    Informative article.

    Here's another question. The police ruled this out as a terrorist attack. And I suppose it's not a politically-motivated attack, and perhaps therefore not terrorism. But isn't there something necessarily terroristic about killing people on a live broadcast? and also about posting vids you took yourself of the same killing and putting them on social media?

    • My point is that it was an act of terrorism, be it media-labeled as such or not. He terrorized the psyche of millions.chukkaphob
