      @swearyanthony Right: but my point is many of these attacks are by single broken individuals (so mental illness is necessary framework).

      @HeerJeet Right but also consider that this is still ongoing. Consider that abstract think pieces aren't appropriate right now.

      @swearyanthony One reason to think about it: if mental illness is main factor then negotiation focusing on de-escalation makes sense.

      @HeerJeet I'm asking you for decencies sake- please leave it alone for a bit. Let situation resolve. Then time for abstract thought.

      @swearyanthony Well, there's already a lot of press coverage already linking this to ISIS in a way I think is inflammatory & dangerous.

      @HeerJeet I really like to read your take on things. But now is not the time. Its a scary bad situation. Let it play out

      @sunili @HeerJeet Point is, let's wait a bit before writing about it. Its a fucked up chaotic situation with lives at risk.

      @swearyanthony @sunili If other journalists took "wait and see" attitude and weren't linking it to ISIS, I wouldn't have tweeted at all.

          @HeerJeet @sunili Well yes - I have nothing but contempt for the daily tele (local equiv of NYPost). But let's not layer on speculation,hey?

          @swearyanthony @sunili Fair point, although I think feedback effect is something media need to think about as they report a story.
