following headline from MSNBC:
"If the Nashville Bomber were Muslim, he would be called a "terrorist"."
Obviously none of those idiots were anywhere in the United States in 1995 when homegrown American Terrorist Timothy McVeigh blew up that truck full of explosives in front of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal building in Oklahoma City, ending the lives of 168 people.
Terrorism knows no nationality. It also is certainly not confined to attacks here in the United States, either, although we Americans seem to shrug off attacks anywhere else, since our news cycles quickly quit reporting on them.
Now, there comes a news "teaser" that the Nashville Bomber's girlfriend reported to authorities in 2019 that he was building explosives in an RV. Also, reports that he was among worldwide conspiracy theorists that are convinced the new 5G cell phone networks are killing people, and have to be stopped.
If this world has not already officially gone crazy, we are certainly standing in the doorway of the rubber room looking inside. We urgently need the help of a Higher Power, and I don't mean one residing in any skyscraper anywhere in the world.

The media and politicians are too quick to use the term terrorist. Timothy McVeigh was a terrorist getting back at the government for the Waco fiasco. However, this action was not an act of terrorism, it was an isolated action by a nut.
noun - the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, especially for political purposes.

was packed with people, not when it was deserted.
A terrorist also would not have issued a loud recorded evacuation warning broadcast.
The Boston guys were terrorists. The Nashville guy is something else.
He’s bad, but not a terrorist.
