But it's not murder in a general sense, it's murder by white supremacists. > It is unfair if we're talking about terrorism, because prison murders are not terrorism. Sure it is, if it's political, ie about white supremacy. Terrorism: > the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.
