In the absence of a flair system on lemmy yet, let’s try to make it easier to scan through posts by type in here by using tags:
Thank goodness, no CEOs were harmed in this act of murder so they aren't sure if it is terrorism.
School shootings are terrorism. Driving cars into crowded places to scare people from even going to outdoor events is terrorism. Enabling a society so broken and awful it's a common occurrence is enabling terrorism.
Perhaps all crime is terror and is a worthless label to exploit the "less worthy criminals"
Maybe all "real crimes" are terror... But most "crimes" under the injustice system are not even crimes.
You mean another way to exploit "less worthy humans"? I'm gonna need to talk to my imaginary friend in the sky about this.
You hate to see this kind of senseless undirected violence when there's so many easily researched shitheads out there who it could have been directed at, instead.
Let's all work towards a safer more peaceful world.
And until we achieve that better world, let's remind each other that no one without body guards and a private yacht is causing the big ugly problems.
Personally don't think this is a fuck cars issue. If someone wants to kill, they'll find a way to do it no matter the medium
Yeah but besides cars and guns let's say, other methods of killing probably require more time and technique making them easier to stop. A truck can be a one button people flattener available to pretty much the entire population (USA)?
We live in a "society" where we're regularly inches from death. Cars are death. These kinds of terror attacks are quite easy and common. It's definitely a fuck cars issue.
Much like with guns, the availability of weapons makes it easy. A car free city is a city that's not full of car-based weapons.
Death toll rises to 15 with about 30 people injured
Also, way to go to this working four year-old with her own apartment:
The victims included the mother of a 4-year-old who had just moved into a new apartment after getting a promotion at work
The suspect, described by one city leader as being in "full military gear," died after a shootout with police, law enforcement officials said.
Car rammings are the preferred tactic among U.S. extremists.
This is the kind of thing that was the big difference from what happened in new york. Already in this thread there is some its fine for the violence and before new york people did not like this, like me. No matter what the cause this indiscriminate bullshit is not ok, but tageted. How is targeted that stop the perpetrator worse than law enforcement or wars? Unless ceos and board of directors bought up the place and did not bring any friends or family, this is not cool.
