A little over a week before the poorly vetted shooters in San Bernardino killed fourteen I pointed out that Obama's big mouth regarding "all is OK with nothing to fear security speech" amounted to a terrorist challenge and that I felt something was coming and it did.

I have another bit of common sense hit me about a major bunch of possible terror targets coming up.
Star Wars will have a ton of people, press and the eyes of the world on it. It is very Americana with packed groupings of easy targets that would impact Americans and the world.
I know of no exact threat, but logically with tons of people, press and camping out I think this has too much potential to go to IMO.

Theaters full to capacity would not be great places IMO to hang out in right now.
Be safe, think safe.

Keep everyone thinking, this is a different world than when Star Wars came out the first time.

You have to admit these packed theaters doing world record business would make the easiest targets to hit. Low effort, big impact.
The San Bernardino shooters had schools and other potential targets on their computers.

If they hit about...hmmm Holiday time, so the DUI death statistics a little skewed. I think normally its 28 a day, but holidays can hit up to 150 ish.

The aurora shooting killed 12. Dark knight was a big deal, lets say better planning and bigger crowds gets it 20% higher, ie 15.

So if they hit 10 theaters all simultaneously they will manage to kill as many as drunk drivers during a single day in the holidays.

On the other hand I suspect good planning could get the number far higher then 15. Lets call it 45. So 3 theaters.

I'm not too worried about it. Yeah it will suck, yeah I feel for the families. And guess what? I will go see the movie the next day for a second time. You don't fight terror by being scared.

Let's hope we don't find out, they could use bombs not just knives or guns.

And? They still wont get up to a bigger threat to me then my fellow citizens driving drunk.

Spreading the fear does the work of the terrorists for them. I really dont understand why people dont comprehend this. Stop helping them. Be rational.

Hey now...DUI is pretty serious, tens of thousands of Americans die from it every year. While I am not really scared of DUI, I think its a valid concern!

Not enough people in one spot. I am very surprised these nuts have not attacked a major sports event (football) or a crowded subway, both of which present large masses of people with minimal escape routes. Further, fans are conveniently disarmed at sporting events, insuring lack of a viable means of retaliation.

Liberals would probably be okay with such attacks, as it would not reach thier "magic number" of needing at least 1 million citizens dead until they begin to recognize Islam as a threat. 2,616 dead was not quite enough for them. It will probably take a dirty bomb or an actual nuclear detonation device to wake up liberals.

Where will the next attacks occur? You can bet they will be in a densely populated part of the nation, which tend to be liberal strongholds. Ironic, huh?

Could you imagine a crowd of thousands of RWNJs, all shooting in self defense at one time?
