Indeed. There’s no prize for being the first guy to shout ‘Terrorism!’, and those of us here prefer to go on actual data rather than prejudice. Sure, making judgements based on prejudice will sometimes give accurate results. Often they won’t.

More importantly, it’s simplistic and unhelpful to paint each incident with a broad brush. “Radical Islamic Terrorism!” tells us nothing about how and why Farook and Tashfeen chose to do this.

What happened with Suspect 3, the survivor? Did he turn out to be a bystander?
