I heard on the news that an instructor made a remark to the student about his mustache, calling it a “porn stash.” While that certainly does not justify the student’s actions, I wonder if there were other such occurrences. Again, I am not justifying such violence, just curious. Lots of mean people in this world. Some people will pick on anyone who is different from them. Hopefully, we will learn more about this case. Such senseless loss for all concerned.

Not sure what the debate is about. Just ask the people who were shot and shot at if they were terrorized.

Every politician is jumping online with false and misleading supposition.
They think its a good time before elections to look good
NO ONE knows what is or is not until the FBI concludes its investigation. Which no one knows that either.
I dont like what happened one bit, but you also have home grown terrorist that are U.S. born that do the same thing.
We each have an opinion…but it dont make it true
Praying for the families of the deceased and injured
I have a great admiration for all who contributed to help negate this .

REGARDING:
“If yesterday’s actions do not qualify as terrorism, then what does?”

terrorism:
the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.

If he did it to achieve political goals, yes, it meets the definition’s requirements.
If he did it for other reasons, no, it would not meet the definition’s requirements.

Investigators should be able to find out the truth. Unless Matt Gaetz actually knows what he is talking about, his words are empty sound — even if he turns out to be correct.

Even though it is possible Rep. Garth May know more than we know, I doubt it because those investigating this incident have not said more about it. It is purely speculation, at this point, to think otherwise. There are dissidents in Saudi Arabia,certainly, as there are dissidents here in the U.S. America dissidents. Not every act of murder by a foreign national is an act of terrorism. As law enforcement officials in Florida asked us not to do, jump to conclusions about this situation, I think Rep. Gaetz may have done that, and made a premature statement. Cooler heads will determine the truth.

In the past the US needed Saudi oil for survival.
Now that the US has an excess of oil Saudi oil is needed for the free world to function and not be held hostage by our sworn enemy oil producers.

Technology just isn’t to where those so called renewable energy sorces can produce enough energy to meet demands at an affordable cost. Even with government subsidies.

When you don’t like a person’s politics, attack them personally! Most see through that.

Its amazing to me that people here are actually denying the definition of the word terrorism. If yesterday’s actions do not qualify as terrorism, then what does? Ask the ones that were wounded and shot at were they terrified? Ask’em!!

To all the nay sayers concerning Gaetz, you’re wrong. This is an act of terrorism. Other Saudi classmates filming the act and the anti-American tirade by the terrorist shooter. I’m sorry you have trouble connecting the dots.
