US Attorney calls the act "domestic terrorism" and then some FBI Special Agent backpedals and says it may be a "criminal act"... What would make it merely a criminal act in your opinion? Is it a PC precaution because the shooter's name is Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez?

Maybe we should arm the armed forces.

No they do not allow military personnel to carry in these reserve centers... but thanks for the obvious of not knowing the facts

Terrorism. But this President wont say that because the benefits will change for the familes.

I read this too. Its hard to be objective when 4 of my brothers are dead. My gut tells me that this was an act of terrorism. For it to be criminal I would think that the Marines would have been chosen at random which doesn't seem to be the case. No other recruiting office had bullet holes in it to my knowledge.

The Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps recruiting offices were all hit, but for it to be criminal, it would have to be even more random... Like hitting a drycleaners, or donut shop.
"The gunman first shot up a recruiting center before driving to the Navy Operational Support Center and Marine Corps Reserve Center and killing four Marines before he was shot..." (that's a seven mile trip, so there was ample opportunity to be random..)

I agree that they were targeted. As they investigate this more and dig into his background I'm sure it will come to light that this was not random and was an act of terrorism.

They weren't killed at the recruiting office, they were killed at the Navy Support Center 7 miles away. But I do agree with your point wholeheartedly.

What do you think Sgt Enfinger? With a name like his, I don't really give a rat's ass about political correctness, it is terrorism. It takes a coward to shoot unarmed people, whether they are service men or women or just simply civilians. They are cowards.
