It seems highly improbably that ISIS or an ISIS inspired killer would target the Villages as this would really backfire on their movement. Mass killing of seniors and their grandkids would probably not be of much use for their propaganda machine.

Something else horrible could happen however. We should always be alert of our surroundings.

There was a little argument on 6/13/2016 at the Belvedere Gate because the guy ahead of me did not have his gate pass and the gate no longer had a red button. The button had been knocked off somehow and you could only use the gate card.

The guy behind me was getting in a yelling match with the guy in front of me.

I got out of the car after putting it in park and used my card to open the gate for the guy with no card available.

And off he went. The guy in the car ahead of me-- driving away. Situation diffused.

This could have escalated though if both guys were armed and willing to use their guns.

Pretty hard to carry around a Gatling Gun though in the Old West. And now we have their equivalent in rate of fire or even faster among similar murderous hotheads in 2016.
