    Also, there’s this bullshit:

    “We do know that the city of New Orleans was impacted by a terrorist attack,” Cantrell said, noting the incident is still under investigation.

    Shortly later, an FBI agent told reporters, “This is not a terrorist event.” It was not immediately clear why the mayor and the FBI had differing information.

    I can guess white why.

      How is this not terrorism, while killing a single CEO is? The term is applied entirely arbitrarily.

        Because there’s 51 legal definitions of Terrorism in the US. So effectively, yes. Just like there’s ~3,000 different policies on when and how to use force.

        Note the difference in law between US and New York state.
