EDIT: The FBI has since corrected themselves and are now treating it as an act of terror.

I'm not on the medias / courts side here, but what the killer of Brian Thompson did is literally terrorism. (Unlawful) political violence with the goal of pushing an ideology or gaining sympathy for once cause or causing fear and panic. The killcount and wether or not you agree with the message doesn't matter. There don't even have to be deaths. The killdozer rampage was an act of domestic terrorism.
Good point I thought about that, but I personally think it's very unlikely that the reason was something else. If the killer is indeed Luigi Mangione (wich we don't know and we should stop acting like he is. We are just harming him) the case is pretty clear.
BS. Ceo murder was self defense, insurance denying claims is terrorism
Absolutely just like American attack on Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam were acts of terrorism; like the attacks of Israel on West Bank, Gaza, Syria; Russian attack on Ukraine are acts of terrorism.
Or is it that if the government does it, it is justified and if an individual kills a despicable human being it is an act of terrorism.
I didn't say anything about justified or nor justified. But yes. If the government does it it's usually not terrorism because it's based in law. That doesn't make murder better. But it's simply by definition not terrorism.
Law is an excuse given to governments doing acts of terrorism.
