WTF is the deal with this "if he's white he can't be called a terrorist"?

Some subconscious white supremacy operating there in the rational that a white person can't be labeled a terrorist.

HE PLANTED A BOMB IN AN AIRPORT. OF COURSE HE'S A TERRORIST.

...that it wasn't returned to him. After all, a brown person killing a white person is terrorism while a white perpetrator killing anyone in any number is a "forgotten voter".

My cynicism is getting so deep I wouldn't have been surprised if they actually did return it. Sob.

The only info released public so far had been what had to be in court filings.

I'm thinking they are suspecting there are more involved and working to get them, but at the same time it doesn't fit with how he did it.

There are certainly a lot of lone wolves. I understand that they have a TV network and a bunch of radio shows - Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, etc.

should be deported back to Europe (about the LV shooter). Puts things into perspective about what others go through.
