Well if you use “rear” to describe the upbringing of children rather than “raise” my hopes for civilization are not extinguished after all.

Precision in language is important not just because of rules of usage but because he who controls the language controls the argument. We know where that leads and what falsehoods fly under that flag.

I disagree that it was an act of terrorism (based on what we know at this time)mostly because we do not yet know motive if any. Yes people were terrorized but that is true of any violent incident.

I don’t think it was an act of terrorism either, actually.

If he showed up there with the idea that he was going to run people down, he deserves whatever he gets. If it was an act of passion, maybe a little less. But if it is the “kid was scared and running from rock throwers, I’d maybe give him involuntary manslaughter.

But I’m just thinking out loud based on what little information we actually have.
