Agreed. At least he's been charged with 2 counts of terrorism.
One thing I've noticed is the people are referring to him now as a madman or crazy, before when it was believed it was linked to Islamic fundamentalists, it was "terrorism".
This man meticulously planned and executed two devastating attacks with military like precision. If that is not terrorism, I dont know what it. Time we started looking much harder at ALL extremists rather than just those of Islam

Good, because that's exactly what it is yet people seem somewhat keen to downplay this point, as if a blue eyed blond man could not possibly be a terrorist..
He's also still an extremist. Just happens to (apparently) be a far RW extremist, rather than an Islamic jihadist. Terrorism is simply instilling terror in a large group of people through things like bombs
But its the fact that he is not an Islamic Jihadist, that people downplay the term, as if terrorism is unique to them only that irks me. No he has to be crazy, not a right wing extremist terrorist

I think it was on Newswipe before where Brooker talked about the media narrative and how Terrorism has changed. It used to all be about white folk (Neo-****'s, Northern Ireland, Oklahoma City Bombings etc) but then it switched to extremist Muslims after 9/11.
Now when it's a white guy it's generally called Extremism and not Terrorism.
