Think, please. This is a horrible situation but there are people who really want to bring Americans into such a climate of fear, that Americans cease to function. I am reminiscent of the Olympic Bombings and Eric Rudolph. It is a story but there have been similiar stories.
They are horrid but we must rise above the fear. I suspect with no particuliar reason that this is someone or several someones wanting 15 minutes plus of fame with a grudge. There are way too many nuts out there from extremist hate groups to mental lone wolf cases. I am a member of the SPLC like many of you and hate groups are not just in the south. Hate groups and people off balance can be anywhere at any time.
Turn off your TV and hug your family. I won't suggest you go shopping but I do suggest you do not disrupt your lives paralyzed with fear.
Please let us keep our thoughts with the problems of hatred and send sympathies and comfort to the families and friends affected by this tragedy.
This does not even smell of organized professional terrorism but that is just my opinion. The two bombs that did not explode, the middle of the street, all of this just does not compute on a massive terror scale, IMO.
