    IANAL, this is not legal advice

    “Terrorism” has a wide meaning, as in any action that may instill fear in some target.

    Texting your ex that “I’m at your address with a knife with your name on it”, is condidered terrorism. Shooting your neighbor’s dog as a “message” to your neighbor, is considered terrorism. Murdering a CEO with a message to other CEOs and anyone working in an entire industry, is considered terrorism.

    If BLM people played their cards right, they probably could sue many instances of racial profiling for terrorism.

    For more information, and some other educational situations (both direct and indirect) about the day-to-day of US judiciary, check Judge Fleischer TV

      I don’t think it is in any sane country. IANAL though so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
