We Defeat Monsters With Courage, Not Fear

This Colorado theatre attack fits the defintion of domestic terrorism, no matter what the motivation. Creating chaos, anger and fear is the goal for terrorists such as these. Lone gunmen looking to destroy the world are terrorists. Physical security from attacks such as these comes from community team building, an armed citizenry and legislators who legislate for the people's freedom to protect themselves, rather than against the very freedoms that can destroy these monsters when they appear. We do not need metal detectors at theatres, or more gun control. We need the community to endorse its people to protect themselves. We need to work together to maintain vigilance and cohesion when presented with terror. We do not need to have knee jerk reactions that result in clamping down on our freedoms. We need community planning and a "don't try this with us" mindset. That is how we prevent these attrocities. We defeat monsters with courage, not fear.
