We cannot stop ISIS or any other group by giving them what they want, martyrdom, purpose, or there cause in the news.

I live 10 miles from the latest incident of "terrorism" and the sentiment locally from the beginning focused on terrorism, ISIS and Islamic Extremism etc etc.
This is none of that, it's murder.
Yes there may have been some half ass pledge of allegiance posted under an alias to ISIS and then deleted apparently, this means absolutely nothing - I am sure at some point Charles Manson pledged allegiance to America like every other murderer, thief, domestic abuser and rapist in this country, it's words - thats it.
Is it workplace violence? was it inspired by something on the internet, did they have bigger plans and tried to take advantage of a target of opportunity?
It doesn't matter.
These were two murderers, who attempted to legitimize what they are doing as part of some higher cause and are being immortalized as the first ISIS attackers on US soil and many other things - this is what they wanted, to be more than murderers.

I am all for disappearing our true enemies, not posting there scores in every headline across the world.
In the grand scheme of things this post doesn't matter perhaps, but maybe even a few people who love this country like I do will realize freedom is for the individual and so is the responsibility.
God bless freedom.
