Shooting(s) at MIT ?



FYI: Fonts are on computer screens. That's a typeface.

Not really:

Font nowadays is frequently used synonymously with the term "typeface", although before the advent of digital typography and desktop publishing, "font" referred to a single size and "typeface" referred to a set of otherwise identical fonts of different sizes.

Beginning in the 1980s, with the introduction of computer fonts, a broader definition for the term "font" evolved. Different sizes of a single style—separate fonts in metal type—are now generated from a single computer font, because vector shapes can be scaled freely. "Bulmer", the typeface, may include the fonts "Bulmer roman", "Bulmer italic", "Bulmer bold" and "Bulmer extended", but there is no separate font for "9-point Bulmer italic" as opposed to "10-point Bulmer italic".

The term font, a doublet of the word fondue, derives from Middle French font, meaning "(something that has been) melt(ed)", referring to type produced by casting molten metal at a type foundry. English-speaking printers have used the term fount for centuries to refer to the multi-part metal type used to assemble and print in a particular size and typeface.

The majority of religious persecution and violence is today directed towards christians.

Most Muslim terrorism is against Muslims..

Iraq ups security as attacks kill 35 ahead of vote - Livemint

attacks, including a bombing at a Baghdad billiards cafe, killed 35 people

latest deaths bring to 118 the number of people killed since Sunday

No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attacks, but Sunni militants linked to al-Qaeda often carry out bombings in both Sunni and Shiite neighbourhoods across Iraq
 
I'm not seeing where the crime "statistically, was more likely to have been committed by white American males than Muslim zealots". Not saying it doesn't happen (McVeigh), but statistically I don't see how white American Males are the most likely suspect in a case of terrorism.

don't want to speak for dude but i didn't think he was talking about terrorism. thought he was referring to shit like this

I was speaking specifically about acts of domestic terrorism which I believe mass shootings falls under. What difference does it make if you blow 100 people up with a bomb, poison their water or shoot them with a rifle?

I'm not going to sit and add up all 2631 incidents of "terrorism" that have happened on US soil in the last 43 years to determine the exact skin colour and origin of the perpetrators but I remain confident that my original statement holds true and I would have bet money on these guys being white American males. Glad I didn't make that bet.

from the article he linked to :

The three terrorist organizations with the largest number of attacks on the US from 2001 to 2011 were the Earth Liberation Front (50), the Animal Liberation Front (34) and al-Qa'ida (4)


but also, as the article alludes to, US attacks on "ordinary civilian members" are so rare that it is hard to compare them to typical US terrorist acts..


About the only characteristic that perhaps doesn't fit the conventional pattern is that it occurred at a sports event, rather than the target being a government building or business. Indeed, the targeting of ordinary civilian members of the public is the truly scary part of the Boston Marathon bombing: with the exception of the Atlanta Olympics bombing of 1996, the idea of attacking a sports event in the United States is novel and unusual.
 
It's weird how this guy actually had a reativly normal social life. doesn't fit the typical lone wolf/terrorist profile

Some newscasters probably getting annoyed trying to pretend they know stuff about these countries and how to pronounce them
 
I'm not an Islam apologist and I tend to agree with you. I was just speaking specifically about this incident which, statistically, was more likely to have been committed by white American males than Muslim zealots. I prefer people to withhold judgement until the actual facts come out instead of speculating as that doesn't do anyone any good.

I agree, in today's times you never know
