Beautiful, good-natured dog, but if he crapped on my lawn I would be terrorized.

Going Postal I.E. Work-place violence
Terrorist attack
A little of both

Apparently some of the talk show pundits seem to think getting fired and later returning to your former place of employment to kill your former co-workers is terrorism. Most people would call that going postal or work place violence, not terrorist. Getting pissed off because you lost your job as far as I know are not one of the reasons a terrorist murders someone.

This depends on why the person was fired in the first place.

That's not what I asked.

I heard the guy was suspended, not fired. Is that inaccurate? I also heard he is a convert to Islam. Is that inaccurate? Is beheading a victim in any way unusual? Do you not think it appropriate to investigate this incident thoroughly? Has the investigation been completed? Why are libs so reluctant to consider the possibility that this assailant might be a jihadi?

To take it a little further, the man went to a different part of the building and found 2 women that had nothing to do with what happened to him.

If he had gone postal, as some say here, why didn't he do it to the people that were directly involved in what happened to him?

I agree. Terrorism has a point, something it wants to accomplish. It's meant to instill terror in a population. Violence can only do that when there's a threat of continued violence.

Does that not fit the case here?

Wasn't Jayne Mansfield decapitated when her car rear-ended a semi?
Of course, that was a long, long time ago.



Well, if we can arrest a drunk ISIS agent who illegally crossed our southern border, carrying a crate of machetes, we could make a case.
It would help if he has the Ebola virus......and maybe owns a pit bull.....and commits a drive-by beheading.....

I had a Buick much like her car but it never tried to behead me. I don't think you can blame the car in her case. She didn't wear a seat belt.

I don't know what it is with libs, and why they are so loath to even examine the possibility that an act of terror may have been committed.

Not that I'm aware of. What could he have been trying to accomplish?

Since we are being told from all sides that the ISIS threat is not in the US, maybe he was trying to show that is wrong.

maybe we will see more beheadings inside the US, maybe not, but now he has thinking people wondering about it.

Why did he come back and attack two women that had nothing to do with what happened to him?

They were in a different building from where he worked.

Was it because they were women and women have no value for Muslims?

Maybe. I'd have thought that he'd make his motives known if terrorism was the reason for the attack but since it's pretty much a given that he wasn't firing on all eight, mental-health-wise, just about anything's possible, I guess.

I believe there was some postings on some social media pages from him.

All that is being downplayed for some reason. You don't hear much about it.

For someone who claims not to speak bigotese you seem quite fluent.

Just what this board needed, more partisan hackery.

It was merely an observation. Do you admonish leftist partisan hackery equally?

It is clearly evident that many liberals on this site do not want to even consider the possibility that this incident could have been an act of terrorism. How does my pointing out this obvious fact, make me a "partisan hack"?

It's a semantic designation. Do you run or jog? Do you lift weights or strength train? Do you eat dinner or supper? Are you tired or sleepy? Are you happy or elated?

Let's say we call it terrorism, what does that change? Should we simply classify all murders committed by Muslims regardless of the circumstances as terrorism? Should a beheading always be considered terrorism regardless of who commits it or what their motivation was?

There are over 40,000 intentional homicides a year in this country. We kill each other at a higher rate than in any other developed first world nation on earth. In fact, at the rate that Americans die by terrorism in this country, it would take terrorists about 2 centuries to kill as many Americans as we kill each other in any given year. So what is the point other than trying to stoke xenophobic fearmongering is there in trying to classify what was obviously a psychopath engaging in workplace violence as terrorism?

Around 28,000 of those are suicides IE self inflicted.

Depends on who does the killing and who is the victim. If the killer is a Muslim and the victim(s) is (are) non Muslims of any race, it's considered workplace violence. If the killer is homosexual and the victim isn't, it's workplace violence. However, if the killer is a Christian and the victim isn't, it's automatically deemed based on religion or is the killer is white and the victim is anything other than white, it's automatically deemed a racially motivated or hate crime.

It's not what happened that determines for many what it is but the parties involved. The way I see it, all are hate crimes because you don't do things like that in a loving way regardless of the demographics of those involved.

If this was an act of terrorism as you say then why didn't he do this before being suspended or fired and escorted to the parking lot(I would think if that if they have to escort you out of the building then that suspension is really a firing)?Because it looks like to anyone with common sense that his motives are rooted in the suspension/firing and being escorted out of the building, not because of his muslim faith.

I never said it was an act of terrorism. I was merely wondering why liberals refuse to even entertain the possibility.
