My problem is that "terrorism" has become a bumper sticker quote.
There was a police officer shot in Seattle on Halloween night, two nights before that 5 squad cars were burned up in a moltov cocktail incident, no one is calling it terrorism, or a terrorist act.

| While the commander will not comment on the specific medical condition, he did say the shooter's death did not appear to be eminent
Damn the news coverage on this is on par with balloon boy

| Hmmm...now wouldn't a firing squad be an interesting little political drama?  Of course, he'll be declared insane and allowed to watch TV in the dayroom for the rest of his days.

The gunman, who officials initially said was killed, is wounded but alive, Lt. Gen. Bob Cone said.

Of course, we're arguing semantics here. Terrorism or not, the same amount of people are dead. My contention is that words have their own specific meanings, and we can't just apply our own meanings to words and expect that society should follow our act. If we do, then anything can become a form of terrorism. Or patriotism. Or whatever.

It's hard to swallow because it doesn't make any sense. All terrorist acts are crimes, but not all crimes are terrorist acts.
No, what you're saying is any murder committed by a muslim is terrorism. It's not.

It means so many things it actually means nothing....
