why is it when a white guy goes on random acts of violence he's troubled...but if a muslim..convert at that does it , he's a terrorist?



There was nothing random about this. He set out to kill someone in the military. I think that someone who kills in the name of his or her religion is troubled.

same reason as when the army wiped out an indian village it was a battle

but if the indians retaliated it was a massacre

those that report it twist their spin to their benefit

drinker

only thing that could qualify it is that it was an act against the military of the govt and those shoot were random it would not have mattered who they were as long as they were in the requiting station


but i can agree to it not being an act of terrorism

thet term gives to broad of a power structure to the govt now

The unlawful use of force or violence against persons or property in order to coerce or intimidate a government or the civilian population in furtherance of political or social objectives.

that is the legal definition. If the man had political motives and sought out the military...then it is a terrorist act. if he had shot a random person walking down the street....then it would be murder

Rose but to call this an act of terrorism would also imply that 'one' knows his motive, and unless he tells someone it will remain an opinion.

he "probably had political and religious motives for the attack," the police chief said.




it was not a fact it is opinion

that is the last line of the o p



LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – A man with "political and religious motives"



so should not the paper be charged with liable for misrepresenting the news (as that is the opening line of the story contaminating the jury pool)

I ask that there be prayers, well-wishings, or however you lean for the family of william.

i have worked for five years with his father, and his family is devastated. this was a good kid, respectful and intelligent, and he'll be missed.

Not the first real terrorism in this country by a long shot but sad none the less.
