Domestic terrorists make headlines almost daily-creating ’terror’ all over the U.S. -so what’s a Radical Islamist to do to make us more ’terrified’ of them? Recent mass shootings, scattered all over the U.S.-in Gilroy, California, El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio-made people feel like nowhere was safe. So, news of an ISIS terror attack might have gotten lost in this barrage. Dr. Carole takes you inside the head of these shooters, to understand what makes them tick, what their motivation was, and what-if anything-makes them different from ISIS. When Santino William Legan, the Gilroy Garlic Festival Shooter, was asked why he was doing this, he said, “Because I’m really angry!” Indeed, this can be said of all mass shooters (including ISIS terrorists). They unleash their rage on the world, proving it by the number of dead bodies they leave in their wake. After Legan's attack, it was discovered he had an ambitious target list, which has set the FBI on a domestic terrorism investigation. Patrick Crusius, the El Paso shooter, was inspired by Brenton Tarrant, the New Zealand shooter who attacked mosques. Crusius, too left a manifesto before his attack, which reveals he was angry about what he perceived as the Hispanic invasion of Texas. Connor Betts, the Dayton, Ohio shooter, doesn't really fit the definition of a domestic terrorist. His motivation was much more personal and was foreshadowed by the hit lists he left of boys he wanted to kill and girls he wanted to rape because they wouldn’t date him. All of these shootings, however, were preventable, if people ’said something’ when they ’saw something’.
