Is the Texas church shooter a "terrorist" or a "depressed loner who just snapped"?

[Atticus]

IOW, white guy or "other"?

[Calculating]

1. Depressed loser

Probably hated his life, everyone else, and wanted to make them suffer while being remembered for something.

[CatMor]

2. He's a terrorist...........

just as the Las Vegas shooter was a terrorist and the NYC bike path killer is a terrorist. Doesn't matter where you were born or your religion.

[ManiacJoe]

3. Current reports does not suggest either option.

Lots more info is needed for an accurate judgement.

4. nar-ahh-ter-otist

NRAterrorism

Mass murder by "WTF" guns in the USA is terror brought by the NRA
Terror that exists only because of NRA political propagandizing and payola

All other causes are minor by comparison
The NRA worships guns
The NRA sees guns as God's gift
The NRA promotes guns as the answer to gun violence
The NRA obstructs the good guys without guns
The NRA is a political terrorist group that uses propagandized lone-wolves, magazine readers, or is it clip loaders

5. The longer it takes to identify him/her

The more I think it's a white guy.. A Muslim would have had his picture all over the news by now.

Either way.. Both types need to be stopped. This is horrible on so many levels.

11. "The longer it takes to identify him/her."

The more I think it's a white guy.

Wonder why I wouldn't be shocked

[bluepen]

6. Depends on motive.

[malaise]

7. They sure seem to be keeping his identify from us

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm

[lunasun]

8. Small town and dead - iow the identity is probably known locally

[Lucky Luciano]

9. Depends on whether the act was ideologically based to instill fear.

Like the bomb plotter in the Asheville, NC airport a month or so ago that quietly disappeared.

[L. Coyote]

10. Someone who watched too much television and saw nothing but mass shooting news 24/7.
