I'm seeing it as an act, a violation of State of North Carolina law. And anything past that is just word.

Our ongoing investigation indicates that the suspect's motive was to avenge the deaths of Muslims around the world. There is every indication in this early stage of the investigation that he acted alone. There is no indication whatsoever that he acted in concert with anyone.

His indication to us was that we could find the reason for this attack in his apartment.

What is this emergency act all about? Is it another name for martial law?

The attorney general conceded that the Patriot Act isn't perfect, and that it can be changed without damaging law enforcement's ability to stop terrorists,

We believe that this was an act of vandalism and we are cooperating with law enforcement officials who have already begun an investigation.
