Terrorizing While Wingnut?

I don’t want to cast any aspersions. But I think it’s worth asking this question. Yesterday, gunmen or a gunman (it now seems like the latter) shot up the outside of a military training facility being used in the Jade Helm 15 military exercises. There are strong circumstantial reasons to believe the attack was tied to the JH15 hysteria, though we can’t be sure. Today it happened again. And reports suggest that it was the same guy – same basic description of the suspect, etc. So we don’t know it was the same guy. But similar description of suspect and vehicle with a guy driving up and shooting from his car. How exactly does that get allowed to happen again the second day in a row? Was security raised? Were police on alert to respond to another attack? Again, there may be good answers to this. But it just seems odd to me that a guy could drive up in a pick up truck two days in a row, in the same place, and shoot at soldiers.
