I donβt see any indication that the NYC shooting was a terror attack. It reads like the all too common street shooting over petty bullshit, although my assessment could change if the story builds.
Regarding the other two, while both vehicles having been rented through the same company is suspect, Iβm definitely in a wait and see point. Sometimes coincidences are just that.
The shooting in NYC sounds like gang-related violence. Supposedly a drive-by shooting at a memorial for a kid that was killed a few months earlier. Everyone has been pretty explicit that it's "not linked to terrorism."
Domestic or otherwise, I think you're being a bit hyperbolic by calling all those events terrorism. Is there a violence problem, sure, a rash of terrorism, I don't think so. There's only one event with a clear link to terrorism.
I edited the OP to acknowledge my poor choice of title.

There seems to be a lot of unrest going on globally. And these weapons are so extremely capable. I don't even want to walk around with the equivalent of root access in my pocket, and I routinely remove user-write access to my files that I desire to preserve as a backup. So why carry guns somewhere that you know that you plan to get smashed-out drunk at? That just seems highly irresponsible to me.
Though the 3 that I mentioned (or possibly just 2 of them?) seemed more intentional, where someone had to prepare the incendiary explosive devices in advance prior to deployment. And if anything, that just might be worse. But yeah, they are fucked up either way.
I heard about the incidents in New Orleans & Las Vegas indirectly, having seen posts about them on Lemmy.
Lemmy can be a great source of news:-).
4, if we're including the guy with enough explosives to take out several small countries.
The BBC rss feed I'm subscribed to is pretty high volume, but it's also very thorough.
Why subject yourself to that?
...the news in general, rss feeds, or the BBC?
