    So this chap in the states who shot the cameraman and reporter was black, motivated by the

    Charleston killings and targeted white people against whom he held race-based grudges.

    But nobody is calling him a terrorist - just a nutter with a gun and a grudge.

    So where, I wonder, does this leave those who claimed the killer in Charleston would have been labelled a terrorist had he not been white? Only it would seem to me that this case fundamentally disproves that rather silly argument.

    So basically, the black man was racist and he did this because

    some white people had been racist recently..... or he was just another American nutter with a gun

    Both, basically. The point is that the original contention by Jorge was that a case like this would

    instantly lead to the shooter being labelled a terrorist, whereas the murder in Charleston did not because that shooter was white.

    My point is that the reaction to this crime has conclusively proved this contention to be false.

    Nod It was a silly argument at the time and really a quite bizarre reaction to

    a horrific event

    Indeed. I wouldn't normally go out of my way to use something like this to make a point, but that

    was such a wrongheaded suggestion that I feel it's justified in this instance.

    His name was Vester, but that wasn't good enough. So he chose to be known as Bryce.

    Americans are, without a doubt, the most f**ked up of all earthly organisms.

    I agree... bloody Americans and their guns

    Can't believe that reporter was 24

    At least 30 minimum!

    Nod I thought that. Although that overabundance of teeth and uniform blonde hair that certain

    American women sometimes have can make them all look pretty nondescript.

    He also claimed to be a "quare"....so black, gay and armed are not a good mix...

    talk about chips on the shoulder - this bloke had a large portion of them....
