    I’d say that yes it was definitely at least partially politically motivated, since it was just as much an attack against the system as it was against the person, but hardly terrorism since there was no intent to scare the general public.

      He probably did intend to scare insurance company executives. I can see calling it terrorism, even if I think he should get off.

      I’ve dealt with back pain, and during the height of my battle with the insurer I absolutely would’ve been tempted to kill the fuckers given the chance.

        Yes but they are not civilians, the are enemy combatants so it is fair game.

        Also Luigi if he did it, literally spared witness who is in fact a civilians.

        Terrorism charge will hopefully back fire.
