Why should the mayor of Colorado Springs say anything about this?But for the record, I agree that everybody seems to be afraid to make the assumption that seems most plausible. As long as you make clear one isn't asserting it as fact, I don't see the issue.
I can tell you law enforcement is investigating a number of possibilities, but will totally focus primarily on what seems likely - a act of terrorism by a radicalized Muslim.
That was only one example, there are numerous people online, "friends" , politician (huckabee), etc, that were quickly to jump on the PP attack and call it domestic terrorism, trying to say that we shouldnt be affraid of Syrian refugees because we have white domestic terrorists here.
Yet, still nothing of that nature for this one .... yet.
