The exact same actions could've been terrorism with this as the plan, but it sounds more like an angry drunk than executing on a premeditated plan.
Contrast that with someone like Dylan Roof, who would match the terrorist label much better:

- mikeash 10y agoThere are a lot of conflicting definitions of terrorism out there, but they generally don't seem to require an elaborate or long-premeditated plan.
- baybal2 10y agoThe definition of terrorism - is what attorney general define it as on a whim. Just like in USSR - where the dictionary definition of communism and 20 other *isms was changed and amended every year
