All I can see

They're all slowly becoming Christian

Again, we seem to be agreeing. But if his motives were based on promoting his political beliefs, whether or not they're correct, whether or not the actions are justified and for the greater good, and regardless of how the government defines it, it's terrorism. You correctly point out that he could also be called a revolutionary as the difference is largely whether or not you agree with him...but that doesn't change the fact that it's still a form of terrorism and people are getting upset that he is being charged with terrorism....which it is, and you would expect the government to use the word with the negative connotation here.

I don't disagree, but he's not being charged with revolutionaryism and people are arguing that it's not "terrorism" so it's kind of besides the point.

The problem is, it very much feels like the "middle of the road" opinion on this issue is "both nations have the right to exist."

Both sides are going to tell you that you are supporting genocide. And now you're a centrist for thinking everyone is shit in the terrorist vs right wing government fight....but that's enough about the IRA.

From what I understand, you would probably have to pay geologists extra (and I guess archaeologists) to not lick stuff they dig out of the ground.

It seems to be the same social views we are all talking about now regarding for profit health insurance being a parasite on our nation. He left messages at the scene on bullet casings referencing a book criticizing the health care industry, and from what I read he didn't even have UnitedHealth insurance. I recall the early reporting after his arrest including a note referencing how it had to be done and he was the first.

If it turns out he really was just disgruntled and just wanted to kill a CEO for purely personal reasons, then yeah, not terrorism. But I feel like you don't leave clues and messages without hoping to be the first of many.

I mean, it was violence for the purpose of promoting a social/political view...which is terrorism.

Whether or not it is justified given our current circumstances, or the fact that the government is going to weaponize the law as much as they can against him are separate issues.

It can be a real uncomfortable discussion if/when terrorism is justified when all other avenues of peaceful change have failed, but it is what it is.

Edit: apparently a lot of people think it only counts as terrorism when you disagree with it.

Sorry, you're not in the right asset class to be in-network.

Really the question is whether the system has pre-authorized the killings.

Lol, it sounds pretty good at .75 speed.

By that standard my couch, leg, most of his stuffies, and just the empty air around him have also passed the canine version of the Turing Test.
