[Breaking News] Orlando Nightclub mass-shooting.

As far as I know, white people have committed more mass shootings (4 or more I guess you could say) than any other race. If you want to get technical, black people may have shot more people than white people due to various reasons, see African-American population in Chicago where there are a lot of shootings daily.

You also failed to mention exactly why I am wrong, or what race has committed more mass shootings in the whole U.S., not per capita. Not that it really matters, it's horrible no matter who committed it.

Either way, my definition of terrorism is correct, especially when used coaquilly. Just in case, I've included the Merriam-Webster version of the word:

Terrorism (simple definition): the use of violent acts to frighten the people in an area as a way of trying to achieve a political goal.

Full Definition of terrorism : the systematic use of -terror- especially as a means of coercion

Full Definition of terror 1: a state of intense fear 2a : one that inspires fear : scourge b : a frightening aspect c : a cause of anxiety : worry d : an appalling person or thing; especially : brat 3: reign of terror 4: violent or destructive acts (as bombing) committed by groups in order to intimidate a population or government into granting their demands

In other words, terrorism is when someone or a group that uses terror (definition included for your convenience) in the cases that I'm talking about, a person that uses terror (violent or destructive acts to intimidate a population).

Each shooters reason is different, but they all have the same effect, they terrorize that community at the very least.

Either way, I'm not going to argue anymore over pedantics.
