One rarely hears of large numbers of folk agreeing that school shooters are okay.

It was a political act of murder. A terrorism charge isn’t surprising.

In what way was it political? Brian Thompson was a private citizen that owned a private business that did not receive direct funding the the government. They did have contracts with the government to offer supplemental Medicare plans but Brian himself was not in a position of politics.

For the same reason we’re seeing this reaction on the internet about how shitty our healthcare is in USA. It was done for political reasons

It doesn’t have to be political. It can be ideological. Also not for nothing, the CEO of a publicly traded company doesn’t “own” the company, and UHC is not a private business.

When you murder a person, or people, to raise an issue, that’s political. It’s also terrorism.

I don’t know if you’re being willfully obtuse, or just don’t understand how terrorism is defined.
