    Yes, LisaRose is correct. I just checked the White House Live website and there was a Tweet on their about it being tomorrow night re: terrorist threat.

    The media is reporting there is no known link between the shooters and a larger terrorism cell.

    "This is not the time for islamophobia. Islam is a peaceful & happy religion and muslim Americans must enjoy the same freedom to practice their religion as all Americans. Hate & discrimination will not be tolerated."

    how much you wanna bet? Then some more bullshit on "diplomacy" and "we need better ways" of dealing with this. More John kerry/hillary clinton bullshit. And then the inevitable: "we must realize that this was another american citizen who purchased these deadly assault weapons legally."

    Some crazy "see something/say something (but don't profile based on race or religion)" BS.

    guilt & blame, guilt & blame; America = bad, terrorists = bad (but hey, we may deserve it), and finally, Americans should be able to defend themselves, but not in a deadly way. Hide in place! That seems to work splendidly. Let our mentally stable police forces handle it.

    I don't know what's worse: liberal BS or the "buy plastic & duct tape!!!" fear mongering from neocons.

    I watched that DISC/NatGeo/Animal Planet program about extinction the other night & I gotta tell ya, none of this matters anyway. Talk about guilt trip--a much deserved one! The Anthropocene Extinction is underway right now due to our collective greed, jealousy, xenophobia, exploitation and outright raping of our entire planet. Good job, human race. Good job. We deserve what's coming IMHO, not from terrorists or politicians, but from Mother Nature. Her response will ultimately solve the problem (us) & bring this planet back into balance.

    Calm down. The population is large and diverse enough. Remember "survival of the fittest". In the coming years humanity is just going to be refined to live in a gradually changing environment. And contrary to what you believe, humanity is not that stupid or evil. It's only stupid enough to make mistakes, but smart enough to correct them. No need to bring your WT mentality. Just work with one human at the time to educate them into stopping and possibly even reversing the damage. Plenty of people, including those "evil" politicians are working on that already. Go back to kingdom halls meetings. They need your voice there.

    No edit option?

    OK, my previous comment was a response to DarioK's last paragraph

    The media is reporting there is no known link between the shooters and a larger terrorism cell.

    This is totally incorrect IMO based on what we know:

    They destroyed cell phones and hard drives so definitely wanted to hide something.

    They didn't want to hide the fact that this was inspired by Daesh

    The logical conclusion is that they wanted to hide someone else's involvement or complicit actions - either contacts, other cells, family involvement or whatever.

    I would be surprised if Obama announced anything to-do with Gun control. Heck, they had a vote in the senate on the day after this mass shooting / terrorist attack and they still want terrorists on the no-fly list to have the right to buy them (American leaders - dumb beyond belief).

    He also isn't going to announce that they are going to bomb ISIS because ... aren't they already doing that?

    So IMO it's either US boots on the ground or a coalition of foreign boots on the ground with limited / specialist US support.

    IMO they should make membership of and contact with ISIS a crime in itself. That way they don't have to do this endless following and monitoring of people. If someone is a sympathizer then kick their door in before they act out their insanity and put hard consequences on their choices rather than always being on the back foot and needing to react.
