Why would you think it was terrorism? A terrorist wouldn't have shot just a single relatively unkown(nationally) politician, when he had an entire city council as potential targets within easy range. No, right now it sounds like simply a political assassination. So Bloomberg's statement that it is not terrorism is not only reasonable, but wise given the NYC post-9/11 context and manhunt taking place. His off-the-cuff melodramatic "This is an attack on all Americans" statement is perhaps more worthy of criticism.

I never thought it was terrorism, I just thought it was funny that that was the first thing said.

I don't live anywhere near NYC so I can imagine that this was everyones first thought, I just found it humorous.
