An hour ago news broke that an American ISIS member was killed in Syria. At that

moment, I thought "This will be used to stoke fear that an attack can come from such an American boarding a plane and coming home to sow chaos and destruction." My musing was realized just now on Ronan's RFD on MSNBC.

Be afraid, 'Merica. Be very afraid.

1. More humvees and rockets for the local cops and...

the death penalty for climbing the Brooklyn Bridge.

2. How could we tell a lone wolf ISIS attack from our regular daily mayhem?

[TreasonousBastard]

3. We can't, but that won't stop us from trying.

4. I doubt I'll lose a wink of sleep over this.

[glowing]

5. I'm a bit confused about when his actual death was...

His bio rundown was really quite complete... AND what's up with these "rappers".. A British rapper and now an American one.. Weird!

6. Do you feel a bit manipulated? nt

[glowing]

7. Yeah...

8. Pentagon spokesman just repeated during daily presser that

the possibility of a American coming back and attacking is a concern.

Expect it to happen. Be suprised only if it doesn't.

9. Oh, I said a few days ago somewhere, when do you think the next "attack" will have to happen

to gin up another war, the first terror war is winding down and those contractors want to continue raking in the billions from free tax monies... I doubt those Americans would be heading in the wrong direction in the first place if they had a country and job path here that made any sense or felt like an accomplishment.

11. Amen. The hype for something happening on 9/11 has been ginned up on Fox News recently

according to sources on other forums with video confirmation.

I don't think I believe it will be on 9/11, but there's no reason to discount that something is coming. I will be surpised, as I said, only if it does not come.

As I type, the dead American ISIS story now carries with it a quote from the White House: "The threat we are most concerned about to the homeland is that of fighters like this returning to the U.S. and committing acts of terrorism," a senior administration official told NBC News.

12. Because the ISIS PR guys make it seem cool.

Their professional-looking memes have been all over social media for years, comparing it to playing a videogame etc.

[glowing]

13. Yeah, it looks sooo cool.

[CJCRANE]

15. A lot of young guys think toting weapons is cool.

Look at how the world is right now both at home and abroad.

10. This would be a good opportunity

to use the no fly list. Just put every of those jihadists who go to Syria to fight to the rebels and the terrorists in that region. Try to stop them from going but especially, stop them from coming back.

14. Which is more likely, an attack from an American ISIS member or a random

mass shooting at the mall, the movies, school, church etc?
