Domestic Terrorism
Domestic terrorism in the United States consists of incidents confirmed as terrorist acts. These attacks are considered domestic because they were carried out by U.S. citizens or U.S. permanent residents.
If firing automatic weapons from above into a crowd of 25,000 people doesn't fit the definition of terror, then what does?
Went to bed late last night thinking for certain that I'd wake up to news about radical Islamic terrorists. Was surprised when I read about the shooter.
But then again, why was I? The top eight worst mass shootings in US history were not carried out in the name of Islam.
And prior to 9/11, the worst mass killing (Oklahoma City) was planned and carried out by a redneck who was pissed of at the goverment over Waco.
