Does the 1982 Men Without Hats song Safety Dance come to
mind after Al Shabaab calls for an attack on the Mall of America? I am not making light of the fact that the
Mall of America is being called out by name, but I really did start hearing the
beat of that song when I first read about the called for act in Minnesota. I wonder how many people take these threats seriously.
Did the call for violence or terrorism stop
you from going to a mall over the weekend?
I was out by the mall yesterday and it didn’t seem as though in La
Crosse that any less people worked their way to the mall. Do we let threats dictate our lives? I think if we are all vigilant and if we see
something that seems off or odd that we say something and look out for each
other that we will have that much more of a chance of being safe. I hope that we don’t live our lives in fear
over the ranting of one person or another or that we let someone words put a
damper on our lives.
