What social view was he attempting to promote? Afaik, he was exacting revenge against the person he felt was most responsible for his and other people's suffering. That's not terrorism, that's murder. Had he issued ultimatums, and published his manifesto, then maybe it would be terrorism.

It seems to be the same social views we are all talking about now regarding for profit health insurance being a parasite on our nation. He left messages at the scene on bullet casings referencing a book criticizing the health care industry, and from what I read he didn't even have UnitedHealth insurance. I recall the early reporting after his arrest including a note referencing how it had to be done and he was the first.

If it turns out he really was just disgruntled and just wanted to kill a CEO for purely personal reasons, then yeah, not terrorism. But I feel like you don't leave clues and messages without hoping to be the first of many.
