    Has anyone noticed

    How it seems that local authorities in certain areas and the media are so reluctant to call something that is so clearly terrorism terrorism. It happened in Toronto they just about drooled on themselves to keep from calling the ACT terrorism. It was terrorism when you walk down the sidewalk and randomly shoot innocent people and restaurants that's terrorism the same kind of terrorism that the guy with the AR-15 in Las Vegas and in Texas and in Parkland all of those Acts were terrorism. It just seems that there is some reluctance to call it terrorism especially if the suspect is a middle eastern origin. They're all terrorists and they all should live the rest of their lives in jail. When you take up a weapon and randomly start killing people you are a terrorist. I don't care where you come from.

    It is a cultural thing in Canada and is not limited to terrorists---they have a highly developed ability to not say chit even when they have a mouth full.

    It’s cozy living under Uncle Sugar’s umbrella and fosters a laidback, head-in-the-sand kind of attitude.

    Yes sir I have, as we all have. I've also noticed like you and others that the name of the crime is far more dependent on race then action. If a man kills 50 people at a concert it's not a hate crime. But... you all know the rest. I'm with who ever said hang them all or something along those lines.
