I actually made a similar joke when I got to work, and one of the kids here said "but they're not white, they're Muslins." My IQ immediately dropped 10 points.

Just think, these are people who are allowed to give patients narcotics.

Car bombings and minimal-scale terrorist attacks have occurred quite frequently all over the world especially in Colombia, Iraq and numerous African nations; however, they do not get massive worldwide attention and news coverage because they occur in impoverished nations where the standard is to accept these common tragedies. Given the level of security and law enforcement in the US, accepting a tragedy like this is not accepted or common as of today. |

How in the hell was James Holmes (aka the Aurora shooter) not a "terrorist"?
He is the epitome of a terrorist. 56 people were killed in bombings in Iraq the very same day of the Boston shooting. |

I thought this was interesting:
Boston Police say Dzhokar killed Tamerlan "During a shootout with police on Thursday night, the older brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, exited the vehicle he was in and started walking down the street, shooting at officers. He ran out of ammunition when he was only five or ten feet away from police. One officer then tackles him, and he and two or three others try to handcuff him. As they try to handcuff the older brother, the younger brother comes barreling at them in the vehicle. The officers dive out of the way, and Dzhokar runs over his brother, dragging him for a short distance. Police think this is what killed him."

And that's what "terrorism" means me to me. Maybe I have something amiss. I see it as filling us with fear and terror but to me there is an irrational aspect to sheer "terrorism" that can't be ignored. An over-reaction. And that's the effect they are going for. And it's true in cases of mass shootings or bombings or whatever. I don't know if I'm right or not...but I don't see much difference. |

I don't consider one off psychopaths to be terrorists. There needs to be an ideology. The act itself isn't what defines terrorism, it's the fear and chaos created as a result of the terrorism and the fear that it may happen again. The 'terror' is the lasting impression and uncertainty. It's a means to an end

Terror has a political agenda / motive.
The Dark Knight movie shooting and Sandyhook were not terror. I have had ex-girlfriends terrorize me, they were not terrorists. |

Also as a paramedic, the last thing I'd want to have to do is write up the paperwork for the transports of either of those guys to the hospital, particularly the younger brother. Obviously it's a very minor thing in the entire scheme of this whole story, but it sounds like a documentation nightmare.

Yeah, and all the while knowing it'll be a document introduced at a federal trial.

Sandy Hook? Maybe not 'terrorism' as per definition though, still. But for the context of my own argument, I'm including it. Inadvertent terrorism. It has the same effect. |
