Had the bomber had brown skin and been a Muslim it would have been a terrorist attack INSTANTLY but because he was a white Christian (I'm white before you jump On that one) we have tried to find every other reason as to why he would do this.we dont want to call him a terrorist because that would say some Christians could be also and that takes them off the higher moral ground they set up for themselves.. I have been sick watching this. Truth in journalism? i don't think so. I go to TYT
I think people instinctively call him 'crazy' instead of a terrorist because he has a dirty scraggily white santa beard with non-matching spikey died brown hair and eyes that look like they haven't closed in weeks.
Contrast with, say, the marathon bombers who looked like two regular kids.
I think people are more scared of the guys we can't identify, and it's reflected in the news. This guy shooting up PP makes sense, because he appears to be a crazy person, and we believe we have a bit of control (even if incorrectly) over identifying and avoiding such people.
