Pipe Bombs and F*cking Dynamite

So this is my town and I'm having mild trauma reactions to this.  The duality of relief and shock.  On the one hand, that this guy's been known and shadowed for years (a follow on article mentions that the ADL has been tracking and reporting his on line behavior for three years) and in contact with FBI undercovers for the past three months.  On the other hand, shock that my religious community had no heads up of potential threats and none of us knew until today when the news hit the headlines.  We had a funeral reception in the social hall Friday afternoon for a woman who survived the Holocaust - a strange alignment of timing, his political beliefs, her physical experiences.  Service Friday evening.  Hebrew school Sunday afternoon . . . if he'd changed his timing from late at night, gone off without telling his "friends" (FBI under covers), the result could have been absolutely catastrophic.  But even there, the sign in our social hall window probably influenced his plan to bomb the place overnight:  This is NOT a gun-free zone.

I don't love guns in the first place and I kinda hate thinking they're necessary in a place of worship but I also know who carries, and the people who do have extensive stress training and are instructors themselves so if we're going to have guns in the place, we're probably in better shape than a lot of places.
