Another terrorist attack in Los Angeles. A man was intentionally hit head-on by a road-raging driver. The driver tried to hit him as hard as possible. (www.foxla.com)

Yea, this is definitely attempted murder by a road-raging loon but, a terrorist attack, this is not.

    It isn't.

    The intent matters - terrorism is to use terror from the act to influence decisionmaking of other people not involved in the accident directly (to send a message with your actions/war/policy/attacks/extreme-passive-aggressiveness/etc).

    What St Luigi did also wasn't terrorism, but the wealthy group that somehow identifies themselves as the same scumbags as that healthcare CEO are a bunch of entitled delicate flowers that want to stay where they are & they indeed have the power to send a terrorist message back with what's happening to Luigi.

    I dont know...

    Non-state attacker; politically motivated; intent to spread fear...

    Seems to tick a few boxes.

    “She said that the driver of the red car stopped to flirt with a woman who was waiting at the light. When the light turned green, and the red car didn't move, Lori said her son tapped the bumper to get the driver's attention. The driver didn't like that.”

    How is that politically motivated?
