definitely a political killing to assassinate a politician. i think the lefties as you call it are probably trapped between responding in kind, and fundamentally disagreeing with the categorisation.
if you and your mates happen to be racists, and inspired by stormfront, go out and shoot some people with darker skin than you, is it terrorism?
either way, it should be the same definition all round and not one that is self serving and disingenuous.
Agreed but this man shouted "Allahu Akbar" during the spree and, judging by his online ramblings, seemed to be an extreme individual. If you consider Thomas Mair a terrorist (I do, as evidenced by shouting "Britain first" before killing Jo Cox) then you should also consider an extreme act like this Terrorism when linked with his actions before the crime.
I just think it stinks of hypocrisy that he was seen as some sort of Far Right symbol whereas the many Muslim extremists are written off as "mentally unstable" and not terrorists.
