This is a continuation of discussion from the DC United board about the recent shootings.

Richard Reid killed 0 people because he was caught before he could act. And he was also some lunatic who wasn't working for any organized terrorist group.

And do you really think, even for a second, that if the media and/or police had any inclination whatsoever that these shootings had any connection to Al Qaeda, Iraq, the PLO, the IRA, or any other organized terrorist group that they would keep it a secret?

There's no way in hell this is a terrorist. If it's a "single radical Muslim" that is also not a terrorist. This is a crazy person randomly selecting targets and shooting them.

I'm so sick and tired of people saying "it must be a terrorist" the second any violent act occurs. All crimes are not connected to terrorists. Bad and crazy people act on their own sometimes too.

I like Eric's theory that it's a disgruntled Boy Scout troop upset over Charlton Heston's alzheimer's disease.

So anyone who doesn't belong to a single group isn't a terrorist?

This person is already a terrorist, school activities are shut down and people are afraid to go outside. This person is spreading terror throughout the whole region.

Well, I'm sick and tired of people saying "Theres no possible way that this is a Islamic terrorist" anytime theres a violent act. Sometimes they kill people, and this could be one of them.

I never ever said that "this must be a terrorist", I said don't count it out. But you're counting it out before we know any relevant facts about the killer(s).
