The article draws comparisons to Mexico, where bombs are a part of gang warfare.
Guns are efficient killing machines but I'd argue they represent a greater chance of being caught when attempting to kill or injure a lot of people at once.
And this is terrorism, per the article, it's just seen as intra gang, not general public. That's also a +1 for a bomb, which can be hidden in plain sight and doesn't have to "work" to be good as a deterrent for rival gangs.
- nabla9 7y agoThis is not terrorism by any definition. Terrorism must have political agenda. It's political violence against non-combatants.
