14 dead. 1 suspect killed. 'Pipe bombs' thrown at cops
If a political manifesto is found, I guess maybe the government will designate this particular mass murder as an act of terrorism. But it´ll probably end up as yet another lone gunm...sorry dead crazy gunmen story.

Hello :-)
What would you say is the political agenda then with these shootings? As far as i can tell most of them do not have political agendas, it seems to me that guns are far too accessible and not enough is done to look at mental health and solving arguments and bitterness that turns to hate and eventually murder???
Cheers

Don´t have a political agenda? It´s mass murder that terrorizes people. You lap up definitions from fruitcakes that run around the world pretending to fight terrorism and are unable to keep the peace in their own fucking country?
You already said Hello and expressed your enjoyment once. Try again, like a human being this time.
The political agenda is to terrorize people, show them that the authorities can´t defend them and probably don´t give a hoot about their protection anyway. It´s about undermining the general order. And of course the GLARING message is that those who are self-appointed policemen of the world are unable to police their home turf to begin with.

Let´s say that these attacks become a daily occurrence. Do you think maybe that you could glean some political agenda from them at some point?

California is very restrictive on gun laws, ridiculously so. But the people there are far from stupid....
That's kind of an oxymoron, isn't it?

Hello :-)
Mass shootings in the US are not called terrorism because most of them do not have a political agenda. They normally seem to be mentally unwell people going on the rampage or people involved in gangs etc. That is just my opinion

if this was jihadis, all hell is going to break loose.
not saying it is, but the fact that there were 3 shooters is pretty rare for the USA.

I think accurate reporting shouldn't be disparaged. Criticize them when and if it turns out all shooters were Muslim, all were recent illegal immigrants, all went to a Mosque where we know radical teaching was done, but "we don't know if there was a political component to it."
And at that time, call it what it is - "Radical Islamic Terrorism." If that is what it is.

Police said they are not sure if it was terrorism or not because from the perspective of the police and media, it was armed shooters who's goal was to kill. Political influence hasn't been investigated and won't be until the suspects are identified.

Well at least they can't claim there isn't enough gun control like they usually do, I actually think I saw it on Bill Maher's show where a politician there was pretty much boasting about their gun laws, people like him who advocate it so much are going to look pretty stupid now.
Also it depends, this could be just another case of somebody going crazy I don't think all the details are out yet on this one.

because the killers don't usually have political aims

I guess it looks bad for publicity to be in an endless war against terrorism in faraway lands - resulting in ballooning terrorism of course - while terrorists run freely back home and can attack at will. So it can´t be called terrorism.

Here´s yet another one. These terror attacks aren´t quite daily yet but almost seem to be getting there.

Authorities responding to reports of mass shooting in San Bernardino, Calif
At least one person opened fire at a social services facility in San Bernardino, California on Wednesday. Early reports said that 20 people may have been wounded, but as the situation developed it remained unclear how many exactly were hurt.
Reports first surfaced around 11:15 a.m. PT of an incident in the area, and the official San Bernardino Country Sheriff's Department Twitter account said an active shooter was in the area.
