Police: Gunman kills two at N.J. supermarket

Personally, I am just sad that an 18 and 26 year old died. They had barely just started their lives.

It is unbelievably heartbreaking and I think one victim was three days away from a birthday.
 
Coercing people into wearing something is not ideological. He or she could simply just love the color orange





Then please humor me and tell me what the motivation is for the work place homicides in the OP.



Posters will tell you that your position is wrong and will show the same or similar definitions of terrorism that you have been shown multiple times through out this thread.


Wanting to force people to wear orange is an ideology being pushed and why it would be domestic terrorism.

You tried to claim revenge was the motive and like others instead of learning the facts before posting you just toss stuff out.

Wanting people to wear orange is not a ideology.Its wanting people to wear orange because you like the color orange.

The humor us and tell us what the motive is for a work place homicides in the OP since you seem to know what it is.
 
The very reason I am not using domestic terrorism is because it does not apply by definition.
Slapping any word in front of the word terrorism and trying to use it to apply to a crime that has nothing to do with terrorism is still a incorrect usage of the word terrorism.

It is terrorism and if you don't believe me, ask the survivors if they were terrified.

It is not traditional terrorism which is why I call it ST

Look, you don't address the def I gave and all you keep doing is complaining about the term so either address the definition and criteria and show why it is wrong or stop wasting your time.

You still don't get it. The fact the shooter wanted to push people to wear orange shows a specific agenda and I don't care if you call it an ideology or not. The mere fact he had a specific goal in mind other than murder is why it is domestic terrorism. Even murder is not the goal because it is only the tool for the agenda.

The fact you claimed he did it out of revenge when that has not been shown proves facts are not your top priority.
 
Nobody is making politics of it and it is disgusting that mourning the loss of their lives is feigned just so a cheap shot can be thrown.
You've been trying to make this political the whole time.
 
Explain how........
You don't think trying to use a made up definition of terrorism isn't playing politics? Really? Even when everyone showed you why you are completely wrong? Really? Can't see it?

I am sure if you ask a rape victim,burglary/home invasion victim, armed robbery victim, car jacking victim or a victim of some other violent crime if they were terrified they will say they were terrified.

It is not traditional terrorism which is why I call it ST.

Its not terrorism at all. So you are wrong.

You have been shown multiple times how you are wrong.You can't slap any word in front of the word terrorism and change the definition to something that has nothing to do with terrorism. There is state-terrorism, bio-terrorism, Eco-terrorism, religious-terrorism and other types of terrorism.The one thing they have in common is “the unlawful use of force and violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives”.

Every word and definition in every language has been invented.

You can't show I have been playing politics with it so you are just looking for something to complain about. As usual.

It's okay you cannot comprehend why it is social terrorism.

By people familiar with the subject matter, credentials you haven't demonstrated.

Yes I can, and did. Why would you insist on creating a term for a criminal charge specific to motives and actions not displayed in this shooting if there were no political motives behind it?

You are failing to comprehend why the shootings in the story is not any form of terrorism. What you are doing amounts to calling a chocolate cake a T-Bone steak.Now if the chocolate cake looked like a T-bone steak,was the shape of a t-bone steak or was made out of a t-bone steak then you might be justified in calling a chocolate t-bone steak cake.The crime in the OP story has nothing to do with terrorism.So you are not justified in calling the crime in the OP story a form of terrorism.

You didn't explain how I am making it political. You tossed out the ridiculous accusation because you can't actually respond to the definition and criteria of social terrorism I've spelled out.

In fact, not a single person who has been constantly whining about has actually addressed it.

You are failing to comprhend why it is terrorism because you are allergic to new concepts.

It doesn't have anything to do with being allergic to new concepts. The fact is the shootings in the OP story don't have squat to do with terrorism. If the shooter had some note saying he was coerce or intimidate the government or segment of the population to do something with his two murders and a suicide then it would be terrorism.

There was a time when the terms bio and eco terrorism did not exist but were created to aptly describe a certain kind of terrorism. Social terrorism is doing the same thing.

Test my definition if you are so sure it is meaningless.
 
Look, Furry. Why don't you just take it as read that no one buys your new term, and just cut to the chase -- where are you going with this? What's your conclusion? Bring it home.

I really don't care if a couple of people in a thread who whine and refuse to address the actual contents say they don't like it. I really don't.

And you dodge the actual question. Why is that?
 
It is called social terrorism because that is the most accurate description and not all terrorism is motivated by politics. Lynching was a form of social terrorism that had nothing to do with politics and everything to do with the social ill of racism. Yes. White people were lynched. White people who helped black people.

It also has nothing to do with trying to demonize gun owners of anyone else. Please accept my apologies for having the rude audacity to notice a trend of social terrorism and discuss it to help understand what is happening.

If anyone in this country is in need of you to tell them what is going on then we are in much worse shape than previously thought!

Bio and eco terrorism are terrorism because of “the unlawful use of force and violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives”. Bio and eco just specify what type of terrorism it is.


Social terrorism is doing the same thing.

Not the way you are using it. You are ignoring the "intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives” part. You have to have that in order for a violent crime to be an act of terrorism.


Test my definition if you are so sure it is meaningless.


Social-

denoting or relating to human society or any of its subdivisionsip, communal activity, etc



Terrorism-

“the unlawful use of force and violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives”.

Sorry but the crime in the OP has nothing to do with terrorism.

Your posts are like a 75 foot thick brick wall. Do you see the part you underlined? I've addressed that several times in this thread and you still ignore it. Have fun.
