The declaration by Chief Brian Manley came during a panel discussion this morning hosted by the local NPR station KUT that was focused on the handling of the bombings. "I actually agree now that he was a domestic terrorist for what he did to us," Manley said, according to KUT. "This is a distinction I wanted to make today," Manley said, according to The Austin American-Statesman.During the panel, Manley reportedly said that he hadn't made that declaration earlier because "I was so focused that we put a stop to it" but he felt appropriate categorizing it as domestic terrorism "for what it did to our community," The Statesman reported. The terrorism label is significant because authorities, including Manley, had not used that classification previously. i think it's fair to call him a terrorist. --- http://imgur.com/2Qfzt9X.jpg https://i.imgur.com/qlXpj2E.jpg https://i.imgur.com/rPe48jC.jpg http://i.imgur.com/5xltd3r.jpg <cite>dreamvoid posted [p:898723934] in Austin pol...

Ammonitida 03/30/18 9:48:34 AM #27:	voldothegr8 posted... Why does it matter? Can we not just label him a piece of shit subhuman filth and leave it at that? It matters because the bomber was white and the left believes in the false narrative that there exists a double standard in how the media applies the "terrorist" label. The narrative goes like this; White mass murderer = mentally ill In the vast majority of cases, white mass murderers are either infamy seekers or disgruntled workplace shooters, neither of which fall under "terrorism". Muslim mass murderer = terrorist That's because in all but two cases, Muslim mass murderers have been motivated by either religion or politics. The exceptions are the Turkish-American Mall shooter in 2016 who was an infamy seeker and the 2014 Santa Monica school shooter, also an infamy seeker. Neither were called terrorists by any major media outlet, though in the case of the mall shooter, some in the media speculated a possible Islamist motivation because of his Turkish background. Black mass murderer = thug This is never true. Most such murderers have been labeled mentally ill (see Aaron Alexis as an example), unless they were racially motivated, in which case they were called terrorists or just racists. https://www.rt.com/usa/385359-fresno-shooter-racist-not-terrorist/ Fresno shooter not a terrorist, but a racist police <cite>Ammonitida posted [p:898758848] in Austin pol...

It's not about making me feel better it's about how when you point out he fits the dictionary definition of terrorism jimmies get rustled. He barely fits one online dictionary definition, which is a bizarre source to be using in the first place. He does not fit the FBI's definition of "domestic terrorist" at all, and that would seem much more appropriate since they're the official organization for designating terrorist groups.

Terrorism is (1) the attack (2) on innocents (3) for a political end. You need all three elements. If it makes the police chief feel better to label him a terrorist, go for it. But its an inaccurate use of the word. You're saying he had no political end? lol. What was his political goal? He had a thing against liberals and minorities, so he chose to bomb directly a bunch of minorities, and then when that became too hard to keep pulling off he had to settle for trigger bombs to keep the liberal city full of fear. He had a blog full of ultra-conservative and ultra-religious rants, and we are not even allowed to see his confessional tape for some reason, even though news stations and PDs are usually real happy to share other attacker's manifestos. Source? You won't find it all in a single article. You can look at who the first 3 attacks got. Then you can look at the other attacks.

After the media started warning people in the East Austin area to not pick up strange packages on porches, he went out of his comfort zone and set a trip wire bomb on a road in a predominately white neighborhood, injuring two people. He did run an ultra conservative blog when he was 17, but there's no evidence that these views played any part in his motive. <cite>Ammonitida posted [p:898759576] in Austin pol...

Domestic terrorism or homegrown terrorism is terrorism targeting victims "within a country by a perpetrator with the same citizenship" as the victims.[1] There are many definitions of terrorism, and no universally accepted definition.
