[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whether or not these shooters were motivated by race is a red herring. These school shooters are much like members of ISIS in that they are disaffected and don't have anything better to do. Which extreme ideology they attach themselves to is (in part) irrelevant. On some level, they just want to kill and destroy.[/quote]
+1  People who are lost and feeling adrift are easily swayed into joining cults and gangs.  This isn't a white person or American thing.  Those radical jihadists are really not that different than those school shooters, but of course, only Trumpsters like to distinguish the two as --  white killer = mental issues;  muslim killer = evil terrorist.[/quote]

Look, I can't be responsible for people who are "lost and feeling adrift".  These discussions are getting ridiculous, and bordering on asinine. [/quote]
So when there is a "terrorist" attack by a Muslim, do you not make comments because the discussions about them are "getting ridiculous, and bordering on asinine."?  Somehow, I doubt it.[/quote]

Terrorism is, in the broadest sense, the use of intentionally indiscriminate violence as a means to create terror among masses of people; or fear [b]to achieve a financial, political, religious or ideological aim.[/b]

I don't believe a school shooter (yet) is setting out to do that. They're setting out for notoriety or they're just plain insane. They may write rantings, but are they political? Not that I can remember. Are they grouped together and acting in concert, one after another? Not that I can remember.

So that's a no then.  Exactly what I thought.

White killer = mentally ill
Muslim killer  = terrorist
