Westminster attack

[Absentee Voting Ghost of Ruin]

Calling things like this single incident of murder and assault in London a "terror attack" reeks of Newspeak, or at the very least bad journalism and a stunted public mind. A violent criminal dead-ender, partly motivated by religious zealotry going on a rampage (with his car and a knife) is an awful violent crime, but it's hardly "terrorism" except by a definition so broad that it robs all meaning from the word.

Compare it to the last attack at Westminster, which actually was a terrorist attack:

Calling this an "incident" is Newspeak. It's not an incident. It is part of a worldwide pattern.

Of human beings, after failing at life, to harm and kill others? Yeah, I think it's called violent crime.

yeah, that totally wasn't politically motivated violence....the location was just a coincidence.  

Yeah, attacks on seats of government are ALWAYS politically motivated. Just like the 1998 attack on the Capitol:
