I still think this is interesting, FF posted about this upstream (a couple things come to mind, the timing, and also oddly enough, the "errant bullet" during "JULY 4th" eekend...):
"Wednesday, May 13, 2015
"Gortney, boss of U.S. Northern Command in Colorado Springs, ordered a security increase last week that remained in place Tuesday. The tighter security has led to traffic tangles at some Pikes Peak region bases and has barred visitors from the Air Force Academy."
Snip
"It's the tightest security the military has seen since 9/11, and no word has been given on when it might be eased.
Gortney, who took command in December, said the security measures are a symptom of the increased reach of terror groups that have successfully used the Internet to grow their ranks in the U.S.
"The nature of the threat has changed," he said in his first remarks on the security changes he ordered Friday."

Also, the term "domestic terrorism" has been coming up in this thread since virtually the first page...and with the recent rampage in TN, there uuas a quote about the messages to just kill someone, anyone, can't find them now but it certainly does seem to really make me wonder about NS...honestly, it took me a while to come to this point (FTR I still believe there is a good chance it is just some random nutjob(s) still out there), but again, I think FF has really done a good job here as far as finding a viable potential suspect and backing up motive, etc. JMO
Another article:
"According to USA Today, the Pentagon raised threat levels in response to an ISIS threat. They say the threat level was raised from Alpha to Bravo after attempts were made by ISIS to recruit from across the U.S.
According to the Navy's website, Bravo is applied when an increased or more predictable threat of terrorist activity exists."
So, "recruiting"...might that involve firing at random drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians? (Again FF's quote about just "kill someone, anyone...")
