terrorism requires terror. They're disruptive not terrorist.

According to 6 U.S. Code § 101

(16) The term “terrorism” means any activity that—

(A) involves an act that—
(i) is dangerous to human life or potentially destructive of critical infrastructure or key resources; and
(ii) is a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State or other subdivision of the United States; and
(B) appears to be intended—
(i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population;
(ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or
(iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping.

Sounds like this act pretty much fits the definition precisely...

Yes it does. I still think it’s wrong to equate the two.
