They turned the Ft Hood shooter over to the local police, too. Remember, it’s not terrorism, just garden variety crime under Bambi’s new rules. Bambi doesn’t believe there’s such a thing as Islamic terrorism.
The difference between crime and terrorism is that terrorism is meant to impose or promote an ideology through instilling terror, while crime has a personal motive (gain, revenge, etc.). The nut who flew into the IRS bldg was not a terrorist, because he was acting out of a grudge against the IRS (and George Bush!) and not trying to promote an ideology. But the Ft Hood Muslim shooter was certainly trying to promote an ideology, and hence was a terrorist and shouldn’t have been in a local jail.
We shall see how this one turns out, but I honestly can’t imagine a couple of drunk car thieves trying to attack police on a military base.
“Bambi doesn’t believe there’s such a thing as Islamic terrorism.”
Silly me. I forgot! :)
It’s another “nothing to see here, move along” moment.
Damn Straight! “So move along people, no terrorism to see here, just a couple of car thieves on the run who ran into overwhelming incoming rounds....” :-)
