    No, they aren’t. This is a specifc threat…against one person. Terrorism is unfocused violence, waged against large groups of innocent people.

    It would be terrorism if the criminal (and this is criminal) threatened to blow up the building they were in…but this is too focused to be terrorism.

      They say “you sing the national anthem at dodgers stadium again and you’ll die”

      That’s a terroristic threat of violence at a place with 55000 people.

      Go be dumb somewhere else dumy

      Threats against one person, sure, but don’t ignore the context in which this happened. Trump has emboldened racists and encouraged ICE to tear apart families. People who simply want to better their lives. Don’t get it twisted, this is state encouraged terrorism. Just because its against a single person doesn’t mean they don’t intend to terrorize the entire hispanic/latino community.
