Terrorists?
 
As I stated in the previous thread on this subject, not much has changed in a hundred years.
Today there would be much discussion as to whether the two men were terrorists or perhaps mentally imbalanced, criminals, disgruntled citizens or whatever.
I don't think the word terrorism had been coined as yet but the thinking remains the same.
