If someone plowed their car through the parade intentionally, would that be terrorism?

Terrorism = attempting to change public opinion, policy, or behavior. Not someone who is simply depressed and wants to take it out on others. And not someone who just thinks bombs are cool or wants their name in the paper.

I get what you two are saying and if was planned as a random act of craziness then I would agree that isn't terrorism. From what I have seen though the people interested in committing random acts of craziness typically don't do so with anonymous bombs.
