no, you really do need to have a political motive for it to be terrorism, just wanting people to cower before your godly power does not meet the definition

given that he had explosives, it does seem probable there is a political motive here, but i haven't seen anything reported yet to make it certain

Yeah exactly

Terrorism is not just a synonym for "really bad."

Yeah, it was a good ID.

Automatic weapons are not that easy to acquire in the first place, save for having money and no record.

Being able to sneak ammo and guns into a crowded hotel overlooking thousands of people means nobody suspected this guy of anything ever.

i could change the definition of terrorism, and you'd be like "he didn't commit terrorism because the definition of terrorism, according to this revised and updated definition means one who loves to suck massive cock" with the upmost of your conviction, unquestioning in your dogma

Well you either do something and it's within the realm of reason and you're sane by society's standards or if you do something out or the realm of reason your loving crazy.

And that explanation of oh I'm rich and bored is so loving stupid that no person within the realm of reason would do it for that.

terrorism has been incorrectly used to refer to all sorts of violence lately and it's messed up the de facto meaning of the word for a lot of people, but the political aspect of it is important in understanding why it happens and how it could be avoided

the fact that "terrorism" has a meaning separate from "mass violence" is in fact why some are angry that this guy is not being labeled a terrorist

that there's a double standard here where any muslim attacker would immediately be called a terrorist by the current administration muddies the waters

Tesla Misses Model 3 Production Goals
Electric-car maker built 260 Model 3s in latest period, missing out on goal of building 1,500

quote:

Tesla Inc. TSLA 0.13% badly missed its goal of building 1,500 Model 3 car in the third quarter, the first sign that the production ramp-up for the new sedan isn’t going as smoothly as planned.

The Silicon Valley electric-car maker built 260 of the Model 3s between July and September, the company said Monday in a statement. In August, the auto maker predicted it would build more than 1,500 Model 3s before cranking up production to 5,000 a week by the end of the fourth quarter.

Terrorism has always meant violent acts linked to a political goal or ideology.

I don't know why people are twisting it around to say this is terrorism. Maybe to fit it into their own political wishes.
