Are you surprised?

The magic word in there is "white"

Your shocked the Quebec massacre they avoided the fact the suspect was white .Now were surprised they pull this nonsense again . I wonder how much of this we will see in the near future (I hope none but that would be to optimistic )

Because what we classify as terrorists here are the brown people overseas who worship allah, yaweh, the same damn christian god.

The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers.

The FBI has been classifying such attacks and their perpetrators as terrorists, with regularity, for as long as they've been collecting data on terrorism. They don;t shy away from telling us that domestic terrorism has been a far greater threat than foreign terrorism, or that the most likely perpetrator of a terrorist attack on american soil is a white christian male.

Or, at least...they didn't..I haven't checked their web page recently, they may have taken down their wonderfully informative link on terrorism in the US, lol.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

It's funny how both sides of the politically ally both complain that not enough people are labeled as terrorists. Right wing people started this crap and now the left wing decided that it's also good to label every mass killer as a terrorist. I'm old enough to remember when nobody considered any mass shooter to be a terrorist. Considering that you get special prosecutorial powers and special detaining powers against terrorists, I can see the appeal for those in charge. Why everyday citizens what more people to be labeled as terrorists is beyond me. I think we'd be better off using the label, and the additional powers that go with it in as limited a manner as possible or getting rid of it and the 'war on terror' altogether. Once that was a popular idea, now even good well meaning left wing people want to expand the war on terror.

Its a frightening world.
