If any of the victims were being targeted to profit from the sale of their body parts or body tissue would it still be, in your opinion, terrorism?

It's probably a terrorist attack, but more information is needed at this point.

I realize this is an assault on planned parenthood in the heart of fundamentalist evangelical power, but it doesn't hurt to just wait a few hours to get a more complete picture of what is going on.

Yes.
SEE http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/terrorism

by the way Planned Parenthood doesn't profit from the selling of fetal tissue.

Do you realize that this is a situation in progress and that commenting on the sale of body parts might not be appropriate?

FYI: Some national news outlets are reporting that the suspect has been detained.

Not true.

Why? You think the suspect is reading this message board while he commits his felony?

Or are you just trying to avoid the hypocrisy in your double standard?
