Here is your comment from upthread:

> Are we going to call every road rage incident (1200/year in the US) a terrorist attack now?

From: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15032455

Which has your name affixed to it.

So you are trying to equate this murder to one similar to roadrage, and they have absolutely nothing to do with each other. This person meant to do bodily harm to many others and/or to kill them outright because they were counter protesting his happy family friendly outing with his Neo Nazi buddies. To try to equate this to roadrage is ridiculous.

> Road rage can end in murder.

Yes it can, but this wasn't roadrage.

> It does not become a terrorist act.

Indeed, roadrage does not become a terrorist act. But again, this wasn't roadrage.

Here is the definition of roadrage for you:

"sudden violent anger provoked in a motorist by the actions of another driver."

It does not include protesters in groups advocating violence against others going to their cars and subsequently purposefully ramming those cars into crowds of defenseless pedestrians.
