re: #367 Dark_Falcon

When Radical Islam is part of the killer’s justification, its a terrorist act. Period.

I disagree. He hasn’t made that justification, has he? You have. Others have.

Might we have have the opportunity, since he is still alive, to hear what he has to say? My best bet is that his justification will be that instead of killing infidels (radical Islam motive) that he just couldn’t cope with the possibility of counseling troopers who had killed Muslims and felt remorse during PTSD counseling sessions with him. He just could not imagine being neutral himself in those sessions. It drove him over the edge.

I’ll agree up front that that is a whack reason for twisting off, but it would not surprise if that is not the defense.

But again. This guy should not have been in an Army uniform last week.
