An example of honesty and forthrightness:

Q: Would an explosion have placed the testicles in the man's mouth?
A: I do not have that information.

Q: Is water wet?
A: I do not have that information.

Add Ohio State to the list of muslim terror targets. Luckily nobody killed this time.
War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength

Federal statutes say terrorism is:

"the unlawful use of force and violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives"

So yeah, it's terrorism. This guy was unhappy
with how Muslims are treated on campus.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

So a disgruntled drunk will be over charged for the benefit of the press and the local cops.

Now it will just be a short time before someone arrested for jaywalking will be booked as a terrorist.

Are you physic or able to tell a blood alcohol level just by watching a telecast of the dead body ? The Amazing Randi had that $1,000,000 for you if you can.

I'm using drunk as just ONE of many lesser but frequent states. If he was upset that a female walked in front of him, is that "anger at how muslims are treated"? If he got a low grade is that 'cultural anger' or an anger based that in his country education means verbatim memorization and in our country it means to actually understand the material. Does this elevate it to terrorism? If an American doesn't study and fails an exam it is his fault; but if a Muslim does the same thing it seems to be considered a political statement of some sort.

The Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack at Ohio State University, calling the student who drove his car into pedestrians and then slashed people with a butcher knife a soldier of the terrorist group. The Islamic State, which has urged Muslims to carry out attacks in the West, released a one-paragraph statement on its news wire, via the messaging app Telegram, that included the same stock phrases it has used in previous claims.

I think we are a long way from calling everyone who commits a misdemeanor a terrorist. You have to give the USA more credit than that.

In Tampa, everyone who fires a gun inside a dwelling is charged with firing a missle which is a terrorism offense. Routine. I doubt ISIS knew anything about him until it all hit the papers.
