What Terrorism is... 2004-03-03
FreezeM

The unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons.

So, what the guy did may be wrong, it's terrorism. He should get a fine (a bill for the police resources that where used to respond to the calls).
