It does say it is currently being treated as one till they have further information. It depends on a person's definition of "terrorist". People planting bombs usually qualifies. Nobody with any kind of political power has pointed the finger at Muslims yet. Still too early. *edit* I stand corrected. @Harvey Spectorjust posted a Fox News article pointing fingers at Muslims.

While it's true that in Northern Ireland those from a Catholic background made up the majority of the PIRA, they didn't 'want protestants gone'. Loyalist groups perhaps. But ultimately they wanted a united Ireland free of Britain and while less common there were Protestants within the ranks. The troubles would be better described as republican vs unionist as opposed to Catholic vs Protestant. It was (and still is) more related to culture and politics than religion. I was referring more to the loyalist/ extremist side of things. How those with that way of thinking all seem to think it is ok as long as it is in the name of their God. If today was indeed A terrorist attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurn Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 The police are not calling it a terrorist attack, they said they are treating it like one until they have further information. If they don't say it was a "terror attack" then it seems there is some doubt at the present time. As time progresses I'm sure there will be updates and it may well end up being called a terrorist attack. As for me I'll wait for more info before I start labeling, what, who and why.

FFS STOP seeking a dictionary definition of the gd term If ANYONE goes in to a building and either places a device with the intent or starts shooting with the intent to injure maim and kill as many as possible it is a GD terrorist attack regardless of race nationality or beliefs. So sick of needing to hear the words or justification for the words. Some animal intended to kill and hurt a large number of innocent kids. Regardless of motive it is an act of terror Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's driving the point of his idiocy home. It would be like someone from Vancouver making fun of another city over riots, like someone from Detroit making fun of someone else for their city being run down or poor. Simply highlighting the sheer idiocy of said "former journalists" posts when #Bostonstrong still rings loud. *Edit At no point in time would, did or could I make statements like that. Acts of terror are not jokes, attacks against children and the innocent are not funny and I hope that reporter winds up flipping burgers for life because of it.

Toni Zamboni Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 tragic. i was wondering if it was the panic after the fact that may have added to the injuries and fatalities? also in the video i saw, i didnt see alot of security...at least it didnt look obvious to me who the security were.....usually at events like this ive been to the security is wearing high vis type of shirt etc. did they say whether the explosion was inside or outside the event? also that guy that made that tweet is a POS...hope he pays for his stupidity.

No need to drive the point of his idiocy, he did a fantastic job of his own. Also I would use word journalist carefully when describing this individual. I consider Woodward, Cronkite, Rather, Pulitzer, Hemingway etc. to be journalists.

Definitely happened inside even though the arena operators initially claimed otherwise. There's a picture of torn dead bodies in the arena's foyer floating around Twitter.
