"With a few keystrokes, the suspect, James E. Holmes, ordered 3,000 rounds of handgun ammunition, 3,000 rounds for an assault rifle and 350 shells for a 12-gauge shotgun — an amount of firepower that costs roughly $3,000 at the online sites — in the four months before the shooting, according to the police. It was pretty much as easy as ordering a book from Amazon."

—

James Holmes bought large stockpile of rounds online.

Let me repeat that: 3,000 rounds of handgun ammunition, 3,000 rounds for an assault rifle and 350 shells for a 12-gauge shotgun. Online. i.e. While on the internet. i.e. With the help of a few clicks here and there.

Speechless.

Unspeakably horrible, but until someone shows me a political motive it’s not terrorism. 

By using such a reductive definition for the word, all violent crimes are terrorism and no violent crimes are terrorism. Stick to the word’s meaning: the use of violence by a state or non-state actor to achieve a political objective.
