Domestic Terrorism in Santa Cruz

Following on the heels of my post last week about the ongoing violence in America and the confusing definition of domestic terrorism, attackers in Santa Cruz have been quickly identified by local police as a candidate:

Santa Cruz police officials said Sunday the case will be handed to the FBI to investigate as domestic terrorism while local authorities explore additional security measures for the 13 UCSC researchers listed in a threatening animal-rights pamphlet found in a downtown coffee shop last week.

“The FBI has additional resources and intelligence into groups and individuals that might have the proclivity to carry out this kind of activity,” police Capt. Steve Clark said. “The FBI has a whole other toolbox of tools for this kind of investigation.”

Nice quote Mr. Clark. I will have to remember to watch out for the toolbox of tools. That’s different than the toolbox of rubber ducks and fake mustaches that they use for cases deemed not to be terrorist related.
