if this is a new ME terrorists MO, they will start doing it everywhere in America

While this may well not be the work of terrorists (although I don't know what to think either way), the recently discovered video over there seems to indicate that this type of domestic terror is on their future list. So, realistically, even if this isn't it, I think, unfortunately, that your children and mine may well have "personal, resident" terror with which to deal.

You're probably right, unfortunately!

I originally thought this was probably ME terrorists, but now I think it's probably a nutcase. However, if nothing else, it has certainly given us a taste of what it would be like if ME terrorists start doing here what they do elsewhere, and hopefully, has given the police and authorities a better idea of how to respond.

One of the impressive things, I think, is that the people in the sniper region do not seem to be hiding in the cellar. They're being careful but tough and strong, from what I can see of the area in news reports (although the press makes it sound as if people are all hiding away and wringing their hands).
