Police says it is not, but the Nevada state law says so. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/las-vegas-shooting-nevada-terrorism-state-law-act-police-stephen-paddock-a7978456.html Thanks for the link Nevada state law defines Las Vegas mass shooting as an act of terrorism The state's statute says an “act of terrorism means any act that involves the use or attempted use of sabotage, coercion or violence which is intended to cause great bodily harm or death to the general population”. it is interesting.

And it's been very clear that certain acts of violence in the country cause greater retaliation regarding race. 2 minutes ago, Alexander Levi said: Ok.... but Gaga isn't talking about the dictionary definition.... how are you not understanding that?

He even tweets fake news which Fox refutes! There’s a reason there’s no “I told you so” this time. He’s a hypocrite. This guy had to have a motive which makes this an act of terror; no matter which group he belonged to... this was not school shooting because of some bullying... I know we have to wait, but I won’t believe he’s just mentally ill. Alternative facts matter too he really does live in his own little world though And yeah, I have no doubt it's an act of terrorism, it's just by literal definition we can't call it a "terrorist attack" until we know the motives behind the shooting. I hardly think it matters though Call it whatever you want, I only care about how we're going to prevent it from happening again.

No... I'm saying that we aren't talking about the definition of what happened last night. We are talking about how the media will spin this depending on the details and that instead of waiting to hear for something that will be able to be twisted for an agenda, we should be focusing on the real problem. Whether it is a dictionary-definition of terrorism or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
