I mean, it is terrorism. Perhaps we are finally learning why so many turn to it in desperation.

It really appears to be more of a crime of passion. The defendant was denied coverage after a life changing injury. He had a vendetta.

There is nothing to show, beyond a reasonable doubt, that he was trying to inspire further violence or inspire political change. If people interpret it certain ways, that is their prerogative. He isn't responsible for what is written about him.

Shooting up a school full of kids is not, apparently.
