    So it was a civilian on civilian kill. Not a militant group/gang/mercenary.

    If the “battle” was pertaining to healthcare denials, he was currently battling and his group took up battle after he was gone.

      The perpetrator of an act of terrorism isn’t part of the definition. They need not be affiliated with a group or military.

      I find it curious how many people on Lemmy were gleefully posting about CEOs and billionaires being scared because of this attack, and then to see push-back about the label of terrorism (where fear is part of the outcome, hence the name).

      The saying is “one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter,” right?
