re: #112 Cannadian Club Akbar

Ok. BTK got off on people talking about him for 13 years (last kill was 1991, he contacted the police/media in 2004) People remained scared, but was it rational to call him a terrorist after all those years?

I think that’s where the ‘political’ angle comes in. People live in fear when a serial killer is active, they’re terrorized, but it’s not normally described as terrorism.

The Klan, or someone who targets Planned Parenthood clinics is sending a political message with with a clear attempt at coercion.

These guys are sending a message too, but it’s essentially, ‘We hate’.
