    Are we sure that it’s “ISIS inspired”? Because after the Oklahoma City bombing, the government kept insisting it was a foreign attack and most everyone I knew thought it was home-grown terrorism.

      “An ISIS flag was located in the vehicle and the FBI is working to determine the subject’s potential associations and affiliations with terrorist organizations,”

      Seems like a reasonable connection to investigate.
