Terrorism?
I believe this to be an act of terrorism against innocent people. I have only caught small cuts of news about this as this time, but one report I heard concerned this not being called terrorism.
I'm thinking about how I sure as hell would feel terror if I were in thiat building! And what about the friends & family of those working there (and of the person that was killed other than the perp)?
Oaklahoma City (McVey) felt like a terrorist act to me. What, only acts of violence against innocent people in the US by someone from another country are terrorism?
Interested in what others think about this. I don't know that identifying it as such is in any way helpful to the victims/families, and I guess that is what really matters to me. Just thinking about this....
And I feel badly for the people of Austin having had this happen. Makes one think about how something like this can happen anywhere.
