@Pinot Take your bigotry and shove it up your ass. Would you try to justify this terror attack if your family members were killed? #Idiot

It is a mass shooting and not a terrorist attack because it does not fit the definition of a terrorist attack. The Australian man who carried out the shooting had no political agenda when he shot them up. He basically hates immigrants. Nothing to do with religion either.

Why is it called 'Mass Shooting' and not 'terror attack' IF? Because the person was not ideally a 'terrorist'? Because people who died belonged to a community ideally labelled as 'terriorist' in any such act? Why so much difference in both the bloods IF?
