yeah i haven't read anything about an nra book either. but the rest is pretty accurate isn't it?
i haven't heard any official reports on what the actual fuel was for the device though it very well could be what it was though I think radiator quick patch powdered aluminum would probably be a better choice for a bomb, though more expensive.
i guess the only thing unsettling is that he guessed the day right. the rest could be pretty "usual suspects" type stuff and guessing some dipshit senator would capitalize on it as a way to attack the second amendment is far from a long shot. 4/23/2013 7:43:37 AM |

Did anyone really think this was women? Or that they were in their 30s or 40s? Isn't this really just playing on the fact that these crimes which are usually committed by men in this demographic?
The only exception seems to be when it's a well-orchestrated plan, like the World Trade Center bombing in 1993 or Oklahoma City. 4/23/2013 7:44:45 AM |

It's the same reason why people destroy Obama for not calling Ft Hood "terrorism."
Post-9/11, in America, if a brown person or Muslim does it, it's a terror attack. If a white or black person does it, it's simply violent crime or mass murder. 4/23/2013 5:06:03 PM |
JT3bucky All American 23240 Posts user info edit post |
ehhhh, not so much.
not in my view at least.
Looking back the OKC bombing would def. be terrorism and he was white.
To elaborate on that, I think it has to do with the weapons used and the setting.
A bomb or IED is terrorism to me. A gunman on a rampage is less terrorism because that happens a lot more on a daily basis. People get shot every day but how many times in America does someone bomb someone or something?
really depends on the medium.

They should put Mustard Jar and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev in an octagon fight, but give Mustard Jar a knife to even it out.
My money is on Dzhokhar because he can get shot up and bleed for a full day and survive only to get shot up some more and deafened by flash bangs and still pull himself enough to fall off the boat. 4/23/2013 8:48:24 PM |

If there's more than one person involved, and there's an attempt to inflict mass casualties, I wouldn't even hesitate to call it terrorism... When its a single person, the reasoning and modality play a part in what I would consider terrorism versus some crazy person.
However, they're all sick fucks at the end of the day, so who cares what you call it. 4/23/2013 11:07:36 PM |

^ what about Columbine? there were multiple shooters then, but I don't think you could reasonably call what happened there "terrorism."
for me, terrorism = people who are angry for political/religious reasons killing a bunch of innocents to show how angry/serious they are
the political/religious beliefs are the defining trait

I hate to beat a dead horse here, but I think this will turn out to be another example of the continuing problem of media driven violence. We have seen this escalating over the past few years and I think it is only going to get worse. Now with social media and such these guys became the most famous kids on the planet within minutes of their pictures coming out. This is not going to discourage kids in the future of wanting that same fame and doing shit like this for no real reason other than to see if they can pull it off. 4/24/2013 9:16:46 AM |

^^^^^ Wow.
What if it turns out the younger bro knew his older brother was a murderer, and the older brother threatened to kill the younger brother if he didn't place the explosive bag down?
Pretty crazy story...
If Tamerlan was generally insane and psychopathic, even if he thought he was defending Islam in this case, I don't think this would really count as terrorism. 4/24/2013 9:25:56 AM |

The biggest joke is calling pressure cookers WMDs. That term has been specifically reserved for nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons.
If a pressure cooker is a WMD, that means from now on any kind of IED and even grenades will be called WMDs?
Would they still call it a WMD if he was a WASP named Tom Jones?
Anyway, if he really did it, and if really claims that he did it to "defend Islam", that's fucked up. What the fuck kind of defending is that? What he means is "tarnish Islam".
Regardless of weapon used and regardless of motive, anybody who kills innocent civilians in that way should be executed.
So if it can be proved that he did it willingly, execute him. 4/24/2013 9:34:05 AM |
