Terror Alert?

"And this attack was smooth. Planned. Deliberate. Again, all the earmarks of Islamic Terrorist."

Earlier in the week, we had as Islamic terrorist attack in Israel. Some innocent Israelis were killed. Why? Just for the hell of it. Now it seems last night we had a person who was heavily armed, wearing a suicide vest, shoot up a gay bar in Florida. And ISIL was quick to cheer the attack and say there would be more coming.

This morning the FBI and local police are trying to sift through the pieces. It is truly like the fog of war right now. Since it happened late at night, the crime scene is still active. Hospitals are on lock down in case there is a follow on attack. Was this an act of terror? It is unknown at this time, but the markers are sure there.

At first glance, 20 were dead. Now the number is up to 50. There are another fifty some in local hospitals - some with head wounds. The officials on the scene who have seen the wounded expect the number of dead to go up. And this attack was smooth. Planned. Deliberate. Again, all the earmarks of Islamic Terrorist.

One of the pundits on the news this morning (who is a Scoop Jackson Democrat) said there are some who are ready to pin this attack on a "workplace violence" type excuse. And of course, the gun grabbers will be out in force. Here is the irony for the gun grabbers. The Pulse, the nightclub which was attacked, is a gun free zone. In fact, customers are searched and patted down upon entrance. That is, unless you come in right before closing. And that is exactly what the terrorist did.

So from 2 am until 5 am, the killing continued. The terrorist had an AR-15 and a hand gun. He was able to reload many times. And because the club is gun free, the four hundred or so people inside were sitting ducks. Not a gun inside to protect people with. And the police were told to take cover, as nobody knew how extensive the threat was. It is a miracle the death toll was not higher.

Bottom line - welcome to the world of soft targets. The Islamic Terrorist are now here. Helpless civilians, just enjoying the day (or evening), were slaughtered. Much of this is because people in our Administration cannot force themselves to say "Islamic Terrorism". They have stuck their heads in the sand while the enemy has gone from being at the gate, to inside the gate. 

Hang on folks. This sad book of terror might have just entered a new chapter. Keep your eyes open, your antennas up, and your gun close by.
