This event was bound to attract the attention of the muslim radicals. They are so imbued with hatred of all who do not believe as they do.
The Security officer may not have been certified as a Texas law officer since he was not carrying a gun. The school districts in Texas have developed their own security forces that try to protect events on school property. Some are armed and some are not.
The courts will have to step up and incarcerate for life any person appearing before them on terror charges.
The only way to stop this behavior is by brute force as was done during the time of the crusades. The muslim Allah is a figment of the imagination of their founder who built his cult on terror and destruction.
