The real question is why so many resources go into militarizing events instead of addressing the root causes of violence. We need to invest more in community programs and mental health, not just ramp up security.
This is exactly why we need to prioritize border security and back law enforcement. You can't have public safety without strong security measures in place. Glad this plot was stopped, but it makes you wonder how many more are out there.
Scary stuff, but let’s not use this as an excuse for more government surveillance overreach. Protecting citizens is important, but we can’t sacrifice our freedoms and privacy every time there’s a threat.
