Well the fear to do your naormal routine and feel safe around your home is
exactly the thing these people want which is why they are called
terror-ists - they wanted to strike terror in the masses by small but
horrific acts then small ones just to bring the adrenaline level up. Best
thing is to be wary and watchful but not fearful enough to hide or restrict
yourself or to even get to a level of paranoia. Back 60+ years ago in GB
they had reason to be in continual fear - 5000 lb bombs and rockets were
dropped into cities there and ships sunken all the time. These newest acts
are only there to make people fearful and lose one of their basic needs - a
feeling of safety. If a small group can cause a large mass to be confused
and become paranoid then it's easy for them to go into further activities.
If everyone stays sane and calm even though it disturbs you that these
things are going on and so close then these people won't have the advantage.
We had some nasty riots throughout the 60's in Chicago and not only were
they near us but my own father was directly involved as a Chicago policeman
then and in the middle of all of them. High school at JF Kennedy in Chicago
from 71 to 75 wasn't much better as we had some serious racial problems in a
forced intergrated school (both sides were as much the cause, not just one
or the other) and while it was hard to go through a day with a serious mass
fight in the lunchroom where people came out with serious injuries and a few
times handguns went off in the hall (two shootings that I know of but no
deaths) along with homemade smoke and incendiary bombs in the rest rooms
things were right on the virge of impossible to want to go to school - some
people went the extremes and sent their kids across the city to parochial
schools. I just dealt with it, kept out of the "hot spots" (unless I myself
was in an ass-kicking mood at the time) and went to class and got an
education.
You and your family and freinds will likely ride through this wave of
problems fine as long as you just keep and eye open for out of the ordinary
and go about your normal life, in a normal way.
