#1 Texican Rattlesnake logic:

Now the news media will spend days trying to determine why these men did what they did in Boston. They will want to know what America did to make these brothers so angry with us. They will want to know why these men were not arrested before they did something unlawful. The media will be in a tizzy about the new era of home grown radicals and about how they could live among us and still hate us.

Here in west Texas, I have rattlesnakes on my place. I have killed a rattlesnake on the front porch. I have killed a rattlesnake on the back porch. I have killed rattlesnakes in the barn, in the shop and on the driveway. I kill every rattlesnake I encounter. I kill rattlesnakes because a rattlesnake will bite me and inflict me with poison. I don't stop to wonder why a rattlesnake will bite me.

It will bite me because it is a rattlesnake and that is what rattlesnakes do. I don't try to reason with a rattlesnake...I just kill it. I don't try to get to know the rattlesnake better so that I can find a way to live with the rattlesnakes and convince them not to bite me...I just kill them. I don't quiz a rattlesnake to see if I can find out where the other snakes are because (a) it won't tell me (b) I already know that they live on my place...I just kill the rattlesnake and move on to the next one. I don't look for ways that I might be able to change the rattlesnake to a non-poisonous rat snake. I just kill it. Oh, and on occasion I kill a rat snake, because I thought it was a rattlesnake at the time. Also, I know that for every rattlesnake that I kill, two more lurk out there. In my lifetime I will never be able to rid my place of rattlesnakes. Do I fear them? No! Do I respect what they can do to me? Yes! And because of that respect I give them their fair justice....I kill them. Maybe as a country we should give more thought to the jihadist just being a rattlesnake!

#3 Meh, Rattlesnakes just keep 'ya lively and alert, an Islamist on the other hand can kill you slam dead. Know your snakes, some have legs.

#4 In East Texas we have Cottonmouths. In Kentucky they dropped on us from trees. They bite cause it is in their nature and they are hatched angry. I know it. My horse knows it. I had a dog that learned it, late. I lure them into a trap with furry little rodents from my fields. If there weren't mice (chechen students, et. al.) there wouldn't be snakes (jihadists).
They taste like chicken.

#5 I came home one time and saw a crowd(30) Of Cats in a circle with a brown lump in the center, I thought "Oh no, a cat's been killed, probably run over by the power company Truck" but when I got closer it was a Rattlesnake, and surrounded (Custer's last stand, Dammit, where'd all those Indians((Cats)) Come from.)

He was coiled, but not to strike, his head was UNDER his tsil, and if he could have stopped Rattling, he'd be OK, But the Rattling attracted the Cats.

He was a Rattlesnake so I killed him (Cut his head off with a shovel) and buried the head where the Cats wouldn't get it.

Last I saw, three Cats were playing tug-of-war with his carcass(Headless, but still moving,) I never saw a scrap of Snake at all after that.

Good riddance. 8 rattles and a button.

And yes, I don't like snakes at all.
