Pretty much a case of nothing to see here, move along.
The real terror in America is homegrown and non-political. It's bullets flying because someone got "dissed" or there is drug turf to protect or maybe just because someone got mad. 19 shot, two dead, and not a word of this will be mentioned at the DNC or anywhere else within a couple days.
“The Fort Myers Police Department would like to confirm that this incident is not an act of terror (as it has been referred) or terrorists.”
Instead, the shooting appeared to be just more gangbanging such as rages in American cities with such frequency that it is reported in year-to-date statistics instead of at the top of the evening news. The country did not even shrug when 47 people were shot in Chicago just this past weekend, raising the total there for the year to just under 2,300. The killing of bystanders tends to rouse some interest, especially if the victim is a baby, but even that is quickly forgotten.
...The folks who worry about ISIS but shrug at the other killings fear only for themselves and perhaps their own kind.
Meanwhile, too many cities are unsafe even for zombies.
