Words have meaning. You cannot terrorize a statute. You can threaten it, you can vandalize it, you can blow it up, you can pull it down, you can expose it to bird poop. But it is not a conscious being, and cannot be terrorized.
It’s true that the statue is an inanimate thing but it is an expresion of speech or beliefes. Any attack on the statue is an attack on the beliefes of others.
You do not know the defination of terror. The victim of terror is never the intended target.
