    @enoggera; many people remain confused as to why teenagers are being labelled 'terrorists' without any presumption of innocence after having killed no-one while those who destroyed police cars and caused injuries to more than fifty police are not even featuring in news reports.

    Even more confusing is that the stabbing attacks by a man who is alleged to have had 'mental health issues' [reported parental religious background is evangelical] which 'allegedly' caused the deaths of seven people has NOT been categorised as 'terrorism'.

    It appears to me that we've corrupted the very meaning of 'terrorism':
