It would shock the conscience of an honest journalist, but this author delivers, with a straight face, a complete media obfuscation on a par with "depends on what the meaning of is is"..

And again the use of the term ‘explosion’ instead of ‘bombing’ which has completely different meanings.

VIOLENCE IS MUCH LESS DANGEROUS THAN TERRORISM!!!
Or is it the other way around?
Or is the first one the result of the second one, but not in all cases. Or is it vice versa.
EITHER WAY, NOTHING TO SEE HERE!!!

There is no essential difference between the two. Both cases are intent to cause harm to others; and, both versions of perpetrators should be located and punished to the full extent of the deed.

No No No ... trying to “define” them as one or the other is wrong. This was TERRORISM, “violence” is something else. But the question is whether or not it is ISLAMIC TERRORISM, that’s what they won’t say, so they use “violence” instead.

the desperate, grasping, and wheedling attempts to control the narrative gets loonier with each passing day. Joe voter doesn’t give two shiites about word parsing. All they know is muslims probably set out to kill Americans..again, in the name of a religion they want nothing to do with..

New York City’s explosion investigation spotlights the blurry line between violence and terrorism What blurry line?
Most elected criminals are running around without a brain shouting that we don't know how the killer are tied to the KORANIMAL savage killers...
I DON'T GIVE A FLYING GUCK HOW OR IF THEY ARE RELATED.
Shoot all the SOBs on sight and let God sort them out...

Another lib weasel definition of “is” exercise. It’s sure as hell terrorism to the people injured in the blasts, no matter who initiated the bombings.

When liberals dont want to deal with a problem honestly or directly they start talking about “shades of gray,” “blurry lines,” “nuanced approach.”
It's their clever way of never needing to say “NO!” to terrorists, perverts, criminals, other liberals and aggrieved people of color.
They are so smart that what seems like common sense to me or you is for them a multi faceted prism that is beyond our perception.

we know how it works.. If an Islamist does it, it’s workplace violence, or a deranged lone individual...
If a white person or Christian defends their own rights, that’s classified as terrorism
I think soon the definition of terrorism will be any altercation with the government (or their protected entities), while violence will be defined as attacks against civilians. An Orwellian world we live in.
