But there's times when you need the technology and superior equipment of the military when solving terrorism - and if this ain't terrorism, I don't know what is.

So you think the military should have been called in when "Son of Sam" was doing his thang? How about when there's a serial rapist? Is that terrorism too?

It's not worth arguing this point with somebody who believes it's OK to use the military to bomb an aspirin factory to distract the public from personal felonies.

Glad to hear at least one American is also uncomfortable with using OUR military to police US.

Rome did not allow the army to be in the city of Rome. There was good reason for this. When it did, they had spectre of Romans killing Romans.

He has been reported to be carrying a ChiCom version of the AK-74.

He has been reported to be dark skinned, possibly Hispanic or Middle Eastern.
