I agree this guy is a terrorist, just as much as McVeigh, the shoe
bomber and the jock strap jihadist.
I also agree with Scotty that the Sea Shepards, ELF tree spikers and
ski lodge arsonists, along with abortion clinic bombers and the people
who used to burn draft centers are terrorists too.
Anyone who is willing to endanger life to promote their cause is a
terrorist.
Unfortunately that makes John Adams a terrorist too ... at least that
is what King George thought.
One could argue that John Adams killed in self defense? I am not really
familiar with his history, it's been a long time since I studied that

I doubt John Adams actually killed anyone himself but he advocated the
violent overthrow of the British government in the American colonies.
In that regard he was the bin laden of that movement.
Adams had no military experience and didn't engage in war while president.
He was a lawyer and a diplomat.
But in the British eyes, a treasonous traitor.
By your logic, Osama Bin Laden didn't pull the trigger either. Has lots
of degrees including economics.
Don't get me wrong, if I saw Osama and could kill him, I would. But the
point is, one sides hero is the other sides enemy. It is relative to
your position in the field.
