“Terrorism” means the use of attacks against a non-combatant civilian population in order to instill terror and achieve a political change. This is what all the Islamic attacks have been.
This does not even slightly meet that definition. It was a street battle - otherwise, why the bats, clubs, flaming aerosol cans, cement -filled soda cans, etc. - between two non-peaceful groups of civilians who came there to rumble. So in other words, it’s riot-related. If the guy did this intentionally, of course he’s guilty of murder and assault. But it’s not terrorism.
Exactly. Terrorism is meant to cause fear in people just living everyday life. This guy’s actions doesn’t instill fear in me, because in my everyday life I don’t go out in the street and throw rocks and urine bags at people I don’t agree with.
