There's terrorism and there's terrorism. I can't believe the same guys that pulled off 9/11 told some guy to ram his car into a hardware store in Bofunk, New Jersey.
Yeah, next thing you know people will be claiming that kids blowing themselves up in Gaza are terrorists, too.
"I can't believe the same guys that pulled off 9/11 told some guy to ram his car into a hardware store in Bofunk, New Jersey."
OBL admitted he didn't even think that those planes would bring down the towers
Bofunk?
And burning or blowing up a church can't possible be terrorism. Ditto bombing a wedding. Gee, I guess the beheading of only one innocent at a time can't be terrorism either.
Why does it have to be on an epic scale in order to be called terrorism?
No one ever said he was connected to Al Qaeda nor that it was an organized attack. But what he did, based on his beliefs is a terrorist attack, the same as people in ELF are when they bomb and burn for their beliefs. So, yes, it was a terrorist act and he is a terrorist. There was a time when a bomb threat called into a school was charged as a terroristic threat, now they just send the kid to counseling to understand why he did it.
True, but the next freelancer may not be so stupid, and may be much more effective in making their "statement". I can think of half dozen ways to create lots of mayhem, and another dozen by breakfast tomorrow. Am I going to write those into a public forum? No way Jose.
