I supported the cop in Ferguson
I support the police in Charlottesville
They arrested the driver who committed terrorism
The only cops I side against are those that have broken the law

Terrorism in Charlottesville
Really sad Trump cant call it terrorism
Happens in Europe, Trump has no proplem calling it terrorism
A car is used for terror in the USA and Trump cant call a spade a spade
Weak
Should Obama have called this terrorism? https://lasvegassun.com/news/2016/jan/20/suspect-in-strip-sidewalk-crash-faces-more-counts/

We overuse words until they lose there meaning. Why the hyperbole? Was this equivalent to the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achille_Lauro_hijacking for you?
Is there a threat that more cars will drive into crowds to affect political or religious change? Should we all be afraid to walk the street in groups, for fear some nutter will mow us down?

When you drive a vehicle into a crowd due to just political differences to kill and maim

Terrorism
Definitions of terrorism - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Definitions_of_terrorism
The U.S. Code of Federal Regulations defines terrorism as "the unlawful use of force and violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives"

So the act of this one person, who is more than likely clinically mentally ill, and my guess on some kind of prozac type medication is equal to taking down an airliner demanding to release all Muslims out of Israeli prisons?

Or according to Wiki, a person who is raped isn't so much raped as they are terrorized? Or someone who gets robbed at gunpoint isn't robbed so much as an act of terrorism has been committed against them?

Or a schoolyard bully who steals milk money from the meek isn't just a little ***hole, he is a terrorist, and should probably be held for life under extreme rendition? Got it.

The dumbass who drove his car into those people is a 20 year old from my hometown of Maumee, Ohio. We probably went to the same high school.

I don't know if it's true, but I heard the police were standing by for awhile as fights broke out. Pretty sure that's the exact wrong response. If police don't move to stop the fights as soon as they break out, other troublemakers are going to see that as a signal that the police aren't going to interfere.

That's not to say that all the people engaging in violence are any less at fault. But it did sound like it wasn't handled very well-- unless your goal is an all out riot.
