Something that struck me as really odd was a conversation taking place this afternoon on CNN as to whether or not the gunman was a "terrorist." The verdict was no, because he has no known ties to organized terror groups around the world. And of course, lexically, I understood what they meant, but it still struck me as an absurd debate. Of course he was a fucking terrorist. He terrorized and murdered innocent people. Al Qaeda doesn't have a trademark on the word, CNN.
