I'd imagine they chose that location over something like a farmers barn or a Hess Mart. They wanted to make a statement, still, it doesn't change the premise of my question.
It was symbolic, nobody will deny that. And as a minimum when this is said and done, they'll likely get charged with trespassing or something along those lines. Provided this ends without incident. But they also picked an unoccupied building instead of a place where hostages would be a factor.
That doesn't sound very Islamic extremist-esque now does it? Doing something symbolic and not taking hostages or killing folks?
Was that the premise of your question?
