Now I guess that I am wondering of what you mentioned that happened this weekend is an act or terrorism or or of guerrilla warfare? or was it just some very passionate individual who wanted to create attention via a violent act. I am wondering what his motives were, if any? He had to have had a reason. What I get out of it is that there was one individual who was unhappy and wants to create change. I am wondering how many others are out there thinking the same way.
