in Tennessee is highly improbable al-Qaeda choice for a target.

Indeed.

My best guess is an anti-war activist or something along those lines. Perhaps an American convert with some loose affiliations with al-Qaeda.

Does anyone know if this fellow is black or white? He could be either by that name.

In any case, he's not regular al-Qaeda. If he was, he'd have just shot everyone or blown everyone up. This is sloppy.
