News headline



GUNMAN IS DESCRIBED AS A "HOMEGROWN EXTREMIST"


You know, home grown. As opposed to all those extremists that get stamped out at the "kill the world" factory?

Author's Notes/Comments: 

The ways people play with language for attention. I mean damn.
Truth? Headline should read "Douche monkey was a selfish, ignorant, violent scumbag. Nothing more."
But no. Let's give the terror group another 15 minutes.

First off

Homegrown is a misnomer.

Certain people want the narrative to read

How they want it to read .

 

And as Jack said  "  Them people

Can't Handle The Truth  "  .

I hate misnomers

Like "hate crime" and "act of terrorism"
They need to call it what it is - a senseless act of violence. Giving it it's own title gives it more power than it deserves.
I saw a movie or a tv show where the serial killer wanted notoriety, and the arresting detective said his named would be withheld and he would rot in prisin, forgotten.
That is the message we need to deliver to these ass hats. The more notoriety we provide them in global media, the more we empower their sickening senselessness.

Valid point

People need things to have a reason to make sense of the senseless.

I try

Not a fan of a sugar coating or beating around the bush. Bush never did anything for me to earn such concern anyway.
