I'm watching it now on FOX. They say there is more than one suspect. Some are still on the loose.
I wonder if it's Terrorist?
Sad day for the Military, and America.

Well, of course not. Unless they're enemies of the US, they're probably insane, and most likely even then. Most of us don't understand crazy folks, leastwise not right off. Maybe it will become a little clearer once they catch them all and they get a chance to run off at the mouth.

If there were three of them working together and one of them was a major, I have a pretty good idea of why THEY did THIS...

Unhappy

6 o'clock news is saying shooter killed was US Army Major Malik Abdul Hassan , a recent convert to Islam.


Islam , the religion of peace!

Let's see:

1. An Army major as the ring leader.
2. The major named Malik Nadal Hassan.
3. Two accomplices.
4. Coordinated attacks.

Nope, couldn't POSSIBLY be terrorism. In fact, there's no such thing as "terrorism", just "man caused disasters".

I'm not going to speculate on the negative thoughts I have about the shooters and their motives, only good thoughts to those that lost loved ones today. Such a waste of life.

My prayers go out to all the families of the ones that were killed.
This isn't the first incident and I predict it won't be the last.

1. I still don't see how being an Army major has to do with the price of rice in China with regards to being a terrorist.

2. That's about the only "fact" that hasn't changed since this whole story broke. However, you didn't mention this in your previous post.

3. The two accomplices seem to have vanished into thin air, much like "John Doe #2" from the OKC bombing.

4. See #3.

Nobody has an agreed-upon definition of terrorism. What's a crime and what's terrorism? This is my biggest issue with all of the "terrorism" laws.

Thanks for spelling out your logic for me.
