    The topic of the people who were injured at OSU got derailed. BY YOU. You drifted the thread. You could have put the thread back on track, but you didn't.

    Some people on campus initially panicked and thought it was a shooting; it wasn't, but they still Tweeted misinformation about a shooting; not to intentionally mislead people, but because they were panicked and scared. Some concerned people then Tweeted about too many shootings in this country, based on the information being tweeted from campus. The media put out information based on information coming from campus.

    Despite that, many people were injured by a disturbed person who drove onto campus and stabbed some people.

    We could talk about those injured people, it's sad, then move on, but you already drifted the thread to drumbeat your same old agenda, drifting it off the original topic.

    Donald Trump says that the attacker should not have been in the country in the first place, even though he was a legal permanent resident and a student; ISIS has praised the attack.

    ISIS has praised the attack, according to a self-described news agency for the terrorist organization. The group called Artan a “soldier of the Islamic State” who had “carried out the operation in response to calls to target citizens of international coalition countries.” But ISIS has used that phrasing to describe other violent actors without laying specific claim to the act itself. And so far, investigators say there are no indications that Artan had direct connections to ISIS or al Qaeda. Investigators suspect he was inspired by a mix of terrorist ideologies and that’s what sparked him to act “out of the blue”.

    U.S. Rep. Adam Schiff, a California Democrat who sits on the House Intelligence Committee, issued a statement Tuesday evening saying it appeared Artan had been radicalized online. Schiff stated, however, that there was no evidence yet that he was communicating with radical terror organizations overseas.
