>Terrorism, in its broadest sense, is the use of intentional violence and fear to achieve political or ideological aims. The term is used in this regard primarily to refer to intentional violence during peacetime or in the context of war against non-combatants (mostly civilians and neutral military personnel). The terms "terrorist" and "terrorism" originated during the French Revolution of the late 18th century but became widely used internationally and gained worldwide attention in the 1970s during the Troubles in Northern Ireland, the Basque conflict, and the Israeli–Palestinian conflict.

Yup, people can apply that definition. But that does not negate the possibility of it being a form protest.

Yes it does. There is no protest here. None. It's theft of services, it's public endangerment... but it's anonymous and has 0 message.
It simply isn't protest.
"I sent the fire department to a place where there's no fire.... to protest fires."

It has a message if you look for it. It could be a message to the politically obstinate that it could happen in their community in an attempt to motivate people to take reforms seriously.
I don't know if wer even put forward new legislation after mass shootings anymore.
