By contrast, the Parkland school shooting wasn't terrorism. The killer's motivation wasn't political. This political/not political distinction matters because it helps us understand what happened and develop strategies to prevent it. 4/x
Which are you referring to? I've heard about him telling people he was going to become a school shooter, but I'm not aware of any explicitly political motivation. Possible I missed something, of course. Alternative example of mass murder with no political motivation: Sandy Hook.

Thank you. It's less clear than some other cases because he hadn't made public political statements like some of the ones I mentioned. But the swastikas clearly connect it to the larger white nationalist movement.
