"The Austin bombing suspect was a white, radicalized Christian domestic terrorist."
#FixedThatForYou -
It was implied.
-
It's implied, but it's not said. What's much more explicitly stated is this is a poor boy who lost his way. He's a domestic terrorist. Start with that.
-
They can't say that if he has a certain skin color. He has to be "troubled" or "radicalized."

Twitter needs a sarcasm tag, doesn't it?

-
Well yes, but I understood you and was rolling with it for the people who may have not understood.
-
Something is getting lost in translation here and it might be because I'm trying to get work done with my phone blowing up, but *I* wasn't being sarcastic at all.
-
I'm getting "frost brain" right now from the weather, sorry. If that makes any sense. Main idea is I get what you meant.

No, Ahmed Mohamed (the boy who got arrested for bringing a homemade clock to school), that young man is nerdy. This guy was a racist murderer. Is it just me or is the NYT increasingly adopting a glib credulity that reflects poorly on their shifting editorial choices?
-
It’s not just you...
-
Not just him at all.....
-
It's a quotation. Someone else, not the Times reporter, said "nerdy."
-
I wonder if the
@nytimes reached out to family friends of the 9/11 disturbed young men to get positive quotes for their soft profiles. I heard Mohamed Atta liked grilled cheese sandwiches and Blink 182. -
Fair enough, but not exactly a humanizing article if you read it. Atta was always called a terrorist. No one called him a "challenged young man". I understand trying to get insight into a monster, but call a spade a spade.
-
They do call him "a shy and sheltered boy." It's a LOOOOONG article. I think I read it back in the day, but I don't have the time right now.
