He's a Terrorist Friday's cover...



Friday's cover of the New York Daily News attempts to put to rest one of the major arguments surrounding the San Bernardino mass shooting that left 14 people dead on Wednesday. Many have questioned whether Syed Farook, one of the shooters, qualifies as a terrorist, and the paper answers definitively: Yes. But so do the other recent mass shootings in the U.S. that have been committed by white males.

The paper lists the names and photos of four recent mass shooters—all white males—including Robert Lewis Dear, who killed three people at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado on November 27. It also identifies the National Rifle Association (NRA) CEO Wayne LaPierre as a terrorist, suggesting that his organization's efforts to derail gun reform legislation make him culpable in American mass shootings.

"Syed Farook joins long list of murderous psychos enabled by NRA's sick gun jihad against America in the name of profit," the headline continued.
