The guy who shot at two kids and killed one today is just as bad as Roeder

[AllentownJake]

Don't know why this needs to be said. It appears he had a political agenda. He shot and killed one stranger and wounded another for political reasons.

He's a terrorist influenced by the same Religious extremism.

1. What was the motive?

Do you know?

[AllentownJake]

2. It appears from intial reports

He is an Islamic extremist.

[Adelante]

4. I see

If that turns out to be true, I agree with your OP. Religious devotion of whatever stripe is no excuse for violence.

3. are you talking about the guy in Wisconsin?

or someone else?

[AllentownJake]

5. Arkansas

Two young soldiers straight out of boot camp were shot by a drive by shooting. The man in custody is a convert to Islam who appears to have committed the crime inspired by extreme beliefs.

7. Oh, man, I don't want to hear that. Poor kids. nt

10. homicidal fanaticism... sadly... seems to be on the rise.

:cry:

6. If he was supported by those who goaded him into committing such an act...

well, you can see where I'm going with this.

[notadmblnd]

8. yes, and he's been charged with terrorism

unlike the Dr killer.

[BlooInBloo]

9. Was he part of an active, organized, well-funded movement within the US?

Because that's an important part of the significance of Roeder.

11. ..if his motive was political/religious

..then indeed Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad is a domestic terrorist.. and I have read newstories referring to him as such.. Roeder too is a domestic terrorist, but I have yet to read any mainstream news source call Roeder a terrorist.. not that I'm surprised.. disgusted, but not surprised..

12. Both are bad but this implication is that the soldier killer is worse

and is branded a terrorist , yet a political stand made by murdering a Doctor who defends women's rights isn't terrorism. Because women's ability to choose isn't as important as the military! This makes me so angry! Both should be labeled "terrorists".

[WeDidIt]

13. Yep, two acts of domestic terrorism in two days

No argument from me. I waited to find out if it was gang related, but from everything reported so far, it sounds like another act of domestic terrorism.

[McCamy Taylor]

14. Could he be a plain old fashioned economic terrorist? I.e. someone who is out of work?

[AllentownJake]

15. We'll learn more in a few days

The fact is that the Islamic extremist are being monitored and actively pursued more in this country, so your less likely to see a hateful rant on the internet calling for the killing of US Soldiers.
