Yes, I did. Our trusted authorities have been falsely labeling non-acts of terrorism, and abusing the label for their own particular expedience for quite some time, ever since 9/11 pretty much. And there's very little reason based on the news breaking thus far to wonder if this truck rampage was actually a genuine act of organized terrorism, or any kind of actual terrorism. So I'm very comfortable disregarding any spurious claim that this was terrorism. The idea of course is to take the gravity of the grievous violence of real terrorism, and all the police power that is arrogated on account of such acts as a justified response to such an occurrence, and just keep claiming every time some major act of mass violence happens that the police/authorities are continuously justified in any such further encroachments on the public's normal, standard civil rights, I guess you'd say.
Otherwise you wouldn't label it 'terrorism', because it would make no logical sense. It wouldn't fit the definition, in a very straightforward, super easy to understand way. And the irony is there isn't any terrorism in America as a rule. And it's not common at all. But mass shootings are totally common.
Understanding that not all the known facts have been made public by the FBI, local LE and other agencies, as they continue the investigation seems to have been easily discarded in your eagerness to declare falsehoods.
Verbose bloviating seems to be your schtick.
