Clearly, everyone that has been mentioned acted in order to gratify their obsession.
Thanks for reminding me about Holmes rigging his apartment with explosives.
Now, suppose police would have entered Holmes’ apartment and the explosives detnanated killings several police officers and a half dozen people who lived in the complex.
Would that make Holmes a terrorist?
No. The point is he wasn't planning to go back there, you see. I'm just trying to point out why these acts are different. You're playing rhetorical tiddly winks.
You know, the news just came on with a big banner : TERROR IN BOSTON. Why don't you write them a letter? Tell them it was just a couple of crazies. NBC Chicago.
