Funny, I saw you arguing that the fact that they didn't call it terrorism proves it wasn't terrorism. Now you are blaming it all on someone else, and still saying that everyone who calls terrorism terrorism is part of an unthinking mob.
That makes no sense at all.
I never argued that what anyone calls it or doesn't call it makes it anything. I argued that there's a definition for terrorism, and this event does not meet it.
"Blaming someone else" for what? No idea what the fuck you're babbling about here. Nor have I alluded to an "unthinking mob". On the contrary, a news purveyor using the terrorism bandwagon isn't unthinking at all, it's calculated manipulation. And as we said way back, CNN is not particularly good at that. OTOH Fox Noise is. That's why they're, to finally reach back to your OP, "number one". Because fear and loathing sells.
Yes, there is a definition of terrorism, and the Boston marathon bombing meets it.
...the unlawful use of force and violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives (28 C.F.R. Section 0.85).
Try again.
That's been brought out days ago, by me, and it supports my point.
Here's the relevant part in case it whizzed by:
to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives
I fully agree with that. I've been saying that throughout.
Try again.
Or not.
