I went to bed last night feeling sick...
The IED that went off in NY reminded me of other attacks I have heard. You set off a smaller device to lure in first responders only to detonate a much larger or several much larger devices. This maximizes the terror and casualties.
Why it scared me so much in Oklahoma? An attack like that would be used for political gain by assholes and linked to ISIS would make it worse in perception. They would shout refugees! It horrifies me to think we are a single attack away from losing because I have little faith in people seeing through the bullshit.
