Terrorism In US....Here We Go Again

Looks like he may have slipped through the cracks. Or maybe they forgot about him. Or maybe didn't think anything of it since he was only six when he came over here.
It'll be hard to tell until the investigation is done, assuming we civies get any details.

Between his background and the timing, I can see why there is an assumption that this is potentially ISIS related.
But from what little I've read, it appears unclear what the motive is right now, right?

I'm content to give time for a full picture to emerge. Maybe it's because I'm feeling run over by a Mack truck right now. On second thought no, I'm just content to wait.

IT is best to wait. Speculation without evidence is useless and leads to such idiocies like conspiracy theories. In fact, I wish the press would STFU and report on the facts they find instead of trying to amuse us with live coverage, baseless assumptions and tantalizing speculations.

Whilst I agree with you, I am pretty sure your post rules you out of ever managing a 24 hour cable news station.

I mean: if some-one get crazy mind , he will did bad things.

I always heard in news about USA shooting (in schools ,universities , roads ...etc) , this one called "terrorism" because the criminal was a Muslim.

And as we get more & more Muslims here, there's a greater & greater chance one will go violently cracy....just like the rest of us.
"Terrorism" will be more likely to be applied to Muslims because of 9/11.
(Of course, I don't forget our famous Xian terrorist, Timothy McVeigh.)
I expect we'll get past that some day.

The news story I just heard did not mention anything about terrorism. It is looking more and more like he was just crazy. They have checked his cell phone and computer and so far no sign of terrorist affiliated groups.
He might well have been just whacked out on drugs and believed that the government was out to get him.

It also seems important to point out something else. For various reasons, the word "terrorist" gets used a lot here in the USA. Even when there is no connection to anything political at all.

I wondered about using the word "terrorism" too.
This case seemed a lone wolf (crazy) attack, but a likely candidate because of where he attacked.
