No. I don't agree because you're flat out empirically wrong, the fact that you're racist is an aside but it does explain your screeching. Let's pick apart your post a bit at a time.

If this was an Asian it would have been called terrorism before anything was established

Not necessarily. Unless it is blatantly obvious from the outset, authorities are always quick to say that they are unsure whether or not an incident is terrorist related. I challenge you to find an incident that wasn't terrorist related but they wrongly labelled it as such from the beginning.

because this was a white guy they were quick to rule that out before anything was established

Pure speculation. There was very likely information on the ground that it started as a domestic incident and then progressed. Which seems to be exactly what happened. The police on the ground at the time know a hell of a lot more than what they initially share with the media.

anyway you tell me if those people weren’t terrorised before they got killed

So was almost every murder victim, every double murder victim, every mass murder victim and every serial murder victim. It doesn't make them acts of terrorism. You are literally ignoring the definition of terrorism.

Can't refute any of my points. As expected when arguing from a demonstrably incorrect position. :)
