This sort of thing is probably going to start happening a lot. Sad and a little concerning.... What's more concerning, is that people are oblivious oxen, and even after attacks on the scale of 9/11 and the USS Cole, they don't recognize that the War On Terror is a literal WAR and that the battlefield is worldwide, including on American soil.

I'm not sure that this kind of lone nut really qualifies as being part of the War on Terror(tm). Presumably with a name like Shareef he's a muslim (although Derrick does sound a little non-Arab to my uncultured ears), and so there's a good chance he's outraged over something related to Iraq/Israel/Palestine or whatever.

I think we need to separate this kind of situation and avoid getting too panicky, since it may actually have more in common with the unabomber or Tim McVeigh than with AQ.
What do you mean "we", have you got a mouse in your pocket?

This sort of thing scares the crap out of me because i work in the largest shopping complex in the whole of the UK and if terrorists wanted to hit the UK bad, this is the kindof place they would target...

Just another isolated incident. Nothing to see here, keep it moving... :rolleyes2:

Finally
Back in late 2001, when the DC sniper attacks were occuring, I commented to a co-worker that if one really wanted to terrorize, he should do what's happening in DC. Imaging going to a mall, Home Depot or whatever, and the person standing next to you gets shot. Those two maniacs practically shut down an entire city. Spectacular? No. Effective? Very.

You know the show 24?

This season some parts of it are about a terrorist plot to start car bombing cities.

I am honestly surprised this hasn't happened yet. But I dont think the peace here will last long. Especially with the dems now in power! Hi-oh! Haha...just kidding, libs. ;)

Happened only a couple miles from my house too.

Kinda weird to see people zig-zag-walking to their cars.
