Terrorism, it was

[nadinbrzezinski]

But last night I figured why they will not call it that way


Race is a part of it, but minor one.

Read your insurance policy...and the acts of war, acts of god and terrorism exceptions...nope, not about home owners...but here is your dot of the day.

2. According to 18 USC § 2331

(5) the term “domestic terrorism” means activities that—
(A) involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State;
(B) appear to be intended—
(i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population;
(ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or
(iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and
(C) occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States.


How does this apply to what Holmes did?

4. Are people scared

And are police departments on tactical alerts?

I forgot, I missed the possession of explosive devices, weapon of mass destruction, and mass casualty incident.

[Recovered Repug]

5. So any act that scares people is automatically terrorism?

If a robber uses a gun to hold up a store is that robber a terrorist? I'm sure the store clerk would be scared.

[nadinbrzezinski]

7. In this case they won't use the term

But it is...wanna bet on the charges on possession of weapons of mass destruction?

[Recovered Repug]

14. So to sum up.

As you pointed out (correctly) that according to the legal system, Holmes is not yet guilty. However, even though the act doesn't fit the legal definition of terrorism, it was terrorism?

[nadinbrzezinski]

15. Conveniently I notice you fail to adress the weapons of mass destruction.

Have a magnificent day.

[Recovered Repug]

16. Conviently I noticed that you failed to address any political motive.

[nadinbrzezinski]

17. If I were privy to the pd investigation

Alas I am not, so can't help you there buster.

[Recovered Repug]

20. So unless or until a political motive is established, how can it be considered terrorism?

Since that is one of the legal requirements.

[nadinbrzezinski]

26. Go try that one somewhere else

You realize the una bomber was never classified as such, even when according to a few legal authorities if qualified.

You realize the ft hood shooting was not classified as such either, never mind the clear cut political motivations?

Deciding to go there is ALSO a political decision.

Sorry if this makes no sense to you.

[zappaman]

28. "Sorry if this makes no sense to you."

No you're not.
Not by a longshot.

[Recovered Repug]

33. "Going there" IS a political decision.

Responsible people don't go there until there is a "there" there.

Sorry if that makes no sense to you.

But thanks for playing!

3. Oh come, the guy was as white as you get

That's NOT terrorism!

[Robb]

6. What was his political goal?

[nadinbrzezinski]

9. You go ask him Robb.

[Robb]

18. You just said it was terrorism.

What was the political goal?

[nadinbrzezinski]

19. You go ask

Bye

[Robb]

21. It's like diagnosing heart failure over the phone.

He might just have hung up on you.

This is an idiotic post. I regret participating.

[nadinbrzezinski]

22. Good, it's mutual

[Robb]

23. Good to hear. I look forward to the inevitable self-deleted OP.

[nadinbrzezinski]

24. I look forwards to the ignore

Bye.

[zappaman]

30. Does this mean you won't answer a simple question?

You made the assertion and when asked to back it up, you turn nasty as usual.
So, one can only be led to believe you pulled the OP out of your ass.

[Recovered Repug]

25. Oh, it gets better.

31. Yes, that is what happens when someone learns a new term

and decides they are going to show all of us idiots how smart they are.

[nadinbrzezinski]

12. How would a universal background check restrict you?

[Brickbat]

10. Seems to me the major reason they won't is because it wasn't.

Or at least hasn't been found to be so far.

[TouchOfGray]

13. Terrorism is a tactic

A tactic is used to achieve a desired result or goal.

What have you decided his goal was?

[Iggy]

27. Agreed, it's DOMESTIC Terrorism

this has been actually going on for some time now- and also against abortion clinics and Planned
Parenthood clinics. the FBI and local law enforcement hasn't been doing much about
it.

wonder why that is?

[greytdemocrat]

29. Good lord everyone!!!

It's Nadin, don't argue with her!!!!

32. "Terrorism, it was"

Thank you, Yoda.
Backing this accusation up, you will not.
