Terrorism isn't just for terrorists

Most of you should be aware of the brash terrorist attacks in India this past Wednesday and as I was watching news clips on the Mumbai attacks I came across a news clip of an armed robbery in my local area. The video shows several heavily armed, masked men storming a busy Dunkin' Donuts shop. After robbing the store and the customers, they randomly shot at the complacent group of customers who were all laid faced down on the floor. Just because these armed men weren't members of an extremest group there isn't much separating them from the guys raiding the city of Mumbai. I don't want to put the fear of god into people but you dont have to look far for terrorism to effect you and as the economy gets worse you better know that these kind of random violent crimes will be more common and will have nothing to do with ideology and everything to do with the economy.
