The New Years Attack Was Always Imminent

Shamsud-din Jabbar, 42, Texas-born and apparently bent on inscribing his name in the book of American nightmares. Replete with body armor, a tactical helmet, military gear, a stolen Glock allegedly from New Jersey and a .308 that's seen better days, all decorated with some kind of pink substance that'll keep the forensics boys scratching their heads for months.

The rented truck (spotted Tuesday) came bearing Texas plates and at least one IED device in the ice chest to make the situation considerably worse – if you can imagine anything worse than 10 dead and 35 wounded in America's most musical city. The steel barriers were down, which is about as useful as a lead life jacket when you're dealing with this kind of determination. As the elderly Chief Of Police, complained that they had no way of blocking the attack because he drove on the sidewalk...and only a terrorist would do that. Not a city full of drunks.

The FBI, who had initially claimed it wasn't a terrorist attack, changed course immediately and is now actively searching for 4 to 5 accomplices. The black flag of ISIS made an appearance, like some kind of sick party favor. Jabbar had apparently crossed at Eagle Pass back in November – a detail that'll have the border hawks circling for months, screaming "I told you so" into the void of cable news.

We're left with a question that nobody wants to ask: What kind of country produces its own nightmares and imports them at the same time?
