Not a terrorist attack?

If that's the case, then it's probably time for us, as a society, to re-examine how we perceive and define terrorism. This concerns me much more than gun laws, to be honest.

I don't agree that terrorism necessarily has to have a political motive or be ideological in nature. This is a common theme intrinsic to many narratives in discourse regarding terrorism that has led to this warped and very narrow perception, but it is in error - and dangerously so.

If you are using a modified automatic weapon to kill a bunch of people at a concert, whatever your reasons (OR lack thereof), you are in fact inciting terror. To me (and any rational person that doesn't go by strict abstract definitions), that absolutely qualifies as terrorism. It doesn't even have to be a modified automatic weapon. If I walk down the street with a baseball bat and start bashing peoples heads in at random, I am indeed committing an act of terrorism, am I not?

Well, no. Mass murder, yes. Terrorism is a means of psychological warfare. So far, without any purpose, this is just senseless killing. He maybe just hates society, and this was his way of striking back. He was formerly a postal worker...

This guy was a terrorist. Any act that spews terror, is a terrorist act. This guy, in a most BLATANT fashion, spewed terrorism. As far as I'm concerned, any news source claiming this guy not to be a terrorist or that what he did isn't an act of terrorism, lacks the ability to be an objective and factual news source and therefore should not be taken seriously. Period.

Not only that, but the fact he had planned to do something else like this, also points to him being a terrorist. Additionally, he is probably one of the most dangerous types of terrorists for a multitude of reasons - far more dangerous than the likes of Isis or other reactionary Muslim terrorist organizations. Living in America, you are far more likely to be killed by a white terrorist than you are a Muslim one, despite the ever popular (but incorrect) narrative that white people cannot be terrorists.

I will not let people sit back and label groups like Antifa or BLM as terrorist organizations, or people from those groups as terrorists, but give this motherfucker a free pass from the label. NO. Just....NO. This guy was an out and out terrorist.

I don’t trust the government or the MSM to tell us the real truth. There might be a motive, or he might be a patsy in some larger plot embarrassing to a part of the deep state. Something worthy of a cover up, and something they don’t want the people to know about. This may be a coincidence, but allegedly I’ve heard one of this guys planes was purchased by a CIA front company (Volant, LLC, Volant Associates, LLC. https://www.linkedin.com/in/ericmohney ). I’m open to the possibility of him being partisan, but to whom?
