2. Appears to be a lone wolf.....

attacking a group that currently represents the terrorizing of certain groups of Americans. Seems you can make the argument with both sides of this mini war.

Unfortunately, the arming of citizens has left us with thousands of lone wolfs, each with their own cause. In the end I think the argument can be made that the fear stoked in Americans by the NRA, leading to the mass arming of civilians, has created an environment of fear.

3. "The gunman said he was going to blow up police"

The gunman said he was going to blow up police because they “took his child and accused him of being a terrorist,” Brown said.

But in 2013, police in Paris, Texas, said they arrested James Lance Boulware after he obtained firearms, ammunition and body armor before threatening to attack his family, as well as churches and schools.

Police said then that he was taken into custody on two felony warrants from Dallas County. However, it appears the case against him was dismissed last year after he fulfilled requirements a judge had imposed.

4. Was he still alive?

once they apprehended him? Not shot dead in a hail of bullets unloaded into that van from dozens of police?

Then no, what he did was not "terrorism".

5. This one was a domestic situation -

and the police sniper took him out. Anyone who drives up and shoots at a police car will get the same treatment. No doubt in my mind about that.

I am still shaking my head over that pool party the other day though.

11. Early this morning I was told this was done by a group of black men who were angry at the police.

I have no clue where they were getting their info from, but it's what they had heard someplace I guess. I mentioned to the person this afternoon they have a tentative ID on the person and it was one middle aged white guy who was angry at the police. Not a peep back.

If it doesn't fit into a specific ideology, it's not an real issue for some people.
