Stochastic Terrorism

Last edited Fri Jul 20, 2012, 12:16 PM USA/ET - Edit history (1)

This s another case of it



The person who actually plants the bomb or assassinates the public official is not the stochastic terrorist, they are the "missile" set in motion by the stochastic terrorist. The stochastic terrorist is the person who uses mass media as their means of setting those "missiles" in motion.

Here's the mechanism spelled out concisely:

The stochastic terrorist is the person who uses mass media to broadcast memes that incite unstable people to commit violent acts.

One or more unstable people responds to the incitement by becoming a lone wolf and committing a violent act. While their action may have been statistically predictable (e.g. "given the provocation, someone will probably do such-and-such"), the specific person and the specific act are not predictable (yet).

The stochastic terrorist then has plausible deniability: "Oh, it was just a lone nut, nobody could have predicted he would do that, and I'm not responsible for what people in my audience do."

Remember what Rush said the other day


Abput Bane, Bain and the Dark Knight?



But wait, there appears to be dissention within the comrade's ranks......

21. I'm not seeing a connection between such a trite conspiracy theory and some wack job shooting up...


...a theater full of people.



He sternly corrects the disobedient little dissenter with his firm assertion of superior intellect!

23. What you call conspiracy theory

Is well understood science at this point.

Have a good day, some folks simply do not get science.

What a nutcase.

Oh, nadin is a she. And she can add CSI to her ever growing, kook resume...:rolleyes:

Well...that didn't take long. :rolleyes:

A "she" huh?

Plaid shirts and boots I'm sure.

LOL!!!

That thread is a hoot! I'm sooo tempted to go join in. :friendly_wink:


It's her own fault though, she acts like an authority on everything and then gets
mad when her fellow DUmmies call her on it.

Posturing for the vaunted DOTY title early this year. This post alone will make her hard to beat.

Now here's the ever popular emotional appeal to the dark side:

*Major Hogwash (11,558 posts)*
Where is Rush Limbaugh?

Hope you're happy, you bloviating, pasty-assed, sonovabitch!!*
What happened in Colorado is an act of domestic terrorism.*
Plain and simple.*

Your agenda of spewing hate just caused the worst mass shooting in the history of the United States!!



The foaming at the mouth mad dog hatred on DU is always a big hit as long as one bashes the "right" villains (Rush, Sarah, West et al).

She truly is a legend in her own mind. I'd bet about half of DU secretly hates her guts, anyway.:evil-grin:

[SaintLouieWoman]

The guy looked like a lib hippy to me, don't think he'd be following Rush's marching orders. They are way too crazy to waste any time looking there, other than for a sick laugh.

[hoplophobe]

I just checked Media Matters website. I was shocked that DU scooped them on this Rush/shooting connection. Also Drudge.

[Odysseus]

The amazing thing is the degree of dissent against Nadin. Some of these guys are going to get tombstoned if they aren't careful.

I remember when this same bull was said about the lunatic that tried to murder Gabrielle Giffords.
Until it was leaked how much he hated George little-bush.
Then it kind of died down.

This particular lunatic painted his hair red and told police he was the joker - after shooting up a Batman movie viewing. From that you get stochastic terrorism?

This all borders on sick.
Sick that some are politicizing a tragedy while bodies still litter the floor.
Stochastic terrorism?
My ass.

We have turned the nut houses loose on the street and we bitch when the cities make ordinances against them sitting and sleeping in the middle of sidewalks, no semblance of order should be maintained because it is a civil right to be fucking nuts.
We glorify crazies as open minded, intellectual and free spirited, but when someone goes out and blows a bunch of people away suddenly it's the guns fault or a talk show host or an evil hate filled Tea party grandma influencing people.
The whole world has gone fucking nuts!

NB is an idiot. (Stating the obvious.) It/she uses the adjective "stochastic" without having a clue as to what the word means. NB must be one of those people who thinks using polysyllabic words wrong makes them look smart. A "stochastic terrorist" would be a random terrorist and a random terrorist is just that, random.

They say this about global warming, erm, climate change. If you don't believe it then you're an ignoramus redneck that wants the world to burn. Oh, and you hate science. :rolleyes:

Agreed. :cold:

[aka:PBS]

Whats funny, is that the libs always have to find someone to blame for all the countries woes. Just because this guy was a freakin nutjob it was rush's fault that he is a nutjob according to the libs. Why can't they accept the fact that the country is full of nutjobs and that there is no one to blame but themselves?
