Or enough info has not been released yet to determine the motive. Americans, as well as citizens from other countries, have been labeled terrorists and working with them.

But the term "Terrorism" is often thrown around so haphazardly when the perpetrator is not of a predominantly white background. alex_d2w, 300z, MightyJordan and 1 other 4 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly didn't get it either. There are 2 dangers to an invisible /s at the end of such statement: 1. Text doesn't make your intentions and intonation clear 2. Some people strongly believe that what you stated is the solution to violence Ice_Blue and Brys 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So whether or not you find it beneficial, many do. And do you know that people are not donating as well? TPreston 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're blanket covering my post in that comment, you've not noticed the post was a reference as to what makes this a terrorist incident. A mass shooting of any sort is an act of terror when the intention was to harm and kill as many as possible. 300z 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
