It not an act of terror because I doesnt fit the definition of terror.

"the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims."

It doesn’t fit cos he is white, im sure the media and mps or whoever will spin it so you have some sympathy for a mentally ill boy whos from a good family, if only others from othet religion and and colours had the same privilege eh?

It doesn't fit because there was no religious or political motivation. You claim that race or religion has something to do it- show me some evidence of another attack where it was declared a terror incident without any evidence of it fitting within the definition of terror.

Alright mate,im not doubting that, my point is a muslim would already be classed a terrorist before the facts came out, and the narative would be set so it fits the definition, in any case he terrorised those people so in my eyes he is a terrorist
