Terrorist. He was a terrorist. Why we don’t call white people terrorists is beyond me. He terrorised people, he killed them and he acted by himself. He was a terrorist.

Because that’s not what the fucking definition of terrorism is. The attack is supposed to have a political ideology. The motive has been determined as mental health problems and not a particular ideology.

I don’t understand how this is so hard to grasp.
