And why do we call the bad dude a terrorist? Is it because it just happens that he is Muslim or somebody just decided that? Acording to people that interviewed him, he found the bag in the park and he tought he'd make a quick buck. do we call all burglars/thieves/bank robbers terrorists? Or that applies only if you are Muslim?

It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

The guy was determined to get his "quota" before anybody else got him.

One of the other guys that saved folks on the train is on Dancing with the Stars. He was also enrolled at the college that had the mass shooting last week. If not for dancing with the stars, he would have been on campus when the shooting happened.
I'm sorry, but there is some freaky "Final Destination" type stuff going on with these guys.

The French police had the first shot at the interrogation and Acording to them, the guy declared that he found a duffle bag under a bench in the park and when he opened it he found the rifle, pistol, ammo for them and a vest and he boarded the train in Belgium. The tought in his head was that he could make some money by just flashing the weapons to the passengers. The first thing that the American press did was to declare him a terrorist and all of it just because of his name and because he is Muslim.
The story repeats itself with the Oregon shooter. Some right wing obscure journal, dug up some pictures of the guy and somehow they found a connection to none other than ISIS. Imagine that!

"He caused terror to a bunch of people on the train."
I understand that and I completely agree with the definition and the labeling of his actions. What bothers me is that the news media is publicizing all sorts of inaccurate things about this perpetrators that are untrue. Looks more like their intention is to label and associate them with groups that are unilaterally hated or disliked. I am assuming that is done with the scope of tilting/directing the public opinion towards an intended target. Lately, all of them seem to be labeled as extremist Muslims and that's not always the case. Sometimes is just a crazy dude with a gun! Period.
Could that be because the NRA run out of excuses for proper gun legislation and control?

I'll bet he is the first felon to actually be telling the truth to the police after his arrest.............. The Oregon shooting, ISIS connection, I am not familiar with

I have a Facebook friend whom is a very conservative republican and she keeps on posting articles by "chicks on the right", NRA and the likes. in one of those articles, the Oregon shooter was pictured in what it looked like his own apartment/house and in the background there was a folded ISIS flag or at least looked like. Very well photoshopped but very much out of place and context! However, the conservative media run with it and turned it into "news"!

Problem is some cops believe it is a conspiracy: forums.officer.com/t202012/These people scare me.
