This is a definition of terrorism.
We went to watch a movie last night. After Aurora and the two theater shootings last week here in the North County, we both were somewhat concerned. We still went to the theater. Every time the alert goes off (through text), I wonder if it is another shooting. Ironically overnight the cops confronted a person overnight who had an AR-15 with him...he shot himself with it. Nope, he dd not manage to kill himself either.
Good news, one less gun in circulation.
But the fact that we even have to think of the what ifs, that is the definition of terrorism.
Oh and kudos to the cops. They were confronted by an individual with a gun inside a theater and the only person shot was the one wielding the gun. Nobody else was hurt, at least physically
Ohhh, she gets ALERTS!1!11! Guess what, Nads, so do I. All I have to do is turn on the evil Fox News.
Sounds more like the definition of terrorism is the fear that your kind propegate on all of us, and many of those same people who fall for it/wet their pants anywhere they go are the same kind of people who voted blue in November.

There was no "Yup" in there. :???:

Do they use riffles when they commit terrorism? Do they go the whole nine yards, or the full sixty centimeters?
Time to get a new rappelling rope and strap on the good rigs, this could get crunchy fast.

Notice she called it a "gun".
That eliminates the stress over how many "fs" to put in the word "riffle".
When the nutcase sits in a theater seat, her feet don't touch the floor.

Wait just a darn minute here! He shot himself with it but didn't kill himself? Based on reading DU I've learned than an AR-15 is one of the most deadly assault riffles on the planet. So deadly that just having one in a gun cabinet causes innocent people to fall over dead. Yet this guy TRIED to kill himself with it and didn't succeed?!?!

The local ClearChannel radio station's morning hosts went to a gun show this past weekend in Saratoga Springs. The female half was ardently anti-gun, but she says that she's changed her position somewhat now, having read the arguments of the pro-gun side, and recognizing that they have valid arguments. Anyway, the best quote of their trip was this, from an attendee there: "If guns kill, how does anyone ever get out of a gun show alive?"

Advice on word meanings from a dyslexic English-as-a-second-poorly-understood-language background. What a great idea.

11. in terrorism fear is not the ends but the means. Thus, the goal of terrorism is not to change the behavior of the population; it is the means to accomplish one's political, religious, ideological goal.
If someone enjoys using violence to get people scared but without any other agenda, that could be better classified as mass murderer.

14. I'm not afraid to go to the movies
Nor is my family, friends or anyone else I know.
So, your premise doesn't hold up.
Just because you are afraid, doesn't mean anyone else is.
Unless, of course, you are the center of the universe, which then would make it true, yup.

13. I can't find a link to what you describe
Do you have one?
I found a story about a shooting Saturday afternoon, but it involved a handgun and the suspect was shot by cops.
Suspect shot in theatre: San Diego officers critically wound gun-wielding man
SAN DIEGO — Police shot and critically wounded a man Saturday suspected of chasing his girlfriend with a handgun across a shopping mall parking lot before ducking into a crowded movie theater where officers confronted him.
The shooting occurred inside the Reading Cinemas theater in northern San Diego around 3:50 p.m., and no moviegoers or officers were hurt, Officer David Stafford said.
He said officers went to an outdoor shopping center, where the theater is located, in response to a domestic violence call. No other details were immediately released.
A San Diego Fire-Rescue Department dispatcher said the suspect was taken to a hospital with life-threatening injuries.

15. Hmmmm
That's the only one I can find.
Maybe I need to have alerts sent to my phone so I can annoy the other patrons when I see a movie?
