I went to a coworkers house for some drinks this weekend, and when I was drunk one of my coworker's 8 year old son challenged me to a race in some sonic racing game on like ps3 or 4 or something. I had never played it before and I was pretty drat drunk, but I kicked that kids rear end both times. I was really proud of myself.

piggybacking here, the definition of terrorism is actually an unsettled question and is of extreme debate amongst terrorism scholars. My terrorism professor who worked at the pentagon told us the first day if we could come up with a definition of terrorism that everyone could agree on, that person would likely win a nobel prize for it

god bless that person who does, because then all the issues would have actually been addressed with regards to both experience and legality :patriot:

doesn't terrorism require a political objective or goal

So what if he did it to spur legislation on gun control? Would that make it more or less likely to happen?

I'm thinking his actual motive, if any, is irrelevant to the gun debate.

The Legal Definition of Terrorism Armchair Quarterback has logged on.

Sorry folks, these people who were pinned down by the concrete dividers, screaming in hysteria as bodies drop around them, as per their experience, did not deal with terrorism, because the legal definition basically lets me slide it into another category so the goal posts can be moved and different set of ideas and parameters can be attacked, so we can go ahead and misdirect the line of argument, bing bong so simple.

Oh right, gently caress the victims by the way for being terrorized when its not the legal definition of terrorism, they should have been downgraded to "just really really scared."

all of these definitions require an intent to cause fear. almost all of them require the state as a target or a political/ideological motive or even just an individual criminal agenda

so this guy doesn't fit any of these 8 definitions until he has some kind of motivation or intent to coerce or a goal in general

No, it requires mass hysteria from an act of violence. It doesn't matter what your motives are, even if you are bored rich white man indulging in his final wish. That alone is a belief.
