This is something I've wondered at: shopping malls/big box retailers on Black Friday are perfect targets for terrorists. The economic damage you could do to the US for comparatively little investment is pretty high if properly timed. And you'd inculcate significant fear of public spaces for years to come.
It's not as cinematic as 9/11, but if you're looking to hurt the US, it's a pretty good choice.
One thing I find terrorists pretty stupid is that they can literally do anything any average individual could do to harm hundreds of people but they choose to organize in the hardest fashion. I just don't understand their stupid mind!
Glad I don't - otherwise I would be a terrorist :( HOLY SHIT
