T3ARS 4,132 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Thank you @Morphine Prince and everyone else for keeping us updated. This is heartbreaking It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences. - Audre Lorde Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there wasn't a political motive or background its not a terrorist attack. It doesn't make the attack less horrible, but we should name it what it is. For now there is no clear motive. Maybe he is a white supremacist, then it is a terrorist attack. Maybe there is not political background, then he is a mass-murderer. I understand what a "terrorist attack" is. I'm wording it an act of terror because that's what it was. A terrifying act. Sure the motives are needed so hopefully those concerns can be addressed. It still doesn't take away the tremendous loss suffered. I'm just dumbfounded and upset at the situation so excuse if my wording was confusing.

Terror is when the deliberate purpose of the act is to create fear, usually to spread a message. An act of Madness would be a person going on a "random" killing spree because of personal reasons. So while i do think this could very well be another case of Terror. It's still very important that we don't judge it until we know more about the driving force behind the gunman. I understand that. IMO if a white American shoots into a crowd of hundreds and thousands of Americans, that's as much a terror attack as anything else. I just wanna make sure people know when I say "terror" Im not suggesting anything. It IS important to know what the purpose was. Regardless, it does create a broad fear among us. It's just crazy.

Terror has a definition. This could be a mass shooting, a massacre, there are so many things you can call it instead of terror. When you use that word it will be interpreted as what you're saying it is... terrorism. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a mass murder. I think that can be defined different ways, in my opinion. There's bigger things to handle right now than the definition of terrorism. That wasn't my intention. 💙 The Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than The Driver Of The Screw Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
