This is the first time I've ever heard about it. It's certainly not making national news.

If it weren't for Ebola it would be the first item on the news. People are too busy watching reruns of "Outbreak"

I heard about the attacker's background only because my friends in the NYPD told me and also directed me to his Facebook page.

Seriously, how did this guy's Facebook page get past the FBI, NSA, etc? HELLLOOOO is anyone home in the J Edgar Hoover Building?

^ maybe because he did not fit the description of a "terrorist", so how
are you going to blame the government for this random attack?

how could they have predicted it?


I'm all ears.

How can anyone predict a Muslim terrorist who attacks with a hatchet?

Dude, the guy announced to the world on his Facebook page that he was a jihadist. There's no doubt about what this was ... except to the feelgooders and "progressives" who have their heads stuck up their rear ends.

By monitoring social media for postings by Islamists saying, "I'm going to go out and kill people in the name of Jihad!" By infiltrating mosques, and listening for people saying, "We need to encourage our young men to go off to engage in violent Jihad in Iraq, Syria, Somalia, Nigeria, Afghanistan." By then monitoring and arresting these people before they kill.

But no, the police unit engaging in monitoring the Muslim community for these violent jihadis has been disbanded. Apparently, it's prejudicial to think that, if most violent terror attacks are commited by Muslim jihadists, members of the Muslim community, recruited and encouraged by other Muslim jihadists, often in mosques where Muslim jihadists gather, we should be monitoring mosques and other Muslim institutions. After all, just because someone posts photos of himself on social media attired as a Muslim jihadist brandishing a weapon, with jihadists slogans glorifying the killing of non-Muslims, doesn't mean he's at any higher risk of committing a terrorist attack than is your average citizen.

Political Correctness is the downfall of our country. It is an intentional plan straight out of the progressive (read: communist) playbook.
