Our next caller is kristin on the independent line. Republican line. Caller good morning. I want to know if we treat isis like a criminal gang and use some of the tools that you use. ,ut i mean, the orlando shooter he was not a dedicated muslim, he did not seem to be. And when you put it in perspective, in chicago they are talking about the gangs and killings, maybe 50 people a week or Something Like that. , i wonder if we should treat them like a criminal gang.
