I got so worried when reading the title. I was on the tube on Thursday and didn't feel safe.

Police should have shot him dead, not tasered him.

That would be extrajudicial killing. He was not a threat to them and they are skilled enough to tackle and arrest him.

Also they don't carry guns.

I really hope, the three injured will fully recover soon and this islamistic terrorist will be brought to justice.

Oooohhh another muslim (or a mainstream liberal who never tried to think anything other than he was taught to do so) who thinks he is so knowledgable and wise that he is an authority to tell whom is muslim, whom is "no muslim bro". Let's constitute islamic inquisition babe...

For it to be a terrorist attack, it doesn't have to be organised. All the mass shootings in the US, should be labelled terrorist attacks but aren't because they don't meet the media criteria. Any attack that initiates any sort of terror in a community can be constituted as a terrorist attack.

Not true. Terrorism is when there is some form of terror attack with political aims. A random shooting isn't a terrorist attack if there was no sort of political aim. 

If you Google "terrorism definition" you get: the use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims.

US FBI Terrorism definitions: 

"International terrorism" means activities with the following three characteristics:

Involve violent acts or acts dangerous to human life that violate federal or state law;

Appear to be intended (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and

Occur primarily outside the territorial jurisdiction of the U.S., or transcend national boundaries in terms of the means by which they are accomplished, the persons they appear intended to intimidate or coerce, or the locale in which their perpetrators operate or seek asylum.*

"Domestic terrorism" means activities with the following three characteristics:

Involve acts dangerous to human life that violate federal or state law;

Appear intended (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination. or kidnapping; and

Occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the U.S.

I find it so strange how a man in London stabs three people and the police call it a terrorist attack but here in the states we had two (or three?) people use assault rifles and explosives to kill over a dozen and whether it's terrorism is the subject of debate.

I hope the sad state of the world changes soon. 

Because we have a president who is afraid of saying "radical islamic terrorism" because he's a goddam bleeding heart.

Also I love how people from the U.K. are upset about the country helping with airstrikes to defeat evil in a world-wide effort, yet they begged us to help them in world war I and II. Oh the irony. 

If y'all hate war so much we should have let Germany take you over. Give me a break, it's a necessary evil.

In London, the man yelled "This is for Syria!" according to reports. Violent attack + political reason = Terrorism. 

It was quick and easy.

In the San Bernardino shootings it took longer because there were no clear reasons for the attack. NOW that we have all these details it's safe to say it was a terrorist attack, whether Obama calls it that or not.

Yeah, I know. Kind of counterproductive of that man, if you ask me. 

Motives aside, though, I still think the San Bernardino should've been considered terrorism from the get-go. Then they could determine whether it was domestic or otherwise. You don't assemble that kind of assault just for sh*ts and giggles

Ok then, let's call it Radical islamic attack, anyway, it was a freaking attack, let's not play the dictionary game in the middle of this tragedy.

Disgusting behavior.

I hope all people are safe and wish those cowards understand just how manipulated they are.
