Yes, defined by the "authorities", as according to their PC orders.

But we all know what it really is.

You sound like an apologist, Hazardous1408

By the way, I couldn't care less about what you want to hear from me or not.

Personal attacks already?

How grown up.

It matters not if you couldn't care less, you're gonna receive my opinion when you spout drivel.
Suck it up.

And you will receive mine.

yea they murdered him, like the piece of trash he was. he admitted to doing it, refused to surrender, kept on trying to instill fear, kept on trying to kill more.

i say blow him up twice.

Oh, imagine that...

Obama renews gun control push after Dallas shootings

I don't care if its a terrorist attack or a race attack or a nut job gone crazy job..

This attitude towards police is hateful and misplaced. Yes, I understand people have died from incidents with cops and I hate the grief people must go through, however.. if the bulk of American society grew the F**k up...majority of these incidents wouldn't happen.

News Flash, if you are african american you are going to be profiled by everyone.. yes, it sucks, life is sh*t some times.. deal with it.. enough with the racist bullcr@p.. enough with the blame, the hate.. stop giving attitude, grow the hell up, get a job, stop sitting around on street corners... I know you want to blame everyone else but yourself, but.. its just not the reality.

America is on the verge of tearing itself apart over such bullsh*t. Its upsetting to watch.. how did such an advanced and rich nation allow something like this to happen?

.... Dallas, Chilcot Report, Clinton Scandal.. its all related.. western society has officially failed this year.

Is anyone really surprised?

Apologies if it came off that way. Wasn't intended as such.

For the slow learners here:

terrorism

noun

the unofficial or unauthorised use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims.

That's great you can copy and paste from the dictionary...

For us slow learners why don't you go to Dallas .Gov and tell us the criminal definition of terrorism now.

Wow just got back in but the OS is now saying lone man on grassy knoll? I thought it was very strange to have some sort of solid number of "two shooters" that kept being repeated by the media who was otherwise clueless lastnite.

Goes to show you just how much collective gossip does here. Try to keep that in mind here on ATS as we... gossip, because really that's what most of this looks like.

These were the original reports
Link
Here are the 10 latest developments in this story:
1. The attack, one of the worst mass police shootings in US history, happened during a protest against the killing of two black men by police in Louisiana and Minnesota this week.
2. According to the police, one of the suspects is a woman. Two others were taken into custody as they tried to flee in a car.
3. The fourth suspect - who was holed up in a downtown garage - had told negotiators that the "end is coming" and that "there are bombs all over the place in this garage and in downtown." Police sources say he has been killed.
4. US aviation authorities restricted flights over Dallas soon after five police officers were fatally shot and six others were injured by snipers who shot from rooftops.
5. The police said it appeared to be a coordinated attack. Dallas Police Chief David Brown told reporters the snipers fired "ambush style" upon the officers.
6. The gunfire broke out around 8:45 pm local time. Local media reports showed protesters marching along a street in downtown when the shots erupted and the crowd scattered, seeking cover.
7. Soon after the shooting was reported, police released a photo of one of the suspects. Minutes later, it tweeted to say "the person of interest whose picture has been circulated just turned himself in".
8. But the brother of the man whose picture was released claimed that he was innocent. Some reports now say he has been released, but there is no official word from the police on it yet.
9. President Barack Obama, visiting Poland, was briefed about the shooting that he termed "vicious, despicable and calculated attack."
10. The Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area is one of the nation's most populous and is home to more than 7 million people

So, what of "the end is coming and bombs all over the place #2, coordinated attack #5 ?? The story sure does evolve to feed the conspiracy minded, nothing is as it first appears or is revealed.

he never said he talked to them after the protest, he said he spoke to a protester.

not once does he say when he spoke to them.

all that is said about time frame is this.

Changa, an organizer with the Dallas Action Coalition, was calm and deliberate when he told The Daily Beast about the night’s events.

now where does that say he spoke with talked with a fellow protester after the attack. it doesn't.

I'm a black american. i have a job. i don't sit around on street corners, and I earn everything I own with my own hard work. so don't paint me with your broad, racist brush.

who are you talking to when you make this blanket statement? you do realize you're the one being racist here by saying this?

America is tearing itself apart and your racist, hateful mentality towards black americans is apart of the problem.

it's also easy for people who have the privilege of not being profiled to simply tell the ones who are profiled to deal with it.

disgusting. every damn day on ATS it never fails, a racist spewing hate rhetoric.

Not necessary when I gave a pretty clear definition of what a terrorism act is.

And what just happened in Dallas is a terrorism act, weather people want to accept it or not.

If he was cornered he was no longer a threat. I suppose they could have gassed him without killing him too.

Yes?.

Cornered, armed, and communicating the intent to kill as many as he can isn't a threat?

I know you're scared of powicemens and all, but let's try to use some logical thought anyway.

a reply to: Agit8dChop

It is time for western society to evolve or fail/die.

It's kind of obvious it doesn't work well enough.

Enough of the extremist crap, there is something in between somewhere that would work better for everyone involved, instead of just mega profit and wealth for the few.

When employers and manufacturers eliminate jobs, who do they sell to?, well, that's easy....

Other countries.

Leaving people here to go crazy trying to get by when they just CAN'T.

And # like this happens.

Thank you for that excellent update and summary.
If ISIS doesn't also have a role in this...I will be very surprised.

When a real terrorist act happens this government and the media refuse to call it what it is. BUT....

In this case a multiple targeted and calculated homicide and everyone is tripping all over themselves to shout 'terrorism'...Why?

Well, because this crime doesn't fit the agenda, that's why! Because this crime has serious political implications...to the democrats and the left leaning media!

If they can spin this as terrorism, they can keep pounding on the gun-control drum with impunity. If they allow this crime to be cast in its true light, a targeted racist hate crime with multiple homicides (black on white...and more importantly black on white cops), they can still pound the gun-control drum, but there's a significant political downside. By calling for gun-control if not a terrorist act, but rather an act of apparent racial retaliation against authorities, they run the risk of losing the black vote! The African American community will see this as a call to disarm them in their perceived fight against racial inequality and biased treatment by law enforcement.

God rest the souls of the slain officers, but damn the politicians and the media for once again trying to spin a tragic situation for political gain, and only political gain.

Don't be fooled America!

How else do people describe this, if not TERRORISM?

I am honestly curious. Were those people gay?

a reply to: MyHappyDogShiner

What society should we adapt to then?

It seems like the only people who have a problem with western culture are foreigners or people who aren't willing to own their mistakes and participate in it.

I haven't read all 85 pages as I woke up to this news and wanted to be up to date...
I haven't seen you definition...

Maybe you could elucidate for us all who have just arrived to the thread.


Like I said, I'll wait for the authorities to decide or better yet, I'll wait for someone like Shamrock to break down the legal definition of terrorism in Dallas/Texas.

If you don't mind.

It seems more like a hate crime.

Well yes but a hate crime can also at the same time be a terrorist act but does not have to be per se. ! person can beat up another person and that can be a hate crime but calling that a terrorist act would be a bit of a stretch. In the case of dallas both terms easily apply in my opinion.
