So there seems to be a big argument that always comes up whenever something like a mass shooting occurs here in the US. The argument usually pops up whenever the media isn't immediately calling the perpetrator(s) a terrorist when it's someone who isn't middle eastern. Do you consider the Las Vegas shooter a terrorist or not? What about other mass killings here in the US that haven't labeled the assailant(s) as terrorists? What is it that we are really trying to say when we label some people terrorists and others as just "deranged" and "mentally ill"? Do you find it meaningful to label any mass killing event as terrorism?
