    how long until trump blames obama?

    You can bet he's working on a tweet right now. His tweets aren't simple, 'off the cuff' tweets as much as they look like they are. They are done to the best of his abilities every time. 

    He scratches his orange head, plays with his wisp of hair, digs out belly button lint, and wipes the sweat from underneath his boobs before he finally settles on his words. He's the best Tweeter. He's very smart. The smartest maybe even.

    And it seems as if every sporting event these days features a moment of silence for killed people somewhere- like today's WS game.

    what is your point?
    Point is what defines terrorism and then when is there a rush to apply the label, and when is there resistance to apply it.

    Brutal.

    Shitbird tried running away. Why run away shitbird? Why not stick around and revel in your glory?
    Let s hope the FBI extracts some vital information from this guy. 
    I m glad they got him alive. Either the cop had bad aim or had a heck of a lot of restraint. 
    He's not white, I'm going with bad aim. 
    Wait, what, why?
    Consider that that post was from the same person who had their earlier inappropriate post deleted.

    Oh shoot.

    Sorry. I misinterpreted your post. You're saying this guy is not a terrorist and this was not an act of terrorism. At least I think that's what you are saying?

    I think he's saying... one way or another... it's a terrorist act. Likely by some religious fanatic that thinks he's doing God's work.

    When do we have to not worry about Unicorn worshippers with Unicorn horns stabbing random people? 

    seems like an insane concept ....

    The incident is being investigated as terrorism, officials said. Witnesses reported the suspect was yelling "Allahu Akbar," according to four law enforcement sources. The FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force is taking over the lead of the investigation.

    "This was an act of terror, and a particularly cowardly act of terror," New York Mayor Bill de Blasio said, "aimed at innocent civilians, aimed at people going about their lives who had no idea what was about to hit them."

     President Donald Trump tweeted that the incident "looks like another attack by a very sick and deranged person." In a later tweet, he wrote, "My thoughts, condolences and prayers to the victims and families of the New York City terrorist attack. God and your country are with you!"

    Authorities think it is an act of terror because the driver said something moments after leaving the truck and the method of the attack were consistent with other terrorist attacks, New York Police Commissioner James P. O'Neill said. Vehicles have been used as weapons in a number of terrorist attacks in recent years, including in deadly incidents in Nice, France, and London.

    My guess is that if you asked any of the people who were there if they were terrorized they'd say yes.

    Truck attack = terrorism

    Attack with a gun = gun violence, mass shooting, not terrorism.

    Check.

    Has Hillary Clinton demanded mufflers be banned because the people getting run over wouldn't hear the truck?

    I'm not sure how you're coming to this conclusion?

    so all mass shootings are terrorism?  are you trying to say that what happened in new york today was not an example of terrorism?

    And if he yelled God hates sinners, Jesus saves, would that be evidence of terrorism? My point is not just to debate a definition, but if the Patriot act gets applied, then Constitutional rights get waived. It also guides the dialogue and intervention based in how we define it.

    but he didn't yell any of those things so why play the "what if" game?  facts are facts.
