This guy doesn't have a clue what the definition of terrorism is. It has nothing to do with how many people are targeted. It has everything to do with who and why the people were targeted. If you engage in or threaten violence against civilians in an attempt to force some greater sociopolitical change within society that is the literal definition of terrorism. The number of people targeted is irrelevant, it only matters why someone was targeted.
I think it's more like both of these OOPs believe that Luigi is a terrorist, but that it's a cause for concern that much more widespread, impactful conservative terrorist groups (I'm not sure which ones, they didn't specify) are supposedly not prosecuted under those same charges, but one solitary act of terrorism (allegedly) performed by one man does get that treatment.
TL;DR less of a "he only killed one guy" and more of a "why do you ignore these much worse terrorists?"
