    Obama doesn't want anything to disrupt and dirssturb his last few months in office. He wants to go out as a transformational leader that saved the planet from climate change disaster. It wouldn't surprise me if don't-upset-the-apple-cart directives weren't already sent out to the executive departments. A story yesterday suggests the Pentagon peeps are increasingly disturbed about the clamps on responding to IS/ISIS/ISIL by sending just 50 "advisors" and failing to declare the recent rescue mission during which a solder was killed as combat. A stabbing as an act of terrorism? Not hardly, not from this administration.

    Was he inspired by ISIS calls for lone wolf stabbings? Though the authorities try to dismiss this attacks as nothing more than a grudge there has to be more to it because someone who has a grudge against specific people doesn't go around stabbing everyone. As for banning weapons, it wouldn't stop the bad guys from obtaining weapons illegally. The solution I would propose — security should be increased in educational institutions.

    There have been more reports of knife attacks, recently there was one here in the UK where a student stabbed and killed another. There may not be a link but he was male and it may stem from anger and frustration over losing control? (Here they were both white teenagers; http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/aberdeen-school-stabbing-teenage-boy-6723457)

    It could be a number of factors from video games, to influence, but it does appear to more male orientated. Maybe there needs to be more mental health help because his roommates were living with someone unstable and cold have been dangerous for them.

    Terrorism related or not, it's still pretty disgusting that this stuff is happening. I read a lot about attacks at schools being related to wanting to get back at the school for what happened to the person there. Columbine for example, the guys were pretty much outcasts and only had each other. Same trend follows with the V-Tech shootings.

    More needs to be done to prevent them and more needs to be done to tackle mental health which seems to be an underlying issue in these events.

    Nothing is random, there are always things that lead up to this kind of garbage.
    A lot of the time it's undiagnosed mental illness.

    The mainstream media would never call it what it truly is. Obama is a muslim as well so he definitely won't call it out. The people who are awake know the truth.
