Disney?? [Possible terrorist target?]

[Carol C]

Here in SC we have lagoons everywhere with alligators frequently seen in or along water's edge. In our 55+ mobile home park this sign says it all, and it's something Disney should do: "SC law prohibits feeding alligators" and the next sign says "No swimming or wading". Without scaring folks silly you strongly hint that gators might be in the water...if you use that wording on well-placed signs. Disney needs to act responsible after this senseless tragedy!

I saw on the news that Disney has said they will be changing their signage. Will that be enough? Who knows. Unfortunately there are always people who feel the signs don't apply to them.

If this guy is in fact part of a larger threat then I apologize for being so naive, but right now it doesn't appear that he was working with anyone.

Why are you attacking me for giving the facts that are currently available to the public?

Lone nut job who acted independently? What do you know that our government does not? It is a fact that organized foreign terrorist groups are promoting independent acts of terrorism by lone-wolf sympathizers. They are using the internet to further fuel those sympathizers was propaganda videos. In no way is that a lone nut job or someone acting independently. This is an organized war against the United States.

Security is not based on intelligence only. Security has a preventative aspect that is based on an assessment of what might be next. As Wayne Gretzky said, you skate to where the puck is going not where the puck is.

Maybe off-topic, but here's the data on what really kills Americans.

In many age groups 'Poisoning' is a leading cause - - it took me a while to realize that those are the drug overdoses.
'Firearm' is divided among unintentional, suicide, and homicide.

I'm not attacking anyone. The fact that he was influenced by videos and propaganda from terrorists is already public information from the FBI.

Send me a link to that information. I'd love to read about the FBI data. I feel stupid at this point for not having all of the information I should have had. I thought it was a lone nut job, but I guess now we're past that.

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

I wonder how this latest event will effect Disney and Orlando in general?

Have you driven on a US interstate highway?? Your risk of dropping dead of a heart attack or diabetes far outweighs the chance that you will die in a terrorist attack. I am from NY... People I know died in the wtc. I now live in Orlando. Not a day has gone by that did not witness a funeral lately.

At the end of the day, fear is fear.
