There are two parts of terrorism: the terror and the organized motive by a group, whether a state or a cult. While this obviously caused terror, what still needs to be verified is, was it done on orders from someone? Or was it the classic “lone wolf”? I don’t believe the average right-winger who ambushes cops after he calls 911 — actual case — is actually taking orders from anyone.

Somebody goes nuts driven by the voices in his head and kills. Terrorism? No, it’s not directed towards a political result.
