Why are we so afraid to call it like it is if the act occurs on U.S. soil?

There are people who were terrorized and will continue to feel terrorized because they do not fit the model of the ideal American in some people's eyes.

Afraid of the NRA. Afraid of calling hate groups, hate radio, hate tv, hate politics, that directly or indirectly causes violence to citizens is domestic terrorism.

Sorry something's really very wrong.

I have to wonder why this detail is so foggy. wtf? leveymg Aug 2012 #6

From this video post, they didn't rule out there being more than one, but now they're looking for freshwest Aug 2012 #17

In this video, a man says 4 shooters at the beginning. But maybe not: freshwest Aug 2012 #54
