Why Wasn't Dylan Wolf's Labelled a Terrorist?

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

In the loom of the histeria and preception of the San Bernardino shooting I have to ask why wasn't Dylan Wolf called a terrorist? In reality his actions were as terrorist as you get. He carfully decided his target location, his mode of attack, the time, and his targets. He essential executed a very well-planned attack on an ethnic minority by killing a legislator, civic leaders, and economic leaders. Yet politicians like Rick Perry went on national TV and denied it was a terrorist attack. Image a high ranking Islamic politician denying a terrorist attack? The media would have crushed them. The question: why wasn't Wolf's action treated as terrorism? Why were the American people denying this as an attack?

he didn't represent an organization and it was a single act?

Terrorism is about inflicting violence that targets an ethnic group, political group, or nation. Wolf's speech and his actions were design to weaken an ethnic groups political and economic power in SC. Thats the difference between terrorism and mass violence

Oh but he did friend, no way a CAC with a 9th grade education in South Carolina would drive 250 miles from his home to kill a sitting Senator and his congregants in THAT specific church without being funded and told what to do by an organization but ill let you cook in your ignorance

you just described a hate crime, not "terrorism"

Tim McVeigh was a terrorist according to the US Govt.

I also think scale matters.

Its all syntax at the end of the day, which I know matters, but to say its a white thing isn't exactly accurate either.

I wish they WOULD charge him with Terrorism, but I feel that there are some other qualifications that hadn't taken place as they did in other cases...maybe its just outright racism.

Was the south carolina thing a federal case or a state case?

He could charged with either. He was intimidating a civilian population with mass killings with a specific purpose. My main argument was why wasn't he considered as a terrorist, even by just name. The San Bernardino shooters were labeled terrorists even thou they have no meaningful ties to terrorist organization or directly aim there violence at anyone particular. Wolf did both yet people shy away from that label or outright denied it.

San Bernardino (fi you believe the cops) had foreign funding and connections to terrorist organizations outside the US

This guy was charged with terrorism and didnt have any ties to a terrorist organization and in the grand scheme of things his scale wasnt any bigger than Dylan Roof
