I just read the latest coverage update from the local CBS station in Seattle about the mass shooting in Macy's in the Cascade mall. A young guy goes into the department store. He walks over to the cosmetics area and opens fire with a rifle. He shoots and kills five people who appear to be unrelated. The coverage from CBS concludes with this:
At this time, authorities do not believe there is evidence to support that this is an act of terrorism.
Really? What would you call it? A guy kills five people at random, but it's NOT terrorism? Are they kidding? It may not be radical Islamic terrorism (if CBS could even bring itself to use those words), but there is surely evidence to say that it is terrorism.
It's a ridiculous thing that our society has become so politically correct that the media cannot bring itself to suggest that random killings could be an act of terrorism. Actually, it's not just ridiculous. It's also totally insane.
