The latest face of terrorism in America: Robert Lewis Dear

He's being held on suspicion of killing three and wounding nine at the clinic busy with visitors on a snowy day the day after Thanksgiving. He has recently been a resident of Colorado, but also lived previously in South Carolina and North Carolina. Reporting on the first link, from Heavy, says:

According to court records, Dear has an arrest record in both North and South Carolina. He has been convicted of several traffic offenses, but has been arrested several times on more serious charges.

His convictions include seat belt violations, driver’s license violations, operating a vehicle in an unsafe mechanical condition and driving a non-registered vehicle.

Dear was charged in Colleton, South Carolina, with two counts of cruelty to animals in 2002, but was found not guilty in a bench trial.

He was also charged in 2002 in Colleton with charges of “peeping Tom” and eavesdropping. Those charges were dismissed.

Stories about the Tennessee recruiter shooting is on this tab, but not the Colorado shooting so far.

So what is the definition for terrorism?
