In one of your 11 SEP ’21 twitter threads which included the list of all terrorist attacks since 1961,
I found something particularly relevant in the form of a comment by A.G. John Ashcroft from 2001.
He concludes his statement with this comment:
“…………. when people hurt others and invoke terror, it’s a terrorist act.”
“Anthrax Attacks, October-November 2001: On October 7 the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that investigators had detected evidence that the deadly anthrax bacterium was present in the building where a Florida man who died of anthrax on October 5 had worked. Discovery of a second anthrax case triggered a major investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The two anthrax cases were the first to appear in the United States in 25 years. Anthrax subsequently appeared in mail received by television networks in New York and by the offices in Washington of Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle and other members of Congress. Attorney General John Ashcroft said in a briefing on October 16, “When people send anthrax through the mail to hurt people and invoke terror, it’s a terrorist act.”

Using Ashcroft conclusions , , ,
Do you agree that the Gov. of Florida is a terrorist b/c he is denying his citizens protection against a deadly virus ??
And similarly, couldn’t the people who violently invaded the Capitol bldg in DC and attacked police officers also be called terrorists ??
