Yet another terrorist not being labelled a terrorist because of his skin colour

But when people are mentally unstable and "not in their right mind" that is the EXACT time that religious (Jihadi) or cultural (murderous incel) ideologies can creep in and take hold. When people's psychology is unstable it'll try to latch onto something stable. Ideologies being pushed by large numbers of people seem stable, and that's how they "get" people. It doesn't really matter what the ideology is. Anyone heavily involved in an ideology is going to fall into one of two categories - either they were at one point a vulnerable individual susceptible to being indoctrinated and manipulated, OR they are a "pusher" of the ideology using it to their own ends and for their own benefit (vast majority of terrorist leaders have a political goal, they are NOT doing it in the name of religion... and with folks like Andrew Tate the motivation is even more banal. Money.)

In my view, it's textbook Terrorism.

Depends on whether or not he was driven by an ideology.

But this is actually something pretty new. I’m down with calling these people terrorists when they are fuelled by ideology online. It won’t seem the same to a lot of people because they will only see acts of destruction in the name of a so called religion as terrorism

And I can understand that. I think what most people need to do these days is chill tf out and not care so much about other peoples opinions

He killed five women and a security guard who presumably intervened, and he stabbed a baby. He purposefully targeted women. Sounds like a terror attack to me.

Too many violent computer games for the young minds in America.. The thrill of the kill in the game is making far too many want to experience that thrill in real life.

And this mall knifman sounds like a closet case to me, probably blames women for his hidden gayness.
