By Curt's reasoning, the bombing of a "women's clinic" would not be
terrorism if the clinic was unoccupied at the time. And, a cross
burning would not be terrorism if the only people present were Klan
members and/or Neo-Nazis.

If the gas tank on the burning Escalade explodes, and kills an innocent
bystander or firefighter that is terrorism, no matter the intent of the
person who started the fire.

And, for the person who let free "a bunch of minks", do they have any
idea of the fate of the minks or any innocent person would may come in
contact with the minks.
