Quote:Well, yeah, and if the victims had puncture wounds on their neck during a trip to Transylvania (or, you know, shot on a military base or blown up during a marathon), I'd agree, but these are people stabbed on a college campus. If the assailant's motivation had really been to cause maximum casualties and launch a personal jihad, there are much more efficient ways of going about it.

 

I have a serious issue with the chancellor of the university calling it a "tragic accident". Dudes slashing people with big knives are not accidents. If the "substance" in his backpack (which was blown up with a police explosive, not with whatever was inside) comes back as an explosive, then I'd obviously revisit my stance and have to consider that he was plotting a terrorist attack. Right now, though, it feels more like a whackjob with a knife living out his fantasies.
