Semantics should not even come into this equation. This SOB killed indiscriminately...hope he survives the gut shot so he can get the chair down the road.

It’s a trope. Calling somebody a coward is superior (presumably) and preferable (again, presumably) to actually doing something effective like putting mosques under surveillance, profiling, harsh interrogation, etc. it’s like the bullshit “We won’t let them change our way of life.” Guess what, assholes: They’ve already changed our way of life.
I get a real laff when a pussy like deblasio or an oily scumbag like cuomo calls somebody willing to kill, and die, for a cause a “coward.”

Who announces where they are going to attack? None of this is making sense. Why doesn’t law enforcement get to the bottom of who is encouraging these attacks in the nation and do something about it, like deport a bunch of people? NOT doing that is cowardly.

To think it’s not cowardly is retarded.

Not cowardly would be attacking the cowards for doing this cowardly act.

For American politicians commenting on such attacks, the attribution of cowardliness is de rigeur.. They do it for domestic purposes which I confess frankly seem obscure. It has no effect whatsoever on future perpetrators, so it really is a pointless rhetorical exercise. What an eloquent way, correctly, to put it. Now, they need to get off of their bottoms and go find out who is organizing this and imprison/deport/try/execute them. This name-calling is getting us nowhere.

There's a reason why this pr!ck didn't do this in Texas. Well, YOU may actually have a point.

You are confusing suicide with courage.
Bipolar persons lose all human sensitivity and control when experiencing an episode, like a fit of epilepsy, the risk of suicide becomes meaningless. The only thing meaningful thing to such disturbed persons is in a perverted idea of dignity as a martyr.
Such disturbed persons plan for suicide, and plan an Islamic victory over infidels who are unaware and defenseless.
Ergo, the terrorist commits cowardly acts.

However, really, how was his attack cowardly? Any time you go after people who have done you no harm and who can not strike back that is cowardly.
Do you assign the same bravery to all terrorists or just this one?

Not cowardly is fighting the normal way. Announcing your identity and intention, not sneaking and pretending, like some kind of animal.

FYI, it was the @sshole Bill Maher saying almost the identical thing about the 9/11 attackers.
