Draw whatever conclusions you want. Save the "Big Brother" nonsense. Stop

trying to be politically outraged by every single event. My point was simply that active investigations for something like this aren't usually completed in under 24 hours. And they often evolve as more facts are discovered. Just because something isn't IMMEDIATELY labeled a terrorist attack doesn't mean it won't be. It means authorities are trying to gather facts and evidence before making any conclusions. And that's how it should be. While civilians are free to jump to whatever conclusions they want, authorities should take their time and get it right. This should all be common sense but as I said in another thread people (like yourself) are way more concerned with political narratives than empathy and compassion.
