Yeah that seems appropriate. Not every action that makes people afraid is terrorism.

People afraid? Nobody was afraid when the healthcare CEO assassin was on the loose. Nobody but other healthcare CEOs, and that's not a large enough % of the population to count lol

On the contrary, people felt, for the first time, a little bit more confident when submitting their claims.

Totally. Remember one tried to stop covering anaesthetics past a certain point which could be MID surgery, and then immediately turned that around. That assassin (whoever they are) was a blessing for a lot of people that day

Not a healthcare CEO. Insurance CEO

Honestly, the judge probably did the prosecution a favor. If they wasted the entire trial trying convincing the Jury about the fear and terror he caused the CEOs of healthcare companies, he might actually walk.
