This is radical white terrorism. Any attempts to label it anything else need to be called out Mind linking to where his motivation has been stated? Frisbeee is terrified of white people, so any crimes they commit is considered terrorism to him. Like, the dude is likely going to be proven to be a terrorist. That's why I don't understand what the outrage is in waiting for the facts and revelations before labelling it as anything. Before I get straw manned to hell, of course that same standard should be applied to any minority serial/mass killer. Oh, I don't disagree with you -- I consider this guy a terrorist also. But that fact that Frisbee thinks "Radical White" as a label is anything more than his racist insecurity showing is the point here. Isn't a white supremacist a white person radicalized over skin? Yes, but what so far is this indication of that profile fitting this dude? If you have any info pointing in that direction other than that he is a white, christian/conservation serial killer, please share it.

BTW, I don't think he is "not a terrorist". My point is terrorism has a specific definition but, while it is the likely outcome, he doesn't yet fit the definition. Once his motivations become more clear, we have better info with which to properly categorize him. There really isn't any excuse for you not being able to understand this. <cite>_RETS_ posted [p:898236565] in Austin bom...

Ammonitida 03/21/18 5:51:18 PM #257:	How is he a serial killer and not a terrorist? Technically, he's neither. No evidence that he was politically, religiously, or racially motivated and he didn't kill enough people to be classified as a serial killer. There was a Las Vegas killer preying on the homeless a few months ago (he was arrested). Since he only killed two people (wounded another two), law enforcement officials only referred to him as a would-be serial killer. <cite>Ammonitida posted [p:898236725] in Austin bom...
