    Glad that this guy is off the streets and in jail forever.

    I agree that he was a racist. I'll also add that's he's fucking crazy as a shithouse rat.

    What I don't understand is how this is 'terrorism.' There was no political agenda. I'd say the guy was a serial killer, and that his murders definitely fall under the definition of hate crimes. But terrorism? That seems like a dilution of the word.

    so the system worked as advertised in this situation - suspect caught, tried and sentenced accordingly - the end.
    I do believe however that he failed to inspire any white men to commit similar acts or provoke a race war and we can all be thankful for that. Too bad though that he didn't get the death sentence for such a cut-and-dried murder (no pun intended).

    Maybe you need to Google the word "terror." And unless you're a Brit, kindly use double quotes, mkay? Thanks.

    So how long before this guy gets invited to the White House, and how long before we start hearing that we need to watch a longer video to understand he's the real victim here? :borg:

    Terrorism can be racial; it doesn’t have to be political.

    Nope. It's hate crime- a REAL one. Not what you libs normally portray it as.

    Again, he was also hoping his actions would inspire others to start a race war. Trying to start a war isn't political? :chris:

    It's terrorism if your intent is to frighten, compel, or motivate others in society at large to action/inaction through the use of violence. So, yeah, fair call.

    This sounds like one of those terrorism-overlapping-with-crazy cases.

    Game, set, match.

    I understand pilots need to have 20/20 vision or better. Maybe @Marso's overdue for a visit with his ophthalmologist. :garamet:

    I know it's a sad state of affairs and no laughing matter, but I couldn't help myself after I read this for the second time today. :lol:

    Our president inspires the worst in people. There were very fine people on both sides.

    He's not that sort of German. Though given his history you might wonder why he leaps to defend a guy who WANTS to build walls.

    Gawd, you're an antique -! :rofl:

    First of all, it's Strunk and White.

    Secondly, q.v. APA, MLA, AMA, CMS, etc. You really do not want to play dueling style sheets with me, Bub.

    What's next, Turabian? :jayzus:
