Alright, so lets see how my initial speculations on this killer turned out, now that we have a bit more information.
My source: http://xfinity.comcast.net/articles/...oting.Suspect/
1) White guy? Check.
2) Came from a well-to-do affluent neighborhood? Check.
3) "May have" a personality disorder (because black gangbangers couldn't possibly have those; they're just hoodlums and thugs!)? Double Fucking Check.
Why isn't this a terrorist attack?
i picked a good day to watch piers morgan
Because of 9/11. You can't be a terrorist post-9/11 unless you're either a muslim or support them.
Good ol' domestic slaughter no longer counts.
I want to say that you don't need a motive to be a terrorist so long as you commit the crime, but that may not be true.
Terrorism is the motive.
Edit: The motive can be x/y/z, but the goal of the action is achieved through terror. It is the enabling factor.
Murder 5 people, serial killer.
Murder 5 people in washing machine effigies in order to gain attention to injustices performed against colored laundry machines in 3rd world cities like detroit is terrorism.
People are so hung up with labeling something a "terrorist" attack just to prove some irrelevant point.

20/20 doing a report now.
piers morgan is fucking epic right now. I have a friend who turned the gun on himself and survived somehow. At the same time, that same friend said he never thought about hurting others just himself so it could be over. That was a decade and two years ago got me thinking about him. This will sound low, but i kind of wish the gunman choose to take himself earlier in life or even a day ago vs what actually happened but yeah Piers was epic and Anderson just doing an overview of the day. Sad day
Dammit, I want to see that piers Morgan interview.
Nvm, looks like replay at 11cst.
No, he's kinda right. I deal with matters of terrorism somewhat and it usually falls under associating with a known terrorist, denying someone right under the constitution or attempting to disrupt or overthrow the government. That's why I had to take a step back and think about it for a bit.
Terrorism, in the military sense, doesn't just mean "sowing terror"; the intent behind the act is what constitutes terrorism.
This kid was a bastard, however.
