Not sure what you mean by this GC? I would consider San Bernardino in the Los Angeles area. Distance between Los Angeles, CA and San Bernardino, CA

Radicalized Muslims do rant against Western values and one of the biggest marketers of these is our movies and books. They like to target symbols of our culture/society like the Twin Towers, Pentagon, White House, Liberty Bell, etc.

I am far less fearful in the Villages than in Orlando, Tampa Bay, etc. I also believe that the terrorists go against targets which make them look good to the people in ISIS and Al Qaeda. A bunch of seniors in a retirement community would not seem to be a high priority to ISIS leaders.

Some mentally deranged person might be more of a threat but these kind of attacks are very hard to predict as there is often little logic to them.
