I was wondering when the next shooting spree was going to happen - we went almost a full week without one.

Kind of ironic that the US citizens are becoming their own country's most feared terrorists...

crime =/= terrorism. there's always been crime. I see you went from trolling SW to trolling life.

The shooter is dead - that is probably the only good that will come out of this story.

Those type of attacks are considered domestic terrorism by the US government... I guess the US government are trolling themselves then :roll:.

Shootings in America should hardly be newsworthy now since they're happening all the time. The only time a shooting here is really newsworthy is if it's a massacre (Aurora, Columbine, etc.) Just my opinion. Don't lose your balls over it.

Blame the culture. No not gun culture but lack of self-responsibility and grit. Also our laws are becoming more and more ridiculous and asinine.

Although the motivations for most mass shootings are not called terrorism in the US in essence it has the same consequences. I say it's a valid point he's made. It is kinda ironic.

Strickly controlling stuff seems to never lead to good things, but just more crime. Look at the alcohol prohibition and making all these drugs illegal :|.

The Sikh temple shooting was considered domestic terrorism by the FBI. A spree shooting is a spree shooting and merely commenting on it doesn't mean people hate America silly american...

A report today is that kids are doing what they call, "Doing the Dew", apparently they are getting large quantities of the illegal drink and sharing it with others. Cops are trying to crack down on this new substance but with no avail just yet.

Alternately, look at all those first-world countries that strictly control guns, and have shooting sprees every week.

Our government has to be getting money somehow from banning/controlling everything, which must be more money then they could possibly make if everything was legalized and possibly taxed (mostly dealing with drugs. No idea how much more/less guns should be taxed or w/e), since you'd figure they'd usually go with w/e gets them more money :?.

What is getting ridiculous? Shootings? Shootings happen everyday in the USA. This one is in the news because it happened outside the Empire State Building.

Not necessarily. From the story this sounds like it was just a disgruntled employee. That's hardly terrorism.

Yah. Unless he managed to get whoever he was going after, then I guess he'd be considered a terrorist to that person.

This isn't a mass shooting however, so no, it's not a valid point.

how many does it qualify to be a 'mass' I wonder.

More than one at least.

I would agree but its still an intresting question. Its a subject with various gatherings too. There seems to be a number of people at some point where people assume you should have a permit but what that number is I dont know.

What?

Maybe not literally, but maybe to whoever they commited the crime against :P. To be honest, I'm not seriously saying that everyone who commits a crime should be considered a terrorist, just pointing out that most crimes induce terror, so the person commiting the crime is inducing terror/attempting to induce terror on someone lol.
