If we are referring to mentally unstable, crazy, nutbags, then no it is not terrorism. Was Jeffrey Dahmer, or James Holmes a terrorist, or were they crazy people?

So terrorists aren't crazy people? You don't think they're crazy to do what they do?

Good question. Why are so many repeat felons still allowed to roam among the law abiding?

On the OP, people want to have an enemy. In regards to domestic crime, black people are their enemy they blame. For any other crimes around the world they blame the Muslims. All the while all these "crazy" white guys go around shooting up kids and clinics and movie theaters and no one thinks white guys are "terrorists" or have a "culture of violence."

It is silly.
OK, I'm off a little bit but Baltimore is worse than ever:

I know Crazy whether it be Michael Brown, the White Clinic Killer, or some Crazy Radical Muslim. Regular Black or White people are of no threat.

In the case of ISIS, Al Queda or the Boka Haram that would be mass Psychosis.

I am not paying any attention to ISIS except for the the fact we caused it by destabilizing national governments and started to import them.

Lets import people from these places and be shocked, shocked I tell ya....

Import people who are given to tribalism and killing each other and people are shocked this happens when they move as if it magically changes them.

Why are they only focusing on Americans and not illegals or immigrants they are bringing in without knowing who they really are. How can they vet someone who is only giving information they want our government to have? How do we even know the children they are bringing in are theirs? Honesty, I guess!

Probably your answer to every question would be No because you are a leftist and your principle purpose in life is to criticize and degrade Americans.
Dead is dead!! A paranoid conservative shooting up PP office may not be as gruesome sounding to you but it must be very terrible to wonder what your loved one went through before being shot or waiting their turn. AND innocent.

The gross numbers don't matter when it is your family member just got shot. ISIS makes videos of there stuff. WE have no way of knowing if the dead in Co were taunted or not.

From your post you just the same as imply that you want to stifle free speech. You might just be a ISIS Sleeper as far as anyone of us know for sure.
