Vamanos Doyers!
Stop diluting the word “terrorism” of its meaning. A death threat can be terrorism, and in this case it may very well be terrorism, but often it is not terrorism.
A gang member threatening to kill someone if they snitch isn’t terrorist. A guy threatening to kill someone if they don’t lay off his girl is not terrorist. Someone threatening to kill a person abusing their friend is not a terrorist.
Death threats are not inherently terrorist.
Edit: Are people misunderstanding something about what I’m saying here? I’m not condoning death threats in any way. Threatening someones life is categorically wrong and illegal. I’m just saying that something being wrong and illegal doesn’t make it terrorist. Terrorism involves instilling fear to achieve ideological or political goals, death threats don’t inherrently fulfill that criteria.
Their ideological goal is to remove Spanish speakers fr the us.
Don’t be thick.
This is terrorism.
I never said it wasn’t. I see this comment section full of a very un-nuanced and frankly incorrect “death threats are terrorism” sentiment. That’s just wrong.
You say “don’t be thick”, but it seems you didn’t catch the opening sentence where I said that “this case may very well be terrorism”.
Threatening to kill a singer in front of 55000 people is terrorism.
Full stop. Why are you arguing. Having a bad day?
Sorry about that hope it turns around for you.
You need help dude, going after people like this because you can’t read what they’re writing is pretty alarming.
Is this a confession?
Who is “going after” anyone? Is responding to a reply an act of aggression to you?
Yikes.
You ok buddy? Wanna talk about anything?
This is what I mean. This is a classic example of a condescending way of talking to people. You really shouldn’t be talking to people like this, it’s not constructive at all and just makes you seem angry and like you have nothing better to say.
Nobody here is trying to fight you. If you don’t have anything constructive to say you can just refrain from commenting.
Right this is what I’m saying.
I’m not even sure why you’re mad at me.
It seems like something else is troubling you.
And you’re shoveling it on me.
Whatever is bugging you , I hope you can get past it.
If you don’t want to get past it, then I dunno what to tell you.
Good luck buddy
Good job making your own comment thread seem very toxic I guess.
Why are you being mean? I made a pretty simple point, and you’re wilfully misinterpreting it, and I don’t understand why.
I quite simply said “death threats are not inherently terrorism”, and encouraged people to not misuse the word. You’re acting like I said something completely different. You’re trying to argue against something I’ve never said, and you’re doing it in a pretty unkind way when you’re starting with this “Having a bad day” stuff.
Not here to argue. Can tell you’re having a tough time.
Sending hugs your way.
If you really don’t have anything better to do than try to get under some strangers skin I feel kind of bad for you. Wishing you the best of luck in working on that.
You really wanna argue huh?
This isn’t even about me or anything I said is it.
What’s bugging you man? One of the off days in the butter you ate?
I hope you fall face first into whatever it is you’re looking for and your day improves.
I like you man, you’re crazy. But I like you.
