[quote=joec][quote=cvmom]Seems to me that people coming in from outside the country are really not the primary issue–the issue is people who are disenfranchised, not part of the community, don’t really see a future for themselves, and who want to get back at all of those who are on the other side of that divide. Those unhappy people can really come from anywhere, including internally. As long as there are people who don’t have hope, this danger is going to continue.[/quote]
I agree completely.
This is why IMO, this can just as easily happen in the US. In 50 years, with less jobs for “regular” people without college degrees, single males with low economic prospects as well as no family/wife (to want to provide a safe/better world), etc…are loose cannons to cause harm against society, others in general.
People in ISIS or people who commit acts of terror already don’t care if they live or die as also shown by some of these recent acts. They sorta know they will be killed anyways so as mentioned before, if someone is willing to die anyways, good luck trying to stop any of these random acts.

Yep. I always say folks need hope. If they see no path to a better tomorrow, then they wont care what happens to them and bad things happen.
We will never get rid of tragedies because there will always be crazy folks, but we can minimize tragedies by giving everyone an opportunity for a better tomorrow. Student loans, work programs, giving people a hand when they are down, its all a part of that fabric of hope.
