[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]To me, if you walk into a church/recruiting center/movie theatre/school/mall/anywhere and shoot up a bunch of people, you are terrorist scum.

I don't care if you are inspired by the KKK, extremist religious views (Muslim, Christian, voices in your head, whatever)--if you have the ability to take human lives like that, you are a terrorist.

I'm not anymore threatened by ISIS than I am by a nameless/faceless American plotting against someone from their apartment.

Everything in our country is so politicized but I choose to use a binary scale of judgement when judging good and evil.  The Chattanoga and Charleston shooters are exactly the same to me.

If you are concerned about politicization of such killings, why choose such a politicized word as "terrorist". The word once was used to describe attacks against the public aimed at changing government policy. Now it has become a description for anything we don't like (even non-violence). If you want to de-politicize Chattanoga and Charleston, call the perpetrators what they are: murderers.
