Would you say this is an honest statement, or an intentionally misleading one?

Follow up question - with thousands of hours of footage of the events, has anybody been charged with any murders?

Last question, why would you post an intentionally misleading statement like that, do you think it helps your argument or hurts it?

The comment you're replying to is an example of what they meant by Trump derangement syndrome. People convince themselves of things that are blatantly just not accurate because "orange man bad".

Quantity of death should have no impact on whether something is terror or not. 10 people died at Astroworld, that was obviously not a terror attack. If the Boston bombings had merely injured people instead of killed them--or even if it had miraculously failed and hurt no one--we would obviously still call that a terror attack. No one is going to be scared to visit the Capitol on January 6, 2022 or 2023, unlike how people were afraid to go to las vegas or the Boston marathon after the attacks.

Mostly rioters or suicide later.
