any intentional act meant to kill as many civilians as possible is terrorism in my book. i recognize there’s no universally accepted definition, but this more strict “wait to see” strategy i have seen more often just function to let conservative white male terrorists get off the hook with the label “shooter” despite their obvious political motives.
