    Las Vegas "Terrorist Attack"

    Nowhere on any articles the "shooter" is labelled as terrorist, just an old white gunman out on crazed shooting spree.

    Tell me, does it have to be religious (specifically Islamic) driven to be considered as "terrorism"?

    Media (esp Fairfax) pisses me off greatly evermore.


    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

    The definition of Terrorism is to effect a Political change.

    Killing for the sake of Mayhem and destruction isn't Terrorism.

    Although ISIS have claimed this - they've claimed things before - waiting for more details.

    64 retired accountant with load of money on him and with some gambling problems. So doubt he is an ISIS recruit doesn't fit the profile.
    Most ISIS recruits are young half broke and wants revenge of a pass incident or attack that might mentally disturb him for unknown reason.

    Yes - terrorism is politically motivated - no politics no terrorism.

    Typical of errant accountants - was probably loaded with "other peoples money" - maybe even ISIS money - that could be the connection!

    Seemingly not a 'terrorist' as there was no apparent agenda, just a nutjob with lots of guns, in a country where it's far too easy to get lots of guns.

    I wonder if the greater population of 'merica will one day make the connection and demand change.......

    not sure whats worse... looney person going off nut, or terrorists.

    Terrorism is about instilling fear to force another party to change something.

    The old saying "one mans terrorist = another mans freedom fighter", Nelson Mandela, Irgun, Mujaheedin, American revolutionaries etc depends on which side of history you are on.

    Don't expect much from Trump in regards to how piss easy it is to get assault rifles. In the past his comments around public shootings have been that
    if victims or bystanders had of been armed they could have taken out the shooter earlier.

    That's what I too think.

    I've just never seen a white guy labelled as "terrorist" on the papers. But if it's a Muslim or any brown skinned guy with a gun = automatic terrorist.


    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

    It depends on which side of the law you're on.

    Terrorism is historically defined as acts of war by organised groups outside of the rules governing national armed forces legally at war.

    In theory that includes national forces acting outside those rules.

    It doesn't include solo nutters, no matter how profoundly upset by country music they might be.
