Alternet: Criminologist: Six Things You Should Know About Mass Shootings

One point I disagree about - He says "Mass shootings are not terrorism" because "few active shooters involved in mass shooting have a political message or cause. The church shooting in Charleston, South Carolina was a hate crime." Pro-life related shootings are very definitely terrorism - they are clearly and without a doubt "the use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims."
