      I’m pretty sure it’s up to the state attorney to decide what charges to bring is all I’ll say.

        Pretty sure you could agree he had a personal grudge as well

            I think that for terrorism you need the goal to instill terror in the population. Since it was so specifically targeted and only one victim, I don’t know how well it fits. Also, most of the population doesn’t feel terror, maybe he should be hit with satisfaction charges.

              The definition of terrorism doesn’t say you need to terrify people at all.

              Besides, there’s been a lot of acts that are generally agreed to be terrorist acts, that have targeted a very small group of people, such as a religious group, or even one specific individual. The IRA’s famous reply to Margaret Thatcher comes to mind.

              It seems his goal was to terrify one small group of people, namely senior people in the healthcare industry, and I think that counts.

                I’m starting to think your username isn’t true, at all!
