Naw, the health insurance CEO (I refuse to call it healthcare, because it isn’t that) didn’t kill people as a political act. He only did it to line his wallet.

Yes that exactly what the professional executive class are, mecenaries for capital (though it cant be mixed up with them also being owners as well as just ridiculously paid frontmen).

No, just a dacoit.
Mercenaries are paid to kill. This one just kills and loots.

A terrorist is someone who enacts violence against civilians in order to create political change. Not saying Luigi deserves any of this, but if his goal was to make a point to the world about the mistreatment of patients at the hands of insurance companies in order to push change, then the terrorism charge is accurate.
What insurance companies do is far worse than terrorism. They harvest the sick, elderly, and injured for their money in order to sate the capitalist urge to increase revenue for the investors. But that isn’t illegal.
