There certainly appears to be a makeable case that what he did constituted terrorism.

    I might as well say he's a pro-gun white terrorist, since you seem to be so fond of politicizing everything that doesn't fit in with your personal positions.
    From your post, it is apparent that you haven't the foggiest notion of what terrorism really is.

      It's attacking and thereby causing fear in a group, usually through some deadly act of aggression, for some political cause--which is what I clearly hinted at in the post.

        He's not terrorizing for whiteness or gun ownership so your comparison was nonsense.
        "As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12

        There is no such thing as innocence, only degrees of guilt.

          I was referring to his militant anti-religious stances.

            Which are furthered by his attack . . . how, exactly?

            Terrorism has a goal. This was just parking space rage.

              Pig, that would be true if it was Muslims, or homosexuals doing the same thing, but this was an ordinary white guy so it must be terrorism.

                By striking fear into other Muslims via leading them to worry that further attacks upon American Muslims will follow...and thereby coercing them to flee or be less visible in society.

                Time will tell, I suppose, but for now, I find it vastly more difficult to believe that this happened because he got overheated about parking space.

                  Perhaps you could show me some evidence that he was using this attack as a platform to spread a message? Did he publish a manifesto before or after the attacks? Did he defiantly hole up and stridently proclaim his alleged message? (Hint: no, he turned himself in to police).

                  Time will tell, I suppose, but for now, I find it vastly more difficult to believe that this happened because he got overheated about parking space.
                  I'm not surprised that you find it difficult to believe. I find your difficulty naive at best and disingenuous at worst. Crimes of passion happen all too frequently, and are rarely over something logical.

                    I don't think the term 'terrorist' means what you think it means...

                      Ever hear of road rage?
