The FBI is treating the case as “an act of targeted violence,”
Not an act of terrorism, because Trump supporters could never be terrorists with the current head of the FBI.
gotta love doublespeak. like how when the news reports on Gaza, they reference Israeli families and Palestinians
Except that it actually isn't always relative.
You can tell which society actually is more just and righteous because it's the one that's more egalitarian.
It's all relative. Even in that situation there is no egalatarianism between the two states. Perhaps the internal egalatarianism of one state depends on the oppressiveness of the other (eg. "democratic" empires reliant on oppressed colonies). There's no freedom until we're all free, etc.
Was the shooting politically motivated?
The Catholic shooting had the shooter writing tons of political messaging on weapons and such. That's why it was both "targeted violence" and "terrorism".
Seems the Mormon shooter just didn't like Mormons, in general or some specific ones.
That requirement never bothers them when it suits their narrative.
"Terrorist" literally means "violence the state doesn't like".
