He can be charged as a domestic terrorist. I've noticed a trend in the news and by the talking heads in Washington to describe things that used to be crimes as terrorism. It's the new "in" thing.

Yep. According to the Patriot Act, "domestic terrorism" can mean anything that involves "acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State." Under this definition, any crime anywhere committed by anyone can be considered an act of domestic terrorism.

And to think that some brave "patriots" here are just fine with that.
