So all you need to be a terrorist is a bomb?

[the next guy]

So if I have a bomb, I am a muslim or from Somalia and I blow up a random place I am a terrorist but if I am black and shoot 5 to 10 people a common criminal or or white and I murk 26 little kids I a mentally ill? Thanks Western World for letting me know that terrorism is simply based off of what weapon you have, and what your name is.

How is Lanza not terrorism
How is Holmes not terrorism

They both killed 3x more than these bombings. Yet people call this radical islam despite not having an official motive yet?


Canada, US, Mexico and the rest of the west need to admit that we have let gun violence become part of our culture to the point that we can forget horrific shootings in 3 weeks but not a bomb who killed less people.

/end rant.

There will always be bad people in every country.

The terrorist label is given to foreigners who kill Americans although you can classify Americans who do that as "domestic terrorist"

But generally the term is reserved for foreigners.

Terrorist have a political motive. Talk to me when we get one from the Suspect.

RIGHT NOW, if this dude is a terrorist so is Lanza.
Don't mess this thread up.

IT's just for the agenda that will roll out after the situation is cleaned up. That is all.

 

[daze23]

it's about motivation. a "terrorist" wants to bring "terror". they want to send some kind of message to many people

someone that 'snaps' and shoots a bunch of people is different

Thing is, all we know is that he is Muslim from Russia. We don't know his political motives yet. It's all speculation. And maybe he does not have one. Maybe he just wanted to kill.

when is the last time you have heard of someone using bombs to injure/kill at a famous public event , and they DIDN'T have some type of political motive?

Never. But until the FBI says something. This is speculation.

maybe, but bombing a major event fits the MO

It matters how you die, that shouldn't be the case.

someone who snaps has no motivation? and do not intend to send a message to society?

 

[daze23]

it depends. but there's not much room to get away from that motivation when someone attacks an event like The Boston Marathon

I'm not trying to argue that other cases are or aren't "terrorism". just that this case in Boston clearly fits the definition
