I saw this on FB today, and it had me thinking. And I'm not saying he's right or he's wrong, but it made me think. Take a gander at it, and see what do you think? I'm NOT wanting to hear a bunch of "this group is this, and the other is that". No need being we seem to do that everyday on here. Just look and listen to what is said and honestly ask "is there a chance this could be right? Are we too blind to see that we have a problem with terrorism by our own countrymen, but if you fit a few stereotypes you will be called a terrorist from the beginning?

Dylann Roof is. Eric Rudolph is. Timothy McVeigh was. All who commit or conspire to commit murder or destruction who specifically target noncombatant civilians for the sake of an ideology are terrorists. Those who commit murder because they are having a bad day are just murdering POS's.

100% agree MSG. Just in this threads case, soliciting thoughts. I don't want to argue being no one will change how they feel, but could add knowledge that could help others.

My apologies. Is there a chance that Americans are running a double standard when calling acts of terror TERRORISM?

Of course. Terrorism in America is classified by who you kill and who is doing the killing. Minorities terrorizing minorities for years tends to be labeled gang violence for instance.

SPC Makissa Lewis - That much hasn't changed. Look at the Chi for instance. That would change the second the VL, LK, GD, Bloods, AB, whatever began hitting other targets and not each other.

Websters defines terrorism as: the use of violent acts to frighten the people in an area as a way of trying to achieve a political goal.

I know, but if you dig further, you'll see that every section of the federal government to include DOD all have their own definition. I used the FBI's earlier being it was convent.
