Depends on who's using it.

Police have a broader definition; politically, obviously, it's used more narrowly.

Those people need to understand what terrorism actually means and not what they think it means.

Lone wolf and domestic terrorism is not something new in the U.S. And those types of terrorist attacks have been carried out by people who happen not to be foreign Muslims.

I know fancy words but I don't care enough to use proper capitalization or punctuation. I am cool.

We have absolutely no idea who is responsible and already Muslims are to blame. This is like a rerun of a show you didnt like the first time.

Don't know how accurate this is, but a photo has been tweeted of the alleged suspect. https://twitter.com/Eric_Twardzik/st...912577/photo/1

To me, on Patriots' Day I'm more likely to suspect a tea partier / libertarian type than Muslim extremists.

Maybe I'm wrong.

Now if we want to call for a ban,, I think we found a good candidate.

Given how international the Boston Marathon is, I wouldn't even speculate at this point. I could invent virtually any motive for any extremist group.

Wat.

Patriots' Day is basically a libertarian/Tea partier's wet dream of a holiday. Second only to like, the 4th of July.

Like I said, maybe I'm wrong but that was my first thought of who'd do something like this, some right wing extremist.

Ok that lady on cnn when I was watching prolly said the word terrorism 20 times in 1 minute... it kind of bothered me, because well the obvious reasons.
Is it still terrorism if it was done by 1 lunatic(or a group of idiots) who is just mental and there is no "higher meaning" in his actions?

Even if the perp was a Tea Partier/Libertarian, we have to remember that nearly all Tea Partiers would never do nor codone this bombing. Just like the actions of a few Islamic extremists don't speak for Muslims as a whole.
