I agree with your point, but will split hairs on using the word "terrorism". I think that should be reserved for people that commit atrocities for some political aim. I'm fairly sure the company in question (I assume Union Carbide) did not poison the town to advance a political agenda.

Profit at all costs is a political agenda.

Kinda terrifying that you can get away with shit if you just argue that it's not politically motivated, you did it because you really wanted a yacht.

  You also get a lesser offense killing someone accidentally as opposed to a premeditated murder. There’s a difference between an intentional act, an accident, and an accident due to extreme neglect and our laws reflect that.

    how is it not intentional? Union Carbide higher up ppl knew there was safety issue, but because of profit they didn't give a damn. The lesson here is do criminal activities through company, so that there are chances that you can escape from it. https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2019/dec/08/bhopals-tragedy-has-not-stopped-the-urban-disaster-still-claiming-lives-35-years-on https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2019/dec/08/bhopals-trage...

Money is the ultimate political agenda.
