Terrorist is defined as unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims- We completely understand the definition. Especially the last part.
So essentially violence must be politically motivated to truly and dearly constitute terrorism. That's officials take on this.
Whether or not this guy met the criteria and definition, we know as a fact he created extreme distress and fear amongst innocent children and teachers at school. By definition he TERRORISED them. No mention of that word either- interesting.
It's not ISIS soldiers who are behind the most disgusting mass shootings in schools and concerts in the US, its White American men like paddock, roof, and Adam Lanza also.
Dont get me wrong those who decide it's ok to create extreme distress and terror in any nation deserve to be called and described by the most atrocious of ways to describe evil. But so do white Americans terrorising people and they should not be displayed as "lone wolves" or even "gunman" it simply does not weigh out their actions.
James Alex Fields is a white American man killing Heyer when he plowed his car into Charlottesville crowd with the alleged Political motivation of targeting counter protesters - sorry? Politically motivated? But.. No mention whatsoever of a Terrorist, Extremist? You and me both deep down now for a fact. For a fact that there is more media coverage against Muslims- you see I simply couldn't care less about the terrorists who do this- but as a result of negative coverage using ways to suit medias agenda, this is having serious implications on Muslims all around the world. It means we go sleep in our cosy beds whilst muslims, innocent families suffer because of approach taken by media. Fact.
When "radicalised islamic terrorists" attack we wage war against them, I mean come on Trump does it anyway with the absence of attacks anyway- banning Muslims into US, sharing videos of Britain first-? Islamaphobia at its prime.
Trump and officials may very well declare terrorism when it suits them, but everyone know what happened on Wednesday was terrorism against innocent civilians. But what's sad is for those who lost their lives on that day, we have to say 'oh sorry mate it was just another shooting, not terrorism' - when someone has extreme views like this they simply don't care about the political implications, they just want to terrorise- its sad how the murderer needs a political view to then justify being called terrorist. I'm sure if political aims were held, they wouldnt be called terrorist anyway just like media swerved from calling James Alex a White terrorist he was.
Muslim terrorist attacks- borders are closed, hatred spread, severe actions taken. Then please tell me, allegedly a 'mentally unstable' terrorist shoots civilians- why is trump avoiding discussions over gun control in his tweet. For sure if I was a victim, I'd want immediate gun control legislations in place to ensure no atrocity like this ever happens again. So after Las Vegas shootings, Orlando, Texas and now parkland school- it sounds as these 'unstable' extremists don't pose a risk until terror is committed.
