So no, its not terrorism.

People have been describing these individuals as Chinese CCP agents. They appear to be purposefully trying to infect surfaces in public places. What do you think?
People say a lot of things, especially on Social media.

These clips appear to be from somewhere in Australia. We DK when they were filmed. The woman with the bag may have been shop lifting, or not.

Explain why. 1 sentence answers rarely suffice.

It will certainly be treated as domestic terrorism. I have no idea whether any of them have any particular political goals. I suppose just wanting everyone to die and the world to burn is it's own political goal, so it probably also counts as terrorism.

Did they have a political, religious, financial or any other motive? If not, then no, its not terrorism.

Well, by your own admission then, you should change your answer to "I don't know." Prove it otherwise.

That's not the way the justice system in the US works. You are (supposed to be anyway) innocent until proven guilty.

So still your "no" answer is incorrect because I posed a hypothetical question, and these individuals may have not gone through the justice system yet. So hypothetically, if that was their true intent found by the courts, the answer would be yes. But we are not sure so we can only speculate at this point.

Are you still going to try to argue your position?

Do you consider it terrorism? Back up your reasoning for your answer.

Don't try to deflect (I guess you just forefit your position)

By the way I posed the initial question by starting this thread if you didn't notice. Are you requiring me to answer my own question?

It's open for everyone to discuss.
