> getting the NSA, FBI, and CIA involved would be overkill
Who says you need to?
I don't think we're arguing the same thing here.
I'm against escalating an idiot's crime to "terrorism" because of the necessary law enforcement response that would ensue, and you're arguing about broadening the definition of what constitutes terrorism, without broadening and escalating the enforcement level.
Kind of seems silly to call it terrorism if you're not going to treat it like terrorism. This particular perpetrator would be out of place in Gitmo.
