Is this going to end up being more like a Columbine situation than anything?

Not some international terrorist conspiracy but just two guys trying to hurt as many people as possible. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that one of the brothers was a psychopath and the other just a loser/follower type. Kind of like Klebold and Harris.

but, the things they are doing and their past behaviors show there is a good chance they are working with others.

They said there was an AP article done on the older man regarding his boxing. He said even though he has lived in the USA for 5 years he has no friends here.

Wait and see how this unfolds.

To me it's not looking like Columbine.

have any money or a car? I'd think if you were any kind of a terrorist organization and you had two guys willing to do anything, you could manage things a little better than that.

and apparently did not make the cut to box for the US in the Olympics..
Who knows what their issues were?

Good riddance to them both (and their cohorts)

like Klebold and Harris. The older one probably was the leader but you have to have no conscience to even participate.

Kid killers. This seems to be a growing phenom.
