Nope, "low-down varmints" and "good-fer-nothin scoundrels" are the time-honored elixir. Along with "Get thee away, spawn of Satan". Next thing you know we'll have the rabble performing exorcisms and chaos will ensue.

Wow moat, this is surprising.

Wow moat, this is surprising. I really thought that calling the white men that mostly do mass shootings Cracker terrorists would be as effective as Trump's and the republicans idea that calling other terrorists radical islamic terrorists would stop them. I remain convinced that would stop them though rmrd's powerful suggestion that we shout Beetlejuice would likely be just as effective too.

I we call terrorists

If we call terrorists "Beetlejuice", they will go away. If we say "Candyman" three times, they will appear.

I don't have an argument to offer against your statement but I don't understand it.
In the small window of my experience, people who want to hurt others are not conditioned by how others talk about them.

The proposition that declaring such acts as the result of "radical Islamic terrorists" would have changed the chances of them happening is not self evident.

For myself, I like living in a system where acts of extreme violence are called crimes and the people who commit them are not recognized. Only their actions.

Keep the blindfold on the lady holding the scales.
