Tragic Shooting in Kansas City: Is It an Act of Terror?

April 16, 2014 – Segment 4

We turn our attention to Sunday’s tragic shooting in Kansas City, where a self-proclaimed white supremacist murdered three people outside a Jewish community center. One of the questions we consider is why this incident hasn’t been labeled a terrorist act.

Our guests are: A. Adar Ayirah, Project Manager of the More in the Middle Campaign for Associated Black Charities and facilitator and analyst at Baltimore Racial Justice Action, a program of Fusion Partnerships; Zainab Chaudry, Executive Director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) Maryland; and Devin Burghart, Vice President of Institute for Research and Education on Human Rights and co-author of Guns & Gavels: Common Law Courts, Militias & White Supremacy.
