I heard that some man randomly slit another man's throat in a grocery store just recently, with a box cutter, no relationship between the two. They locked the store down, and caught the guy, who didn't leave the scene when he could have...

That type of event has always been in the back of my mind when I'm out and about. Everyone trusts everyone around them to be civil and rational and at any time any one of those people could snap and do something terrible. The amount of people blissfully unaware of their surroundings has always been strange to observe. Thats not to say you should always be on edge, thats probably unhealthy. But a small dose of awareness might help people a bit.

this isn't a muslim terrorist attack. No one even died (outside of the gunman) and only one target was the goal apparently.

He's from Somalia.



If you had to bet your life savings right now on whether this was a Muslim terrorist attack or not, with 1:1 odds, which would you choose? I would go with "yes" 100%

He likely is a muslim, however that doesnt make the crimes they commit automatically terrorism. The story is unfolding, but yeah, this doesnt at first appearance seem be a terrorist event.
