He was definitely trying to instill fear, but I don't see what his political motive could have been with random bombs. Most of the victims were people of color, but is there any proof he actually targeted them? If he did, then he's a terrorist. If not, he's basically like the dude in Tampa..just killing for sport.
He certainly terrorized a community but whether or not he was a terrorist depends on his motivation. The definition of a terrosrist is "a person who uses unlawful violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims." Those political aims are often motivated by religion, but not always. If the police are correct and he wasn't politically or religiously motivated, then no, he's not a terrorist.
By the way, I agree with one of the comments below the cartoon - those who make something about race that isn't about race at all are being racists themselves.

... like "conservative" pundits like Bret Stephens (who believes in abolishing the Second Amendment and legalizing 30 million illegal aliens)?
Did it ever occur to you that some conservatives believe different things from other conservatives? But that they're still both conservatives?
You're basically telling us that, for example, conservatives who are against free trade aren't actually conservatives. Except that, many conservatives ARE against free trade. But that doesn't mean they aren't conservative.

For SPORT? Really?? Like it’d be ok if he’d just gotten a hunting license?

The best way to show that you're one of the cool kids, and definitely not a racist... is to become an anti-white racist. ...or an anti-white racism ally.
