How in the hell did they ever decide Fort Hood was "workplace violence"? I guess the Boston Marathon bombing could be called "recreational violence".
Definition of terrorism.
Terrorism is the systematic use of violent terror as a means of coercion. In the international community, however, terrorism has no legally binding, criminal law definition.[1][2] Common definitions of terrorism refer only to those violent acts which are intended to create fear (terror); are perpetrated for a religious, political, or ideological goal; and deliberately target or disregard the safety of non-combatants (civilians). Some definitions now include acts of unlawful violence and war. The use of similar tactics by criminal organizations for protection rackets or to enforce a code of silence is usually not labeled terrorism, though these same actions may be labeled terrorism when done by a politically motivated group.
Under Bill 168, workplace violence is defined as:
•“The exercise of physical force by a person against a worker in a workplace that causes or could cause physical injury to a worker”
•“An attempt to exercise physical force against a worker in a workplace that could cause physical injury to a worker”
•“A statement or behaviour that is reasonable for a worker to interpret as a threat to exercise physical force against the worker, in a workplace, that could cause physical injury to the worker.”
