ALERTER'S COMMENTS
Incorrectly (and racistly?) labels shooter a terrorist. Thread distract from real issue of police violence on black men. Jingoistic. Disrespectful to victims of police violence and has no place on DU.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sun Dec 21, 2014, 03:56 AM, and the Jury voted 0-7 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Random violence is a terrorist act, so that part is true. The perpetrator was a terrorist. It's not a race, it's a tactic. There is no one "real issue" when it comes to violence in our country. We are reaching some sort of critical mass wherein violence is almost the first reaction. To illustrate how one family suffers does not diminish the suffering of other victims.
