Why the quotes around terrorist attack?

-
Because I decline to use the terminology that always results in civil liberties violations, regardless of the ideology of the perpetrator.

Civilisation and society is a balance of civil liberties, you aren't free to punch someone, own a nuclear weapon or keep slaves. You need training and a license to own a car and it must be operated within strict laws including mandatory use of seatbelts.

Yet people dont wear seatbelts, speeding, and have burnt out headlights and taillights and get mad when they get pulled over and ticketed But I make sure all my stuff is working and anybody in my back seat that doesnt buckle up gets flung across the seats when I make a turn

What do we do then? IDK. Congress passed a law restricting the mentally ill access to guns and even that was denounced by ACLU and overturned by R's in Senate. We all agree guns will never be outlawed in US, so what are solutions? Yes, multiple. Not 1 magical cure.

Unfortunately common sense measures end up being anything but common sense. For example lets start confiscating guns proposed by Swalwell.

It's frustrating that every time the news comes out piecemeal on the shooter but any evidence proving the incident is off-limits and suppressed.

Plus, the El Paso shooter lied. His manifesto does NOT represent his real views, he is trolling the public & police. It is just too obvious: he refuses to talk about himself under 'about me' & tries to link Trump rhetoric to the shooting in order to curtail civil liberties.

So basically every network that's been airing an "outrage" story (of e.g. ypipo calling cops after seeing stranger enter apartment complex) on national news every night
