      Here comes the inevitable convoluted semiotic debate over what constitutes "Terrorism," a term devoid of all meaningpic.twitter.com/5UuXCfL0af

      How can a powerful explosive be "intentionally" detonated in a civilian area but *not* constitute "terrorism"? Answer: just dump the term

          Then what do you call it? You can come up with some great new terminology. You're good like that.

          you could call it a non implicit directed explosion from a device undirected.

          Can't call it 'terrorism' right off when intention isnt to make people fear foreigners, but to (possibly) revoke more freedom

          There's some sort of effort to delineate who is committing the act and why before using the label. The label means big, bad things.

          It's a subjective singularity: all things and no things can be defined as terrorism simultaneously; kind of like classified emails.

          Have you noticed that CNN and the rest of the pro-Hillary media outlets are painstakingly avoiding saying the word "bomb"?

          Agree w/ "dump the term" (obviously.) But possibly: until we know of motive (specifically:political?) we can't tell if it was "T"?

          Recent outcry for shootings, hate crimes, etc to be called "terrorism": I sympathize, but the term itself is a problem. Ill-defined
