Still. This was a series of terror acts. They need to find out what his motive was and who knew. I think I also read where he had roommates?
Yes, so how do you know THOSE folks are ANTIFA? Let me guess, Crox News?
Austin is 'liberal' only in comparison to the rest of Texas. It's not that liberal.
it was a series of murders and attempted murders. Until we find out motive, (and then if the motive was something that would fit the definition of terrorism) it can't really be called terrorism.
Leaving explosive packages at random locations isn't terrorism?
Only if you are leaving explosive packages at those locations to create terror among civilians in order to achieve a financial, political, religious or ideological aim (from the definition of the word).
if you're simply leaving them there because you are a murderer trying to murder people, you're not a terrorist, you're a murderer (or serial killer). just as a serial killer who, say, stabs people in their bedrooms, causes terror among the populace but isn't usually a terrorist.
Guess you would had to have been in Austin for the last 3 weeks. People were literally terrified.
That still doesn't make it terrorism. I'm terrified of snakes - if someone leaves a snake in my bathtub, they're a d!ck, not a terrorist. Sorry, but words have actual meanings.
Up until we have a least a mediocre idea of what this guys actual intentions were, I'll leave it as random domestic terrorism.
Section 802 of the Patriot Act, passed after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, defines domestic terrorism as an act "dangerous to human life" that violates state or federal criminal laws, if it intended to do any of the following : intimidate or coerce a civilian population; seek to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or attempt to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination or kidnapping.
Random serial bombings, yes. Not terrorism.
The guy looked a White Trash terrorist to me
And you look like a commie instigator to me. *shrug*

You just proved his point. Terrorism needs to have a political motive.

You don't need a poltical motive to want to intimidate a population. You just want to make people scared.
