Since 9/11 I’m really sick of so many things being dumbed down. “Terrorism” is 1 of those things.

What is “terrorism”, e.g.?

Terrorism is not simply killing someone, or assailing someone, or doing either in a mass manner.

Terrorism is creating general terror (i.e., concern that anyone may be next, almost like a warning) through killings (much more than mere assaults) based on a belief in the name of that belief and in direct support of some organized grouping.

Guys like Columbine and the movie theater and Newtown don’t count as “terrorists” because they did it for themselves, not to support some greater organized group, like ISIS. They are merely mass murderers.

If he’s counting MM, then yeah, lots of white guys involved IN AMERICA (try expanding that to world-wide). Take out the MMs and you don’t have much terror in America to start, much less “white guys” as perps.
