If this is directed at me, I would say it is more relevant than mentioning Florida and second I want to see how they label it. If the guy was Muslim it will be labeled terrorism, otherwise, it is a hate crime and mentally disturbed
Already being called a domestic terrorist act. Honestly your implication that the "label" has anything to do with race or religion is offensive. An act is an act. terrorism is terrorism, murder is murder. Doesn't matter the demographics of the perpetrator.
Might not to you, but to the word if a muslim guy throws a bomb at a hospital then most would look at is terrorism. if a regular person shoots up a school like in florida they will call it murder, but if a muslim does it the media will label it as a act of terrorism.
Thats just how it works in the U.S.
I have yet to hear of a school shooting called terrorism. The act and intent defines the label. Has nothing to do with the demographics of the person. Ted Kaczynski domestic terrorist. White guy. Austin perpetrator Domestic terrorist white guy. Florida shooter, mass murderer. White/hispanic.
You implication of defining the US as racist against people who practice Islam is offensive.
If someone has pledged allegiance to ISIS and goes and shoots up a government building..... terrorism. California. Intent was clear by internet footprint. Florida Nightclub shooter, homophobic terrorist. Intent was clear by history and internet footprint.
Lady who drove her car down the sidewalks in Las Vegas killing people..... batshit crazy(not sure of the legal term). Black woman
Las Vegas Shooter...... domestic terrorist/ white guy.
