Nah, the "terrorism" angle sells better. They'll save blaming COD until the next "crazy white guy with no reason" shooting.

One could say all rape and murders are terrorist acts.

I guess one could if they only had a vague understanding of what "terrorism" actually refers to.

Are/were Timothy McViegh, the Unibomber, and Eric Rudolph terrorists?

Re: What no blame on video games?

Yes they are. I certainly hope you have a point. Actually, I'm sure you think you do, but you're wrong.

Let me point out the obvious difference between the average rapist/murderer and the people you just mentioned: Motivation.

Someone could rape/murder a single person, and if they are doing so with the intent of affecting national policy, social issues or any political issue it is terrorism. While I disagree with people who say this: I do see logic behind the argument that warfare is state sponsored Terrorism.
Conversely, someone can mail bombs, blow up buildings and fly planes into buildings, but if they did it for their personal enjoyment, it's not terrorism.

Re: What no blame on video games?

So under your definition, Ft. Hood wasn't an act of terrorism. He wasn't a guy trying to make a political or social issues point. He was a guy who had no problem collecting a paycheck from the military, but then flipped out when asked to actually earn it.

This wasn't terrorism, it was an act of a guy f$cked up in the head.

Under "my" definition? Please tell me you're trolling.

Also you're wrong anyways. Under the definition of terrorism that I just described, what he did was without a doubt terrorism. He didn't do it "for the lulz" he was talking to a cleric linked with other terror groups ffs. What are you smoking? Seriously.

Re: What no blame on video games?

So because he talked to someone else, he's a terrorist? Have you read anything about the case? The guy was f*cked in the head, LOOKING to do something. The fact that the cleric pointed him in one direction over another doesn't really matter. This jackass was going to do something, because he was too chicken shit to earn his pay. He wasn't trying to make a political statement, or strike fear into the country. His actions were about him.

I'm not suggesting he's a good guy, or even any less of a bad guy. But claiming a lone gunman is a terrorist lessens the inpact of the word.

Re: What no blame on video games?

You are wrong and you can talk until doomsday and it won't change the fact this guy was a terrorist. And the fact that all terrorists are slightly messed up in the head doesn't change that.

You are right about one thing, there is no use debating it here.

Hahaha wow.

Your claim that the word even needs to have an "impact" at all shows the way you think.

How about you go back to your sensationalist media like a good child and leave the debating to the big boys.

NPR reporter blames the Internet for Ft. Hood Rampage


Maj.Hasan with Osama
 

Maj. Hasan awarded by ILA
That NPR claim was severely weakened when the CIA released these startling photos tying the Ft.Hood Shooter with Islamist Movement

They photos confirm the suspicions that Maj. Nidal Hasan, the "Ft.Hood Shooter" has strong ties with Al Qaedia leader, Osama bin Laden and the Islamist wing of the Iranian government.

The details of Maj. Hasan's relationship with the head of Al Queda weren't immediately available. However this screen capture from an ILA (Iranian Leadership Authority) award ceremony broadcast gives the strongest support to the allegations that Ft.Hood Shooter was an active member of the Islamist movement.

FCC's Copps wants to toughen broadcast license renewals

»www.rbr.com/media-news/18731.html
FCC Commissioner Michael Copps addressed a RainbowPUSH Coalition(aka Jesse Jackson) event, calling for greater diversity of media ownership and stronger public interest requirements for broadcasters. He wants to use the quadrennial review and separate proceedings to move toward both goals.

»hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/a···79A1.pdf

He also once again cited his disapproval of the “postcard” license renewal process, saying, “There is no reason on God’s green earth why the Commission shouldn’t go back to having some guidelines to make sure stations are consulting with their audiences on what kinds of programming people would like to see and that news and information aren’t the first thing to go on the chopping block when ownership changes hands. I’ve been begging the broadcasters’ representatives in Washington to join this discussion for years. They refused.”

RBR-TVBR observation: Sometimes it seems like Copps believes stations are in the business of driving audiences away. Of course, the opposite is true, and one of the most difficult business achievements in the entertainment world is getting people to tune in to your station.

We can guarantee one thing: Stations won’t find out what their audience wants by convening a panel of well-meaning civic-minded local residents. If the panel attracts the type of earnest individual who is concerned about just where the town aldermen plan to site the fire hydrants in the new townhouse development and thinks that the local broadcast stations should be on top of the story, all the panel will do is drive the audience to the nearest medium that actually provides entertainment. If you don’t believe us, just check out the microscopic ratings of your local cable access channel.
Copps did nothing to further his agenda by using Jesse Jackson's blackmailing organization to make his points.

Ok, I'll be the first to confess. I've driven with a burned out headlight. And I liked it. I liked making little children scream, "mommy, why does that car have only one headlight!"

I'm a terrorist.

No, The Internet was not blamed...

No, I don't see in the article where the Internet is blamed for the attacks at Fort Hood.

What I see is a blatant attempt by some left leaning idiot to try to convince me that it had nothing to do with Islam...

This man, was a Muslim. He was devout and he associated with the extremists in his religion. There are extremists in any religion and there are extremists even in the absence of religion, all a fool needs is a cause.

This man was a fool, with a cause.
