If it bleeds it leads. Remember when the evening news was the Vietnam War?

Don, Bob, I hope that you are right.
Hi Chris, I fear that there will be some of these random attacks like in England last year but the real test will be is not to freak out and over react to them.
We are much more likely to break our necks in the shower or step off of a curb and get run over by a bus, statistically.

Hysteria is always a bad advisor. However sometimes I ask myself if ISIS sympathizers could be PC lurkers.

The consequences of a domestic beheading are terrible to ponder.

Rantings, ravings, and ratings through the roof.

As well armed as our general public is... We might be last on their list of places to go.

One thing a public beheading here would do is give a big boost to the 'let's all carry guns' movement.

It would also get some number of mosques and convenience stores burned....

All in all - we are more or less talking about a snowball principle.

This does not worry me because - and do not consider me naive - but what the good is will be victorous!

This is America. We have an old saying here; "Nice guys finish last.".

Make of that what you will.
